Wasn't looking at the screen when this came on, but I instantly said, "hey, it's Doug!" Love this collaboration.

the variations of M.Nomized on a base track by Marco Lucchi

MARCO LUCCHI & M.NOMIZED - wallpaper music n*1 (Arctic Variations)

Text and Music by Vincent Eoppolo. Spoken Word: Ilaria Boffa

ENGLISH TEXT

We walk among the ruins with trembling grace, entranced by our own reflection,
seeking solace in the very engines of our undoing,

The earth sighs beneath an ashen veil
its wounded forests exhaling a perfume of loss.

Oceans turn in their restless sleep, heavy with unseen wounds,
and the sky, once indifferent, now trembles with a feverish light.

Even the sun seems to shine with a sickened gold,
as if ashamed to illuminate our excess and complete disregard.

Meanwhile, the church steeple stretches towards heaven as if a plea
but the heavens answer only with cold indifference.

Camminiamo tra le Rovine (We Walk Among The Ruins)

Part 2 of the final track of Then She Reaches For The Gun's 2nd Album
released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-with-you.

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

かくれが（Hideout）

逃げ道はどこにあるか
抜け道はどこにあるか
隠れ家はどこにあるか
山間に日射しと雨を避ける大きな葉をもつ植物の群生地を探すか
地下鉄の廃駅の仄暗いあかりの下にうずくまるか
劇場の透明ガラスのブロックの空洞の中から
せわしなく街路を行き交う人の歪んだ姿を眺めていようか
石油は
ねずみ穴にも
もぐら穴にも
壁の隙間にも
くろぐろと浸み渡る

Where is the escape route? 
Where is the secret passage? 
Where is the hideout?
Should I search for a grove of large-leafed plants in the mountains to shelter from the sun and rain? 
Or should I crouch under the dim light of an abandoned subway station? 
Or should I gaze at the distorted figures of people busily passing by on the streets from inside the hollow of a theater's clear glass blocks?
Petroleum seeps into rat nests, mole nests, and cracks in the walls.


Hideout
