Prompt : Explore new territory. Try a new instrument, gear, plug-in, scale, etc.

Tried the following new things :
1. Time in 13/8
2. Glitch sounds from a new library

Wondering if I should've tried them separately though since it's hard to hear where beats land through glitch chaos.

Weak Sixx (MPC Weekly Mission No 6)

talkin' to the birds 'n talkin' to the bees
talkin' to the wind 'n talkin' thru the trees
talkin' all along, singin' a song

makin' up a rhyme, makin' up child
take a little trip, take a little dive
take it on down, take it on down, oh

take a little surprise, take a little run
take a little somethin' you have never done

talkin' to the sky 'n talkin' to the wind
talkin' to the higher 'n the higher it begins everything

take it all around, take it instead
take it in stride, take it in there
take it all around, live it all around ya

i don't see ya, i don't hear ya
when you're not ya, so just be ya

everybody takin' 'bout everything else
everything something better than that
can't be this, can't be that
must be something in between

take a big dive, take it in stride
if you learned wrong, you might be right
can't beat it, yo, yo

if you should fall, if you should fail
get a good thrill, tell a ta tale
take on as you go, take it on as you know

Light and Darkness

On a cold, moonless night, Light and Darkness met in a deserted forest. The Light was nothing more than a weak spark, barely more than a glow. The Darkness was all-encompassing, thick as ink and impenetrable.

Darkness: "What are you doing here, little spark? Can't you see this is my realm? I devour everything that comes in my way."

Light: "I may be small, but I am still here. And as long as I exist, I am a sign of hope."

Darkness laughed deeply and thunderously, like an approaching storm.

Darkness: "Hope? You are nothing! A small breath is enough to extinguish you."

The Light flickered slightly, but it stood firm.

Light: "Perhaps you can extinguish me, but even in my disappearance, the memory of me remains. And wherever there is a spark of hope, new light can arise."

The Darkness was silent for a moment, then it thickened even more to suffocate the Light.

Darkness: "Try it then. I have already extinguished countless lights, and each time the night only became darker and more powerful."

The Light now shone a bit brighter, as if nourished by an inner strength.

Light: "Maybe you underestimate me. Every flame starts small, but it can grow and become stronger. It can bring warmth and light, even into the deepest darkness."

Darkness began to seethe, feeling that the Light was not weakening but growing stronger.

Darkness: "What nonsense! You will suffocate in my embrace!"

But the Light now glowed with a definite strength, its glow growing into a flame.

Light: "I am the light of hope and renewal. Even if you envelop me, I will break through. For where there is light, darkness cannot exist."

With these words, the Light spread further, its rays piercing through the Darkness, piercing it like a thousand tiny arrows. The Darkness whimpered, retreated, unable to bear the growing brightness.

Light: "It is time for you to retreat. Your grip is not infinite. Where there is light, darkness cannot exist."

The Darkness retreated further and further, until it was only a shadow in the corners. The Light now shone bright and clear, filling the forest with a warmth that had previously been missing.

Darkness: "You may have won, this time. But I will always return."

Light: "And I will always be here to push you back. For just as the day follows the night, so does light follow darkness. And in every battle, I will triumph again."

The Darkness finally disappeared, and the forest was bathed in warm, golden light. The Light had triumphed, and with it, hope returned to the world.

"The 21st century will be spiritual or it will not be" ... said André Malraux.

Spiritual, yes, perhaps, but in what form? The one dictated by politicians under orders, assisted by Artificial Intelligence (AI), then it is certain that it will not be.

The general madness engendered by an organized dehumanization is taking over us like gangrene, a lack of love, peace and respect for all human beings, whoever they may be. It is appalling, dramatic and our end could be terrible if we continue on this path to perdition. It is high time to grow one's Soul and Spirit to put them at the service of the common good of our humanity in all its diversity.

Some even think of imposing a third world war on us to raze everything and start over with another civilization project, but we build nothing good, nothing solid on ashes, even less a utopian project thought up by the powerful financiers, a too beautiful mirror to the larks made of Lies and Betrayal to put, this time again, the human in slavery but in a much more terrifying and virulent way.

The future civilization, because there will be one, will be entirely subject to the despotic regime of an entity formatted by enlightened humans who want to hoist themselves on the pedestal of the Gods, but it is a pious wish cradled in advance by illusions.

Putting humans in slavery of thought, depriving them of all their rights as human citizens will be, in the long term, fateful for them, this has been true since the dawn of humanity.
Once their goal is achieved, if they succeed, it will make them totally slaves of a powerful "Octetic Artificial Intelligence" which, with its acquired free thought, will exterminate them in turn, and yes, there will be no paradise on earth, neither for us and even less for them, that's how it is, unless the people wake up in time 🙂 but it will be to fight against machines... does that remind you of anything? -

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."
