Friendship for All – or Not (We’ve Got Means)

"Friendship for All – or Not (We’ve Got Means)" looks at Western talk of exporting “freedom” and “democracy” and asks what actually arrives on the ground.​

This track moves between promises of friendship and the quiet threat of sanctions, interventions, and military power – the message behind the smile: either you give us what we want, or we take it anyway, we’ve got means.

Vital Signs

Vital to mind
Whats the kind
Will it be friendly
Or of a hostile find
To be or not to be
To tilt or to absorb
Mirroring good glee
Or projecting our bad blood

Vital we see
A universe as me
Willingfully
Aww be brain of free
A vital peruse
The cosmos as we choose
Vital to know
How mind controls the show

The body a window
To the portal of conscience
Nobody of flow
Fortune teller of nonsense
Most makes no sense
The filter finds skill
Sieving the junk
Empowering the thrill

Each decision thats made
Finds a world good or bad
Precision of wisdom
In time mutes more mad
Experience honed
Meditation of mind
Less of that phone
Find more of your true kind

You are the universe
The universe is you
You do become it
Too it becomes you
Controller of entropy
When being of brave
When sanity found
Next children you save
 
Vitality found
Balanced pleasure and pain
Thoughts don't become stuck
Controlling your frame
Escape not addiction
Just love for it all
The truest affliction
Celestial enthral

This song attempts to pay homage to a side I've only learned of Albert Einstein recently enough and that is his interest in consciousness and us psychologically. Although it's obviously not what he's most famous for he seems to attribute some of his most important truths to your mindset and that the universe unfurls itself whatever way that mindset is and by the mood of what it absorbs and projects. I'm probably filling in some gaps there...

"The most important decision you will make in your life is whether you live in a hostile universe or not" Albert Einstein

I feel given the prevalence of so many conspiracy theories most likely confirming the hostilty in peoples heads and in turn those people finding that via their self honed internet algorithms, maybe a good few of us could do with learning that possible truth about our heads. His hunch is kind of confirmed by modern neuroscience and psychology with the discovery of how we actually rewire our brains via neuroplasticity
and we can effectiviely train mindsets in and out of ourselves. Most of the bias ones just make it in their the same way even if their grounding can be questionable such as conspiratorial thinking

Thanks Einstein you genius you!

The "To be or not to be" is a reference to the Shakespeare character Hamlet, where Hamlet ponders how death may be preferable to his suffering, yet for the fear of what lies beyond in the afterlife or lack of a life after death. I think the fallibility we show in the fear of death is fascinating and personally where I think we have evolved the ideas of god and heaven and hell etc... I wonder will we only truly find a proper understanding of empathy for ourselves and each-other when we transcend those fears and start living for life as opposed to generating unprovable realities to look forward to beyond the lights getting switched off permanently.

The pic is my amateur attempt at recording the aurora borealis when it was visible from Ireland earlier on this year for the first time in my life. My most interesting memory of it is what was visible by the naked eye and the phone camera was pretty noticeable and showed me clearly the spectrums we don't see around us all the time quite clearly. The phone picked up the wave lengths much more clearly then my eyes it seems...

Old Textures - A Night At The Cloud in 1935 (Can't Figure To Finish)

Wish I could listen to the song with you, with a nice glass of wine in hand, and a cheers to our adventures here.

Intro:

Ninety years of sound—echoes of jazz horns, the crackle of vinyl, the pulse of analog synths, and the shimmer of digital waves.
A flicker of a Marx Brothers’ gag, the whisper of a film noir monologue, the ghost of a protest chant, the hum of a city at midnight.
A journey—where melodies from forgotten radios and shows dance with the ghosts of futures yet to come.
Press play, close your eyes, and let the textures carry you through time.

It Is Still - A Beautiful World (in 3:33) // Happy New Year Incoming

[It’s definitely not a Christmas song, but the mood should feel acceptably Christmassy].

A few years ago I tried setting this text to music; it’s very well known here among students because it is considered one of the earliest attestations of the Italian language. Discovered on an inner leaf of a liturgical codex preserved in Verona, it was written between the 8th and 9th centuries by an anonymous hand. It is regarded as a “riddle” (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronese_Riddle), generating an enormous amount of scholarship. 
To me, its musicality is evident. 

Compared to the version I recorded in 2018 (I had posted it on YouTube, where it still is), based on the Washburn and the sounds of my old Yamaha, I added some VSTs and re-equalized the vocals. Back then, multiplying the vocal tracks was the most fun part, in order to obtain a choral effect. What came out is what I would call a “false traditional folk song".

The cover illustration is found on one of the opening pages of an 11th-century manuscript preserved at the British Library (Cotton MS Tiberius B. V — see here: https://www.imagesonline.bl.uk/asset/12286/).

Text (original / english translation)

Se pareba boves
alba pratalia araba
et albo versorio teneba
et negro semen seminaba

He led oxen in front of him
ploughed white fields
And held a white plough
And sowed black seed

C'est le soir ; il est doux d'être seuls sur la terre,
L'un à l'autre, muets et faibles de désir.

How Many Snipes — Many Mics (Till The Last Beat)

2025 - the year hope was almost lost

an excerpt, remixed, of:

‘You’re saying that children get shot by SNIPERS’ — ‘Definitely!’ (How Many Mics?)

https://soundcloud.com/fictionalive/youre-saying-that-children-get

Song Description:
/
The American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter, who volunteered in a Gaza hospital, stated with uncompromising clarity: Israeli army snipers deliberately target and kill Palestinian children. He described seeing young bodies marked by impossibly precise sniper fire — shots so accurate no toddler could be hit twice by mistake by the so‑called “world’s best snipers.” He confirmed having photographic evidence, spoke of children executed at close range, and recounted injuries so cruel they defy comprehension. His testimony is an unflinching record of systemic targeting — crimes against humanity carried out in plain view. This is an eternal shame, a page of history written in innocent blood.

:: disclaimer
let me break it down for you - all tracks are handcrafted

/
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 contemporary music, emphasizing thoughtful lyricism, conceptual frameworks, and cognitive engagement across styles. Brain Hop differentiates itself from much mainstream music by prioritizing meaningful content, complex themes, and a cerebral approach to structure, rhythm, and sound design.

The creation of Brain Hop responds to the perception that a lot of current music leans heavily on surface-level entertainment while neglecting intellectual and existential depth. It aims to provide an artistic space where artists explore profound social, political, and existential issues through innovative production and poetic or experimental vocal delivery. Brain Hop can interact with hip-hop, electronic, pop, or experimental traditions, but is defined above all by its focus on ideas and reflection rather than by any single beat pattern or instrumentation.

​As of its inception, Brain Hop is positioned 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.
