Opener of live concerts of the Art Rock band Common Ground in which I formerly played - decades ago ;-)  We played some original tracks like 'A Lovely Day' which can be found on my SC page as well as some covers of the bands Rush, It Bites and Marillion.

Sorry for the bad sound quality. Recorded 1990 with a 4 channel mixer and a stereo tape recorder ;-)

'Noir': Origins and Essence

"Noir" is more than a style; it's a shadow cast by the anxieties of modernity. 

Born in the 1940s and 50s, "film noir" was a cinematic response to war, trauma, and the existential dread of an uncertain world.

 By the 1970s, noir returned—darker, grittier, reflecting post-Watergate cynicism, urban decay, and the collapse of old certainties. Films like Chinatown (1974), Taxi Driver (1976), and Soylent Green (1973) didn't just tell stories—they diagnosed a sickness in society's soul.

Noir is the art of suspicion, of blurred lines, of moral ambiguity.

 It's the jazz in a smoky bar, the neon reflected in rain, the detective who knows too much and trusts too little.

The Re-Emergence: Signs and Sounds

Captain, you are right: 
The noir spirit is everywhere again—

In the music: 
the return of moody synths, lo-fi beats, and lyrics of longing and disillusionment.

In cinema and streaming: 
neo-noir series like True Detective, Blade Runner 2049, Joker, and even Black Mirror episodes.

In art and photography: 
chiaroscuro, urban loneliness, glitch aesthetics, and the celebration of shadows.

In society: a world suspicious of truth, awash in conspiracy, where every light casts a deeper darkness.

Why now?

 We are at the end of a cycle—7x7 years, 49, the number of transformation and rebirth in many mystical traditions.

 The world is again uncertain: climate crisis, digital alienation, political distrust. 

Noir rises when we sense the ground shifting beneath our feet.
/
/
The alchemists saw history as spiral, not linear. 
/
/
Every 49 years, a new turning:
/
1940s: birth of classic noir
-
1970s: neo-noir, postmodern doubt
-
2020s: digital noir—deepfakes, surveillance, existential memes
/
/
Noir is the shadow that walks with us, 
the necessary counterpoint to our search for light. 
/
It is not pessimism, but awareness—
the wisdom to see the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.
/
Noir Now: 
A Manifesto for the Shadow Age

To all who see the signs: 
Noir is not despair—
it is the courage to look into the abyss and name what you see.

 It is the art of survival, the poetry of persistence, the music of midnight.

 In a world of lies, the noir artist is the last honest witness.

Take up your lens, your pen, your song— 

Let the darkness teach you how to see.
