what is freedom? //
living proof by collabs #august 2025 - con mucho AuGusto
/
august brought a wave of inspired collaborations—so many creative sparks flew this month!

musically speaking, a lot of flavors covered: live jams, jazz fusion, funk, house, techno, classic rock anthems, punk, alternative, experimental, ambient, lo-fi, hip-hop, folk, singer-songwriter—every groove under the sun welcome.

our musical handshakes reached out from argentina to germany, poland, italy, japan, and switzerland.

languages dropped in the mix: english and german

collaboration languages: spanish, german, polish, japanese, english, and of course, swiss german

the playlist keeps the chronological drop order more or less, track one is already the exception of the rule - this song sums up this month of August in turmoil quite well, for me at least.

What's Coming: Freedom in Frequency+ // 
Soul Maniacs live @ Damm, Zürich / Switzerland 
/
music: 
two cover versions performed by the Soul Maniacs, a collective based in Zürich, Switzerland.
/ 

Streetplayers are the pulse—urban troubadours weaving raw life into every beat and rhyme.  
They own the streets’ secrets and stories, turning the daily grind into art and anthem.  
More than performers, they’re navigators of culture’s undercurrent—voices of unfiltered truth.  
In every corner, their signal sparks connection: streetwise poetry alive and thriving.

Lyrics:
Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

When you say you love me
I will take you at your work
But if that word is broken
From me you will not be heard

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

不条理 / distance

Let yourself drift upon synth bass so thick it can carry the weight of the world... while gently distorted synths play time amongst a slowly ticking tempo... and space is defined by the time it takes for the echo Vox to return...

/ to(tally) fictionalive or not

/
An artist is someone who creates or expresses ideas, emotions, or visions through a chosen medium, aiming to communicate, inspire, or evoke a response.

This definition embraces all forms of creativity—visual, musical, literary, or performance—and emphasizes the purpose of connection and expression rather than formal titles or external validation.

Brain Hop

Brain Hop is a musical genre invented by the artist fictionalive on Monday, December 1st, 2025, at 1:24 PM. The genre seeks to bring depth, intellect, and philosophical reflection into (hip-hop) music, emphasizing thoughtful lyricism and cognitive engagement. Brain Hop differentiates itself from mainstream (hip-hop) by prioritizing meaningful content, complex themes, and a cerebral approach to rhythm and rhyme.

The creation of Brain Hop responds to criticisms that contemporary (hip-hop) often lacks intellectual depth. It aims to provide an artistic space where artists explore profound social, political, and existential issues through innovative beats and poetic lyrics. Brain Hop is positioned as part of a movement to elevate (hip-hop) culture into new territories of artistic and cultural significance.

As of its inception, Brain Hop is recognized as an emerging genre within underground and alternative music scenes, promising to attract listeners and creators who value music that stimulates both mind and soul.
