The path of least resistance
The certainty of doubt
Reflections in a mirrored cage
The withs who are without
The burden of conformity
The illusion of choice
The silence of defiance to the inner voice

Waking up, coming home
Waking up, coming home

The safety in compliance
Shielding from the light
The appliance of the science
The truth that’s never right
So many years to drift the drift
The winding lane of fate
Released for good behaviour
It’s nevermore too late

Waking up, coming home
Waking up, coming home
(Following the path of least resistance)

The actor leaves the stage

Reflections

hey folks!

enjoy this long-forgotten track

Perplexing Patternity is the result of this stormy year. Kind of a purging or clean up. Lot's of hard and weird stuff happening. Trying to manage through it and find some kind of peace amidst all the craziness. Kind of old school electronic. Wanting to escape to childhood nostalgia, but maybe incorporate this hectic all over feeling and the simultaneous search for peace of mind in it. Hope it's something you'd enjoy to listen. For me it was kind of a struggle and the my feeling about whole project is kind of confused, but sometimes you just got to see it trough, I think.

Both songs on the double a-side single were recorded on a laptop, while on holiday, some 10 years ago.  They were then subject to a limited release with another project.  These versions were remastered in December 2020 when I stumbled upon the files.

wenn die transzendenten subatomaren Prozesse erodieren,
und die synaptischen Reflektionen im Fluss der endokrinen Nervensäfte dahingleiten,
begibt sich das atonale Bewusstsein auf eine höhere Stufe,
die Radikale Lumination Ersten Grades,
die ein erster Schritt auf dem Weg in das Audio-Nirvana ist,
der Beginn der totalen musikalischen Anarchie

when the transcendent subatomic processes erode,
and the synaptic reflections slide in the flow of the endocrine nerve juices,
the atonal consciousness moves to a higher level,
the First Degree Radical Lumination,
which is a first step towards audio nirvana,
the beginning of total musical anarchy

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
