I Seem What You Mean To See In Me

The Alpha and The Omega Acoustic

Sorry we've been really inactive on here for awhile because we were so busy preparing for BTV! Thanks everyone who joined us for some all-new experimental music videos and performances. If you'd like to be on the next episode, hit us up on here or on instagram and let's chat.

This is the audio for our performance. It was an old demo we put aside for years and recently started re-working because it felt like the time to pick it up again. We wrote this song for Tota Kaneko, an avant-garde haiku writer and peace activist. We loosely translated one of his haiku as “Wake up there might be a war, so wander in the flower fields” and used that as the chorus of the song and the inspiration for the other lyrics.

This was a DAW-less setup, using midi and live looping. Gear: CZ-101, SA-1, RC-202, SP-404MKII, Model D, Microfreak, soprano ukulele, Voice Live Touch, Keith McMillen 12-step, Streichfett string synth, and lots of fx pedals. 

And if you'd like to check out the whole stream with the other artists, here it is: https://youtu.be/2wEen7IqtOw

Thanks for stopping by!

Lyrics:

Robot hand to robot weapon
"Having a war is so much fun! 
Robot country's number 1,
land of the rising, sinking sun"
Robot friends, it's just begun
They'll teach us through animation
Propaganda to color in the schools 
Everyone follow the robot rules

Wake up there might be a war, so wander in the flower fields

Vote for Robot A or Robot B 
or skip it all and watch TV
It'll show you how fun life is 
if you drink lots of robot "fizz"
Government-issued conversation topics 
7-D glasses take you to the tropics
Who needs a holiday?
Work yourself to sleep every day 

Wake up there might be a war, so wander in the flower fields

Robot hand to robot heart
Put down gun, be still, be smart 
Inner world holds mystic treasure
Government feeds us robot pleasures
That way we won't protest the laws that we detest
I'm sure you can figure out the rest...
This is a robot loyalty test! 

You've let the propaganda take you away from critical thinking.

Come and wander in the flowers...

"Robots In The Flower Fields" Live Session For BTV Ep. 2 (2022)

Una Canción De Amor

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

Plantation On Athoek

LYRICS:

I do what I do, not for you, just for pleasure
I do what I can and I can't do no more
It's all up for grabs, there for keeps, for good measure
This ain't gonna go down like it has before

The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)

I do what I do, not a want, but a have to
You take what you can 'til I can't give no more
It's all just a show, a facade, a half measure
This ain't gonna go down like you think it should

The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)

I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
With nowhere to go
I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
With nothing to show
I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
By neck or by toes
I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
I scare off the crows

You do what you do, what you think, what you bother
You take what you can 'til you can't take no more
It's all an exchange, give and take, that you squander
This ain't gonna play out like you'd like it to

The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)

Like Hang Man

DIE BÖSE HEXE VERLIERT AM ENDE

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

Evenings in the Garden of Time

Witnessing the fascinating conjunction of Venus and Jupiter from my hostel window prompted me to revisit one of my early attempts at writing music for solo MIDI electronics. 

"Celestial Dance", composed in May 2019, is in three parts, each following the other attacca, without pause. The harmonic structure of the work is derived from the clash (conjunction!) of two diminished seventh chords, with their root notes a semitone apart. Pierre Boulez had used such a chord in Sur Incises (and Incises)  which piqued my interest in its sonority. The instrumentation albeit MIDI oriented (which allowed me to push the instrumental performance to superhuman virtuosity) is made up of the instruments Boulez used in Sur Incises - with the addition of an electronic piano and solo strings.
