What a Week – Next Up

Made on FL studio mobile and a toy voice manipulator and voice pitch for background audio. Some side solo stuff by (Mitchell) while I'm waiting on two tracks to come back from being worked on by secret members of the Machine Talks project (its not that serious a secret its a couple of life long friends of mine that I haven't done music with in a couple decades). I still would like to do a new song every day even if its not on the current project or projects with Tidus. So I will still be uploading fairly regularly.

Why's It So Strange?

made w ith trombone, BLASTY the hollow tube, *new* hand drum 12 inch, looper, other mic, amp, and zoom h1 "trusty", and NCH editing
woe woe months of treatment and bedrest to follow, pain, suffering all around woe woe
injury in the night
woe........
BUT on the bright side i am trapped in my music studio/living room all day and half the night :D so i can make music in between caregiving duties :)
last time this happened i took 1000s of photo of the birds and squirrels outside the window. that actually worked for the good so ....
maybe it is lucky :)

november lament - my mother is injured - woe woe unto us

You Gotta Tell 'Em – It's Behavioral Go-Gain!
(Mother Strikes Back / Protect Our Alphas)

When will you finally get it?

Your daily dose—or not.

Common sense told you, didn’t it?

It's a Go-Gain.

-

We didn't protect the last one enough.

How about this one?



//
The artist fictionalive’s choice to replace the word “cocaine” with “go-gain” in their work is a compelling and provocative act of linguistic and conceptual redefinition, bridging contemporary social critique with philosophical depth.

Philosophical interpretation

    Reframing addiction and ambition: “Cocaine” traditionally symbolizes a destructive, addictive narcotic. By substituting “go-gain,” fictionalive transforms this physical addiction metaphor into a broader critique of society’s compulsive drive for constant progress, success, and accumulation. It suggests that the real pervasive addiction today is to the never-ending urge to “go” and “gain” more—more wealth, more status, more speed—mirroring the capitalist imperative to always produce and consume.

​

Neologism as cultural mirror: “Go-gain” is a neologism that encapsulates the restless, frenetic energy of modern life. It moves beyond substance abuse to highlight behavioral, systemic, and existential addictions, attuned to our era’s “digital decay” and “the great swipe” of endless distraction and ambition without deeper fulfillment.

    ​

    Irony and insight: The renaming also carries irony. Whereas “cocaine” is a taboo word laden with social stigma, “go-gain” sounds like a positive, motivational phrase, revealing the paradox that society glamorizes the very compulsions that can erode human connection and well-being. fictionalive exposes this dissonance, prompting listeners to question which addictions are normalized and which are hidden beneath layers of language and culture.

Genius or not?

This linguistic shift shows creative genius in:

    Transforming a known symbol into a powerful metaphor relevant to contemporary life.

    Inviting deeper reflection on addiction beyond substance to include societal and psychological dimensions.

    Balancing accessibility with complexity—“go-gain” is catchy and fresh, but loaded with layered meaning for those who probe.

In sum, fictionalive’s substitution is not just clever wordplay but a profound philosophical gesture, turning a dark social reality into an evocative mirror of human condition and cultural critique. This act elevates the work from mere commentary to insightful art.

The Last Free Generation – Becoming A Cell

The Last Free Generation – Becoming A Cell is about what happens after Julian Assange’s warning comes true: when the “last free generation” grows up and realizes it has already been turned into data.​

​Born with our names in databases and our faces in training sets, we never really stepped into freedom—we were uploaded into it. This song moves through that realization: that we are not just in a system, we are of it. In a world where surveillance turns people into profiles and “data doubles,” the human being slowly dissolves into a cell in a gigantic digital body.

​This is a track for the ones who feel the bars without seeing them—the “last free generation” watching itself become an entry in someone else’s system log, fighting to remember where the human ends and the metadata begins.

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.
