Pablo's Jam

Derelict

method: plain reading, no frills.
narration: it's abstract. The title again refers to one of alexander gottlieb baumgarten's categories.

poem / copyright jo richter:

the embodied, sensual mind can only venture
so far, whereas the unshackled, disembodied mind can roam
freely within rational logics, conjectures and models

he remembers reading tomes, yellowing pocket books, displays
and thrice only he came into contact with medieval parchment
vellum, heroically illuminated, gloriously saved

sure, he had tried to bridge the gap, scratch into
home-made clay tablets - he was a writer, however, not
an artisan, and disliked the infantile, unwieldy outcome

inherently, languages are prone to transform, to vanish
and the lore of culture now hovers above a digital void
of impermanence amidst rainbow-coloured candy wrappings

sloterdijk's philosophy of foams, bubbles, globes and spheres
will not sustain the sedimentation of this geological stratum
much like leibnitz', kant's, nietzsche's, heidegger's, cassierer's, other's

how do you theorize for a red-hot, amorpheous future
when all the sublime moves of the mind will blaze
up in a consciousness alien to the present, scorching

do not rely on forces beyond your grasp, the
stoicists said, and lao tze kindly dictated for a single
border official, aware of the incremental nature of knowledge

If you go down to the woods today…

Sigur is apparently Icelandic for ‘triumph’ or ‘victory’. Sigur Ros is a band whose distinctive sound I very much like. This piece sounds nothing like them, and has nothing to do with Iceland, but the band did provide the inspiration for my favourite preset for the amazing new iPad synth app King Of Digital. And I used it a lot here. So: Sigur it is.

Sigur

Recording and composition process happened between January of 2022 and October of 2023 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. All instruments, compositions and lyrics by Raoni Martins, except lyrics for track 11 which is a collab with Lucas Ajúr. Front Cover's drawing art and design beautifully done by Emilia Oliveira. Inlay and back cover's art by Raoni Martins. 

   The new work from Draven Project showcases a sound that tries to bring a good balance between the influences around the band. The last album's style is more developed here. It's a blend of Rock, Electronic, and Hip Hop. The album is called Cybertronic Dissonance and it contains thirteen tracks. It is divided into two acts. Act I is called The Raven's Nest, which is written and based on real situations and memories. It's about the life journey and trespassing through many issues while trying to be alive and make ends meet. Lyrics are filled with energy and rage against the past years facing music business and life. Every song on Act I is a moment of intense truth. Act II is called The Evil Flock. It's a set of 6 poems written to be songs. Music inspired by the works of Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jim Morrison.  
   
   There is a cyberpunk vibe running throughout the album, like a soundtrack from a dystopic world. The use of synthesizers and keyboards grew more and more on each album. Billy Idol, Depeche Mode and Ministry are for sure references for this release as well. Venus Highway goes right between Idol and Joy Division's sound with symphonic synth rock touches and doses of Brazilian music.

The raven figure on the album is a reference to the graphic novel and movie series The Crow. Therefore, it follows the concept of a raven being the holder of the heart and soul of someone while this person deals with revenging a great loss. The whole album is ambiented in the way the raven is standing on the shoulder of the main character, following his steps. There are many references to the famous black bird on the album. Act I is called The Raven's Nest because it means a relation to being born and alive into this world and having to learn to fly by fear of falling down and ceasing to live. This fear gets the bird into the majestic skill of flying, so it can fly over the land and face the world. While Act II is called The Evil Flock because it relates to the bird in a mature life, corrupted by the evil of the world while struggling to survive every single day.
