nice ! great piano and synths ! the guitars and vocal lift this one beautifully ! nice work ! love it !

Present Paradox' latest work, "A Trace To Keep Control", takes the listener into the feeling of losing control by addressing personal upheavals, the end of familiar closeness, the pressing climate crisis and the social shift to the right. The album is an artistic exploration in which the personal interweaves with the political and social in the lyrics.

The musical landscape of "A Trace To Keep Control" skillfully combines elements of krautrock, post-punk and experimental rock into a dynamic mesh. Saxophones and clarinets add a jazzy touch to some of the tracks, giving the 49-minute album an extremely multifaceted dimension.

The album will be released on May 17, 2024 via Timezone Records. It presents itself as an artistic manifesto that captures the challenges of the perceived loss of control and explores the path to orientation amidst the uncertainties in a musical way.

A Trace To Keep Control

A caustic meaning
A lack of empathy
Learning social skills
Bereft of intimacy

And this is what you get
When you mess with it
And realise all them fears

But don’t you pretend 
That there’s a blame to see
Because I’ve no answer 
A broken tapestry

A sinking feeling
Of all that might have been

And this is what it is
A cryptic meaning
And a mystery that can’t be solved 

But don’t you pretend 
That there’s a blame to see
Because I’ve no answer 
A broken tapestry

It’s here one day then gone again the next day
Hides away in plain sight and doesn’t stray 
And it shocks you back to life

And this is nothing new 
And to the damaged few 
I realise what this means

But don’t you pretend 
That there’s a blame to see
Because I’ve no answer 
A broken tapestry

Broken Tapestry

Hello, nice people,
I made"Doin' Fine" a time ago and it was one of my first attemps to use effects and sounds like risers etc... 
Now recently I listened again and thought, with some remastering it is a humble attempt, to bring the feeling you have when you're young. 

When your bed stands in the right place of the world, you're mostly "doin’ fine"

lyrics;

When I was 21,  I was doin’ fine
I didn’t have no car but    	 that  was fine
I didn’t have no money but		“
I          “        job				“
“                 House
I didn’t have no job    			Doin’ fine

 
When I was 21 I was doin’ fine
I didn’t have no car but    	 that  was fine
I didn’t have no money but		“
I          “        job				“
“House
I didn’t have no job    			Doin’ fine

Who needs a car
 always someone drivin’ you no matter how far
I was Doin’ fine

When I was 21 I was doin’ fine
(….)

Only 21 Don’t miss the fun

Always someone to take care of me
Always someone to pay the bills for me

Don’t want a job
Always time enough to work my but off
Time enough to work my but of
Doin’ fine

Don’t need  a house no way 

no way 			no way 
that means I have to stay on a permanent way
								Only 21 doin’ fine

Don’t need  a house 
no way 
that means I have to stay on a permanent way

the world is my home

Doin' Fine   remastered

Lyrics:

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said

Something was wrong 
this spring was dead 
something was wrong 
this spring was dead 

A sun reflection 
on the dish
no consolation 
in the air
I went out
lost in the park
mile for mile
lost in the dark 

What you said
what you said
don't get sad

Once I figured out
the unwritten truth 
the jugdes gavel 
still didn't fall

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said 
what you said
what you said
don't get sad

You never really asked me
Yyu never really asked me

We lost our glue 
in challenging times
I've no clue 
how to fix the crack

Fullstop

The Crack

Lyrics:

I'm sorry for all the boxes
we have to carry out now
we have to fill with the past
we erase the traces 
and lay new ones 
in far away places
would you like to keep this?
or shall we throw it away 
like we did before

I can't wait 
for the dawn
of the new day

I feel sorry for all the boxes
that are now closed and carried out
driving fast out of this space
No more possiblity
to change our mind
to change and turn around
the road goes steeply down
because all promises no longer
mean anything, mean anything 

If you ask how I'm 
I would say I'm ok
if you ask how I'm 
I would say I'm ok

The Boxes

Lyrics:

Outside our bodys 
on an black surface 
we project an image 
that we fill up with
with every word 
sended away
expecting a future 
that will never occur

I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
yeah, I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar

Outside our bodys 
and far away from 
we create an image 
fragile as glass 
would it be love 
or get lost in the bytes

Yeah, I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
I'm just a profil, a profil
Yyeah, I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
I'm just a profil, a profil
I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
Yeah, I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
Yeah, I'm just a profil
an interchangeable avatar
Yeah, I'm just a profil

a profil, a profil, a profil, a profil, a profil, a profil

An Avatar On A Black Surface

An Avatar On An Black Surface

Lyrics:

Was it all in vain
for what the fight
we go backwards
did it ever happen
a hole in our history
a name erased from the book
authoritarian tempations
the call of the false prophet
the curve to the right 
in the distance the cliffs
do you intend to
to stop the ride

and all I hear and see 
is a repeated denial
is a repeated denial
is a repeated denial
denial, denial, denial

Was it all in vain
for what the fight
we go backwards
did it ever happen
a hole in our history
a name erased from the book
authoritarian tempations
the call of the false prophet
the curve to the right 
in the distance the cliffs
do you intend to
to stop the ride

and all I hear and see 
is a repeated denial
is a repeated denial
is a repeated denial
denial, denial, denial

Denial, Denial

Lyrics: 

Was it you? 
or was it me?
who have stolen 
the flowering tree 
was it you 
or was it me?
who called 
the excavtors?
was it you
or was it me 
who fell for the cheap trick

Slip slop slap seek slide
I think we're ready to hide

it is too simpel much too simpel 
how I let you get away with 
because you because you 
have let the soil dry up
now i can no longer walk
the streets are flooded with water

Slip slop slap seek slide
oh I think we're ready to hide 
ready to hide, ready to hide
oh ready to, ready hide, ready hide

Ready To Hide

Lyrics:

Sure 
I know why don't write any word
I know that we're in an impass 
consisting of distored mirror images

Sure
I know what could have been 
if we followed the river
before it dry out

And I'm not here
to sort you out 
to please you
so you 
can break my heart

One more time I see clear
one more time I see clear
to change certain things

Sure 
I thought we could take pictures
I thought we could visit the path again
and feel the warm wind

Sure 
all predictions were wrong
all words lost in the tunnel
they falled into infinity

And I'm not here
to sort you out 
to please you
so you can
break my heart

A track I created about 8 months ago. I had it posted but then removed it for more editing. Figured it was time to let it see some light...all vocals music and production done by this guy....enjoy...

When you find yourself
When you find yourself sitting alone
When you find yourself
When you find yourself sitting alone
When you tell yourself 
When you tell yourself it'll be okay
When you tell yourself 
When you tell yourself it'll be okay

And you know
And you know

When you find yourself
When you find yourself sitting alone
When you tell yourself 
When you tell yourself it'll be okay

And you know
And you know

And You Know

From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
Do you need some more cash?
A big old stack
Right there in your pants
Look at you, getting more than the next guy
A bigger slice of the pie
Do you like it like that?
Need more cash?
Look at your bad self out on that dance floor
Gucci sunglasses
A Louis Vuitton money belt
Fill your life with beautiful things
It gives you everything you need
But still you say:

I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

You're getting a bigger bite at the apple
MMMM, it's coming soon
All these things, that gives you more
Va-va-voom
(Va-va-voom!)
Costco size it!
You've got more possessions
Then a Pharaoh
In an Egyptian tomb

But still you say:
I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

Need some more cash?
A big stack in your pants?

LYRICS
Keeping calm & feeling our light inside
Like a dust of Star in the Univers Infinite
Feeling Small, Humble but Great & High

Free Style! Free, Free, Free

Free electron,let's be a free electron,,free electron,free free electron

Nothing comes easy, yeah we know
with the sweet of our fronthead we earn what we own
Got to adapt to this world,even if we feel from abroad

Free electron,let's be a free electron,,free electron,free free electron

Societies makes things often complicated & unbalanced
Our way of thinking, of being,Systems try to influence
trying even to control way we dance

Free electron,let's be a free electron,,free electron,free free electron
Let Loose,Let off the pression ,
no more tension, no more oppression
no more stress, no more distress
Ease Up just be ourselves

Don't let problems or people keep you down
See Occasion to overcome, be wise & strong
if you feel you're doing good, carry on

Free electron,let's be a free electron,,free electron,free free electron

Don't get stuck in some bad situation, thoughs or habits
There is full of others possibilities, opportunities
Keep our mind opens, keep learn & discover
than we'll evolve & go further...

Free electron,let's be a free electron,,free electron,free free electron
Let Loose,Let off the pression ,
no more tension, no more oppression
no more stress, no more distress
Ease Up just be ourselves

Keeping calm & feeling our light inside
Like a dust of Star in the Univers Infinite
Feeling Small, Humble but Great & High...

Free electron,let's be a free electron,,free electron,free free electron
in the Univers Infinite
Feeling Small, Humble but Great & High...
Free electron,let's be a free electron,,free electron,free free electron

The music project "Present Paradox" by Dortmund-based David Kleinekottmann provides insights into the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica.
