I made this song as part of a youth workshop, teaching them how to make music. We had a blast. It's not the best song, but it has it's charm.

Gegen Verführung by Bertolt Brecht (German)

Laßt Euch nicht verführen!
Es gibt keine Wiederkehr.
Der Tag steht in den Türen,
ihr könnt schon Nachtwind spüren:
Es kommt kein Morgen mehr.
Laßt Euch nicht betrügen!
Das Leben wenig ist.
Schlürft es in vollen Zügen!
Es wird Euch nicht genügen,
wenn Ihr es lassen müßt!
Laßt Euch nicht vertrösten!
Ihr habt nicht zu viel Zeit!
Laßt Moder den Erlösten!
Das Leben ist am größten:
Es steht nicht mehr bereit.
Laßt Euch nicht verführen
Zu Fron und Ausgezehr!
Was kann Euch Angst noch rühren?
Ihr sterbt mit allen Tieren
und es kommt nichts nachher.

Gegen Verführung by Bertolt Brecht (English)

Don’t let yourselves be tempted!
There is no return.
The day stands in the doorways,
You can already feel the night wind:
There will be no more tomorrow.
Don’t let yourselves be deceived!
Life is little.
Slurp it in full strokes.
It will not be enough for you,
When you must leave it!
Don’t let yourselves be consoled!
You don’t have much time!
Leave the decay of the released!
Life is the greatest:
It doesn’t stand ready anymore.
Don’t let yourselves be tempted
To drudgery and being robbed of one’s strength
What can still stir fear in you?
You will die with all the animals
And nothing will come afterwards.

BT & Iraina Mancini - The War [Milocraft Remix]

Milocraft is an American electronica musician, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and a visual artist.

Milocraft gained popularity with the independent release of his debut album called Epic Carols in November 2012. Milocraft funded this first commercial album with a fundraising campaign on kickstarter.com.

Early years (1989–2012)
Growing up in a family with professional musicians as parents, music was the way of life. With six kids who also played music there was always a violin, trumpet, or piano blaring away from somewhere in the home. They even had a family singing group complete with programs and dance steps.

At the age of 14, his father, a professional musician, bought a new synthesizer keyboard (Ensonique ASR 10) to help his father compose symphonic music. Luckily for Miles, it also doubled as a virtual multi-track recording machine. Miles learned the basics of recording and songwriting on that machine, spending countless summer nights laying down tracks and beats, sampling old records, and writing his own songs.

Miles pursued music throughout his formal schooling, participating in the Madrigals in high school as well as various musicals, and the Concert Choral at the University of Utah. He also sang in multiple barbershop quartets.

In 1990 he formed a band called “Ditto” with Brian Peterson. Recording on a borrowed 4 -track recorder, they released an album called “Red Rock Shock” in 1991.

In 1993 Miles started his career in computer graphics while attending the University of Utah, studying Fine Arts. Miles continued to work on solo and collaborative musical projects, releasing singles like “Ponymeat” and “Did You Ever Know Him?”.

In 1998 Miles married and started a family. He put off musical interests in favor of pursuing his career in motion graphics. Miles moved to Seattle in 2001 as a founding partner of a tech start-up and began to make video games in 2003.

Miles resumed his musical pursuits in 2003 with Reason from Propellerhead. He began to accrue gear and software to ramp up his musical aspirations. He eventually started using Cubase and adopted it as his main DAW.

In 2010 miles collected his various songs into the “Miles and Friends, Anthology – The Early Years”, which contains 10 albums of music and entertainment.

Epic Carols, an electronic rendition of traditional Christmas carols, was released in 2012. It is distributed through CDBaby.com, and is available in every major music outlet including iTunes, Amazon.com, and Google Play. Stephanie Mason, an accomplished vocalist, is featured on four tracks.

When asked about his passion for creating music, Miles says “I love to lose myself in the rhythmic melodies and hypnotizing beats, especially when I am virtually falling asleep at the keyboard.”

Milocraft’s music is described as trance and synthpop and is often described as belonging under the “electronic music” label. Miles has stated that he is inspired by European electronic music, as well as instrumental genres such as new wave, trance, and post-rock. He cites his biggest influences as U2, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Sting, Yes, Vast, BT, Seven Lions, Celldweller, and Infected Mushroom. 

Miles currently lives in the Seattle, Washington area with his wife and three children where he makes video games as an artist.
