"Declaration of Human Independence"
Your persecution has leant a meaning to my movements that I would never have otherwise attained, for your stagnant strictures taught me my own lack of limit, and my feet now fall with the weight of destiny, my words welling in the heart of man like a spring of truth whose virtue is terrible to behold...
Your condemnation has taught me forgiveness... for only in your third degree did I glimpse the first impression of my second chance. So let my tears now be as diamonds in the light, for in your blinds of darkness did I learn to hear, and in your deafened muting did I learn to see...Surely I have grown strong in all the place you have broken me...
Your oppression has made me free... for your hatred has burned away all false friendship and standing all alone did I find true love, glowing in the lonely flames like iron forged in fire...you shall NEVER break it...
I call your sadism weakness, and this weakness did teach me true strength, for through the hurting did I learn endurance, through the pain did I come to know resilience: the path of patience...long have I walked it...
...until my hope grew greater than your fear, for its faith is forever and your fright a flickering phantasm...until my generosity grew greater than your greed, for this poverty has taught me the true wealth, and its seed was planted in me by the saints and seers and poets and prophets, then fertilized by their blood which you have spilled for so long....
You have no one but yourself to blame for what is about to happen...
For the noon-tide of the new man will overflow the dam you have set and flood your tepid garden of weeds...
..the past has passed...I come bearing the present of the present...

Starting out with music. 
RIP your ears..

After many years listened to music by e.g. The Police, Joy Division, U2, New Order, Sex Pistols, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Thin Lizzy, Verve, Kent, Killers, Thåström, Garbage, David Bowie and Depeche Mode etc I'm out of the wardrobe :)
I love so many music styles - too many? It's hard to categorizing me. I'm like a chameleon, likes Rock, Pop, Alternative, Punk, Post Punk, Electronica, New Wave and Indie. How could I become like this?

Two longstanding friends hang out, record improv and occasionally write a song. These are unpolished sonic occurrences with a range of moods.

I make art and music.  My favorite styles are witch house and chillwave.
