Sagan discusses the story of the Heike crab and artificial selection of crabs resembling samurai warriors, as an opening into a larger discussion of evolution through natural selection (and the pitfalls of intelligent design). Among the topics are the development of life on the Cosmic Calendar and the Cambrian explosion; the function of DNA in growth; genetic replication, repairs, and mutation; the common biochemistry of terrestrial organisms; the creation of the molecules of life in the Miller–Urey experiment; and speculation on alien life (such as life in Jupiter's clouds). In the Cosmos Update ten years later, Sagan remarks on RNA also controlling chemical reactions and reproducing itself and the different roles of comets (potentially carrying organic molecules or causing the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event).

Waves wear the faces I used to wear
Parrots repeating the salt in the air
[every echo is dressed in another name]

The parrot drops a single plume
Eyes fix on its fall, breath held in gloom
[while he sheds the rest in a fever of light]
He slips the cage in moon’s embrace
Buggy in tow, no Jonah to chase

Un abrazo donde la carne y la luz se funden en un solo cuerpo sonoro.
El violín arde como fuego dorado, el chelo tiembla como un suspiro humano, y los tambores laten como un corazón ancestral.
En su clímax, todo se disuelve en un resplandor: la música no distingue ya entre lo físico y lo eterno, solo queda amor convertido en energía pura.

Well. There is alot to tell about this one and i fear i could write a book, but i spare you. Haha! I've discovered the Japan Synth Pioneer Jun Fukamachi quite some time ago and while doing so, i digged every possible Album on Youtube and leeched this craft. Also had the chance to buy me a few CD's, as there are not so much out there.... rare jewels ... :)

I simply love him. His diversity and ingenousness is something i really really set as a high mark for myself. As long as i can "recall", there was music in my life and even as a child and later on as young and old teenager i loved to go fully emotional with music (like listening to Seal - Kiss from a Rose when a girl broke up with me back then, or discovering ACDC's Back in Black feeling like a little Rocker.... Nirvana and the tragedy when i heard that "Kurtl", as we would could his first name in German, just put a (wtf) shotgun in his head and pulled the trigger... )

Later on i was a pure Metalbanger and even while being one, i was listening to all of the Subgenres, and liked them, no pure black, death, trash, power, or whatsoever,...... This is something i think was always there due to being libra zodiac sign... balance... I became older and suddenly metal was not enough... so i digged everything and no matter if its eletronic, oldschool rock, experimental, classic, ambient, jazz, blues, .... and so on.... i love the variety and this brings me to all of YOU.

I had tons of cds, the napster era , the youtube extreme "following the youtube algorythm into crazy places" thing, i was in wacken as young metalbanger, listening to classic concerts, going to musicals and even watching an opera.... diversityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..... and now... soundcloud!!! I cannot get enough and if there would be a risk of getting a burnout from listening to all of you, id be the first, for real.

Now the song. I finished it before i even took the andrew huang online course and i am fking happy to exactly release it with the skills i had back then and i dont want to brag ... but i really cant tell you people what struck me back then... maybe this immense jun fukamachi listening and discovering alot of people on here, on the cloud, which already influences me ALOT.

I would not be at the place where i am right now, without YOU and so i dedicate Gate 138 to all of YOU. This piece is LOVE and FUN, and CRAZY and im putting a few words in CAPSLOCK, just because i CAN. HHAAHAHA.

The story behind this cover is a complete different one to tell and please dont be too hard on me because this text is already huuuuuuuuge and long! So finished the piece and i had this picture in my head. There was simply nothing i could get on the web to build it with my graphic skills, neither (not yet lol) am i able to draw it myself, so i checkt out Fiverr and looked for a special and unique artist with his very own style.... and i found him!!

John Bucknall. A young very talented artist from UK. He has as a very unique mindset and it took way longer than i wanted to... he was not very fast, but no complains here. The whole process from zero to the finished cover was just nothing i ever experienced before, and i am really happy that i did choose him and that he exactly managed to draw this stuff in his own style, but presenting that track in the way i wanted it to be with visuals. (btw we are both on the picture to discover..... heheh). You can find him here -> https://www.instagram.com/johnbucknallart

The story behind this is quite simple. You could transform the situation to any other stressed and crazy thing going on in your life. There is this little android guy and he is freaking out because he is about to miss his shuttle... he worked hard and is always flying around on business trips and hell yeah... life really treats him not so nice... haha. I feel really with him and wished he would catch the shuttle but yeah... whatever. 

Commander Fullyard out.

Soul of the Souk - Windtronix (Windscale Blues Experiment & Gary Rees)

Bleaklow: a windswept gritstone plateau in the Dark Peak area of Derbyshire. In amongst the stark features of this wilderness are peat bogs, heather moorland, the sad site of a B29 plane wreck and The Wain Stones. Two of these boulders form the amazing 'Kissing Stones' - an inspiring sight for those who venture up there.

For Janis, Gosia & Tim, 
Snow song 

Snow is descending
Branching out
Fill the world
with a cover of silence
from moist to crystal
A shiny endless glow.

The hour is getting late
The world is getting full.
Will you be there?
With me
    in this snow.

The guitar parts were recorded with my KorgD888. After finding them back again today, I added harmonica, a string sound with the VST Orpheus, and a small vocal part.

Things are so complicated in today's world.  Can we even look ahead to the future?  On our modal funk fusion original, I'm joined once again by the artistry of the all-star trio of Italy's Daniele Turani on guitar, and Germany's Georg Boehme on tenor sax and Mirko Borach on bass.  Love what these guys do:
