Krakatit is the name for an explosion with an unimaginably destructive effect. Its inventor himself, the engineer Prokop, is frightened by it, but for many others it represents the desired instrument of absolute power. In Karel Čapek's novel of the same name, published in 1924, Prokop's attempts and their consequences were purely the author's vision. On the other hand, the film adaptation, which was created not long after the Second World War and the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, apparently partly reflects real events. Apart from the urgent moral appeal, it still captivates today with its delirious atmosphere and visual ingenuity in real exteriors and fantastic backdrops

A message from the movie that is still very relevant and very dangerous today, said by the character of the demagogue

Demagogue: "Where has the victory of democracy, government, led you? To humiliation and hunger, to confusion and helplessness! Noble nations are in want; for those who were destined to rule have been worn out by the lot! We are chosen by providence to raise from the dust the chosen nations and they showed the inferiors their place.

Narcissism Is Such A Paradox

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.

We've got no time to cool the burning hammer we've raised so high,
No time to escape the hammer swinging down from the sky.
　　
What we need is time to think, a moment to contemplate,
To defeat those who steal our time, our foes we won't underestimate.

I'm an avant-garde musician. I like to experiment with software, instruments, and everyday objects when creating on a song.

Music is my latest artistic passion; aside from being deeply invested in making music, I create digital art, drawings, paintings, mixed-media pieces, photography, photomanipulations, poetry, and short stories. All of which can be found on my DeviantArt: Leehon.

Thank you for reading and listening.
