Feels like raw and molten sound. Like August in the city.

Cross the Brocéliande forest before sunset!! keep your faithful steed in step, and above all... do not let yourself be attracted by the voices of the knights of the round table, of the fairies Morgane and Viviane... but the spirit of Merlin the enchanter will watch over you, keep the path in mind and wait for the chime to ring, you will have defeated the spells.......

BROCELIANDE FOREST  (Ode to Brittany)

Sometimes The Heart Is All We Need

Morgen, Kinder, wird's was geben (Trad. Weihnachtslied, trad. Christmas Song)

Black Dark Humor is a sad poem about the routine of life in a big city like São Paulo. A difficult day in the life of an ordinary Paulistano, facing work and dealing with the chaos of the city. A day when the earth stood still.

Black Dark Humor
Close the door, turn off the light;
The dream has just begun...
Another blinding day of heat,
And burning flames...
Last month hasn’t ended yet;
Time is just a shadow...
Through these hazy days, I agonize,
Then beg for mercy...

Have some pity on me;
I’m both devout and crude.
Sentenced to twenty years
In the penitentiary of boredom...
Now and then I try, at last,
To sigh without a thought...
To drown my feelings deep inside,
Then take off and fly.

It’s six o’clock, the morning’s here,
Yet the rooster never crows...
But my stern, responsible self
Shakes me up to rise again.
The bell tolls, I hide the sky,
A sky that bears no light...
The world still turns, yet somehow,
It stopped spinning for me...

Black Dark Humor (Negro Humor Negro)

Reworked version of "Glitchout", 

lyrics:

Were you someone, I have to be asking
grew up serene, away from the struggle
and strife now presented that never did touch you
but words of deception that make you believe
that the world was on fire, injustice abound
right at your doorstep to take all your freedom?
but just close your eyes, there was never a real threat
other than the ones of split tongues and venom!

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

tell me again who you were once ago
when the future was open and dreams were allowed
think of exactly who told you the difference
between cats and dogs and the hits that were misses?

the tales that were spun on a landfill of gaps:
all cognitive bias we need to unlearn!
projection, reflections, deflections, the point is
we all want our freedom and peace with the world

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

Glitchout (wokey wokey version)

When i made this track I wanted my voice be the driving, pulsing force.

I hope you enjoy.

Wait and see

Initially I thought of "love is the perfect excuse for hatred", but that implies the agent's malice. I believe it's not always the case. We can simply let ourselves be driven by some cognitive biases and ancient basic instincts - hence the title. I finally opted for "love is the perfect ground for hatred". Indeed, we can often justify our hatred to others by declaring them a threat to something we love - from our way of living to cats and dogs...

** Reptilian Brain **

They cared for their children. 
They loved their female companions.
For that love,
they would risk their lives chasing the huge mammoths.
When mammoths became scarce, they soon faced starvation.
Competition from other caverns put at risk their survival.
To save their loved ones, they were bound to kill the others.
But killing others of their own species required more than hunger.
It required enmity.
And so they went to war, 
singing primitive versions of La Marseillaise:
"They're not like us!
Let's save our beloved cavern,
and let their impure blood water our fields!"
Damn!…
It's hard to think celestial while carrying a reptilian brain...
For some dark cognitive reason,
love is the perfect ground for hatred.

Le ballon rouge (instrumental version)

It's a song about those moments when the world amazes me- when the beauty and mystery of the world around me knocks me over.
Specifically, wandering back from the Old Town in Hastings after a couple of drinks on a lovely Summer night. The picture is one of my lino prints and shows Tackleway in Hastings, along with one of the badgers we see all the time round here, and are mentioned in the song.
