While working in the woodwind workshop I ordered the extremely volatile chemical Toluene. It's an alcohol made to strip away organic material.
Unknowingly, I spilled some on the table & leaned in it. It soaked into my shirt sleeve.
It is a hallucinogen at a high enough dose.
I went home in a particularly good mood…

After performing a mental self assessment, I shifted my visual perspective & noticed phantom lights we get after a hard sneeze.
I saw blue particles trickling in the left corner of my vision.
Immediately, I began interacting with the particles.

I used the backing track “IV” from Fritz Pape's album "Music From My Computer" & laced his composition with Xola textures.
Thanks to Obsolete Staircase.

Toluene C6 H5 CH3

from my "Burned Barbie Phase"

Written on Halloween ’22; Plastic is a single nights work.
Swift & crisp, adding 32nd snares is the fastest way to give any track the club feel.
Snare is the “up”.

After showing the track to Vorp in Chicago July 23’,
He blessedly spun it @SmartBar under his performance brand Dark Heaven.
Exposure is everything!

Plastic

Flux is a chemical used to guide heat during the sealing process of soldering.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics; heat will travel to the coolest area before conducting. Flux is a messy liquid that will burn off under high heat after applied to the surface area.
The piece was written during the historic December 22’ winter storm.

Sean Paul & Aallyah are the inspirations for the track.
Sean Pauls “Get Busy” has an intriguing bass figure that inspires motion below the navel.
I use this compression as a motor in the track Light Skin Flux Hop.
Aaliyahs performance in Queen of The Damned is the last film she was cast before her untimely death (2001).
The dance sequence when her character is introduced has lived in my memory. Using the components of flux to guide the mind to the coolest areas of the body hopefully to inspire the swaying motion as Aaliyah moved through the crowd, delivers. 

The Latina in the track slide is the vileness of the EP.
She is wearing the crown/headpiece dressed to Akasha.

Working w/ Bxn to develop the vileness, we joked about the perception of light & dark skinned black people.
The Latin & Afro community have been intertwined thoughout the history of the Americas. I can commit 20% of every project to having some sort of Latin feel infused into the work. Camb loves his light skins.

Light Skin Flux Hop

Humiliating;
I left the water running while editing & flooded my downstairs neighbors apt.
The floors were so hot I could not stand on them barefoot. Water even seeped from the 1st floor to the basement.
Hot water through 2 stories. Several hundred dollars of damage.
2 is an apology composition to the two tenants in apt 1. It comes with 2 art canvases.
They soon moved out after the incident; we didn’t speak much afterwards.
Sincere apologies to Jacob & Emily Sullivan.

The character design for this slide is @Bxnjamin himself.
I found Bxn on Bandcamp's suggestions.
He has an album "Son-Bxn" where he is Goku with an afro.
As Free Radicals is using tropes from Inuyasha, I asked for Bxn to depict himself in the Warring States Era (with braids). I have had a career defining sprint working with Bxnjamin. He is an exceptional artist visually, & tonally.

In February 23’ there was a chemical spill in Northern Ohio.
The New Palestine train derailment received an alarming amount of coverage.
Propaganda is the tool of choice for mass media dissemination. Unfortunately, we were told the water was safe; what we experienced was that the water was inflammatory. For the 10 million+ residence of the entire Ohio River lied to; we have to remember “out of sight” does not mean “out of mind.” Not thinking about it, does not mean the water is not inflamed. 
Shortly after the New Palestine spill, there was a barge collision & sinking of several thousand tons of methanol here in Louisville.
-same symptoms within the same time table (relative to the travel distance)

I found it interesting that both incidences circulate around the number “2&3” - occult & masonic pillars of sigil magic.
Since the Shutdown, I am positively convinced, the Earth & her inhabitants are being subjected to mass indoctrination, silencing of education, & the rolling back of civil practices that secure the sovereignty of our collective future. Not only our country, but the world at large. 
The powers that be use chemistry to their advantage. 
Our phones, food, water, sexual proclivities, intelligence ect … are tools to mute our own conquest of self mastery.

For Free Radicals' final track, Chlorine 35.452; I asked Bxn to develop a Sesshomaru inspired character from the anime, Inuyasha. 
In the anime, Sesshomaru inherits a sword from the nether world that does not have the ability to harm. It brings life back from the dead.
His name, translating to perfect killing/ destruction (Sessho) & boy becoming man (Maru)
Sesshomaru is a term, not a name.
