Places we have been - they guide us somehow. Sometimes even if we only have been dreaming of beeing there.

In the streets of Osaka there is a lot of melodic sounds in the air. From traffic lights, garbage collections, mobile traders selling ramen soup... 

In this track everything you hear is from field recordings made by @maguri - thank you Martin!

Osaka

This is a song about a dehumanized human being inserting code strings on the terminal console of his computer, and convincing himself of being somehow almighty or immortal, thanks to the privileged relationship he thinks he has established with the processor. But his computer's crude response is that he's just a freaking out mortal creature...

Teth Sin : guitars, vocals, bass guitar, sampler (drums)

LYRICS:

[Computer:] lns/dev/dsp/lsd/
[Dehumanized human:] I really won’t surrender… I’m gonna live much longer
[Computer:] I got your words misplaced… I ain’t no friendly interface
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please save us all
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – pacmd; load module; remap sink; sink name equal mono
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna live forever… C’mon babe, let’s have a drink together
[Computer:] Your mind is really messed up, I’m gonna have a drink from your cup
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please hear my call
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – cat/proc/bus/user/usb U.S.A.
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna mock the devil, increase the fighting level
[Computer:] Your code is certainly wrong, so I believe your time ain’t long
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, I guess I’m losing control

The basic tracks for some of these songs were scattered through other music I had recorded over the last ten years.  Quarantine has given me the time to hear some of this music with fresh ears. In most instances dozens of instrument tracks were stripped away to find some forgotten core that made me nod or smile.  Then I started again.  All new recording has been done since the start of lock down and tries to put a sound on the subtle dislocation of a global disaster that is mostly (for me) expressed in my daily life as an absence, a taking away rather than a presence; a distantly felt thing.  

All tracks recorded and mixed at Shadowbear Studio.  Mastering at Black Knoll Studio.  Photo taken by Csilla Varadi.
