All my life I been, 
out here, 
at the mercy of weather 

In this wilderness, 
with just a kiss, 
that would kill for the harbour 

I have notched my mast, 
‘til it lays broken, 
but who’ll have the last laugh, who’ll have the last laugh... 

I am the Rolling Thunder, I am the Bitter Wind 
I am the Rolling Thunder, but in the end 
Only I win 

Oh my mind it swims, 
I am drunk, 
on the sea salt water 

Many nights have passed, 
in this silence, 
that drips through the hourglass, drips through the hourglass... 

I am the Rolling Thunder, I am the Bitter Wind 
I am the Rolling Thunder, but in the end 
Only I win

Tod.
Ich dachte
es heisst Abschied nehmen.
Oder das Finden von Metamorphosen,
Möglichkeiten und Varianten
In diesem Lichtschacht,
Balkone stockwerkehoch,
Kinderlaute, Frühjahrszucken,
Ein Tisch, ein Wiedersehen.
Freude und zwanzigmaliges Lächeln
wie ich es lange nicht sah.
Es ist, es war, es ist, es war

Traum.
Dann wacht man auf
bemerkt den Lichtschacht,
vermerkt: “gib acht,
du lässt wieder etwas sterben”
bleibt der Tunnel, und an dessen Ende

Nichts.
Laken wieder seitlich werfen,
Kissenberge, Bettkantenhoch.
Katzenschnurren, Dachfensterschimmer.
Kein Lächeln noch ein Wiedersehen.
Erkenntnis, zweihundertfaches: Ach was soll’s
du bist dreimal gegangen, nur manchesmal halb hergekommen.
So an als wärst Du gestorben:
Es fühlt sich, es fühlte, es fühlt sich, es fühlte, es fühlt sich immer
Du Geist.
such mich heim, schreib nur klein.
ich kenn Dich da warst Du wärmer.
In dieser Kälte fällt das Trauern leicht:
Du lebst und doch verendet alles langsam
wie ein Grab, es lebt in mir. Es zwingt zur Pflege, es
will das Wasser und die Blumen, es will Gedenken es kriegt
manchmal drei - okay nein dreihundert Tränen.
Die Träume behalte ich, sie sind echter als
Dein Tod.
Leb wohl. Oder nicht.
Dich liebe ich, Dich lieb’ ich nicht, Dich liebe ich, Dich lieb’ ich nicht
Reise.
Deutschland, echt, wird mir zu eng.
Überall nur Gräber, überall dein neuer Schein
Auf die Insel komm ich nicht, die Stadt sie ist für drei zu klein.
Rucksäcke find ich gut, man hebt sie auf,
man legt sie später ab.
Schlafsäcke find ich gut, man legt sich rein,
will gewärmt nie wieder raus.
Einen Kontinent, den nehm ich mir!
Stadt und Insel genügt mir nicht, Winterkind.
Wie Feuer, unter meiner Reise sturmverbrannt,
indische Erde, unberührt von Dir.
Einen ganzen Kontinent nehm ich mir,
und heb’ ganz neue Gräber aus.

Leb wohl. Oder nicht.

(aufgenommen von C. Bethge, Rama Tonstudio, Mannheim)

LYRICS:
I was shaking hands with the face of death in the Amazon
I was in a trance tryna catch my breath but I couldn't run
When it came around I was on the ground, blood in my mouth 
And I realized the whole damn time I've been missing out

Oh we never gonna go back to the way it was
Oh and we're never gonna go back to the way we was
Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us
Cause oh it's never gonna go back to the way it was

Did you get your fill? Have you seen it all? Have you had enough? 
It's a jagged pill you been choking on, you gotta cough it up
Ain't it fine to forget your mind when you ride the wave
Summertime is only one more breath away, just one more breath away

Oh we never gonna go back to the way it was
Oh and we're never gonna go back to the way we was
Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us
Cause oh it's never gonna go back to the way it was

I don't need to know what we're heading for
Babe, I'm not looking back
Listen to your feet on the wooden floor
Don't need nothing else but that
You know you don't have to take your past mistakes into the dawn
So drop off your bags, don't break your back, we're gonna keep moving on 

The Way It Was

A little something that I made for Isaac Arthur who makes very informative videos about the realities of space exploration. If you're into science or science fiction, I highly recommend checking him out:

The idea behind this piece was that of Kardashev scale, which is about the size of spacefaring empires. From little type zeroes like us, to type threes and beyond who have at their disposal the sum total of the energy output of  entire galaxies.

So, how does one illustrate slow climb over billions of years towards almost unimaginable amounts of power, to a point when a star is quite literally a snack for you? Well, I tried. Yes, it does get a bit crazy towards the end.

Ad Astra

Love Letter to Science

Lights of Tomorrow

The debut EP 'sip', written and produced by Philadephia-based artist che, is a four-part odyssey filled with effervescent emotional synth work and propulsive rhythmic experimentation. 

With a sensibility for concrète-style sampling and analog sound sculpting techniques, che manipulates recordings of acoustic instruments and synthesizers, traversing melodic ambient and kinetic waves imprinted with unpredictable beat formulas. A multilayered study in organic groove sound melding. 

Despite the suggestion of its name, 'sip' plays more like a mini-album than an EP, with narratives internal to each song passing through irreplicable evolutionary phases. The result is breathtaking, less cinematic than cartographic or even animatronic. This is che the storyteller, che the colorist, che the creator. 

A lifelong multi-instrumentalist, che has lived long periods of his life in Ireland and the Bay Area before moving to Philadelphia, his current home. Influenced by his natural and urban environments, his father’s Guatemalan family tradition of composers and professional musicians, and his mother’s Native American culture, che builds with old, new, and future musical languages informed by a heritage of jazz, latin and classical. The result is lush, layered, and likely to surprise. 

All proceeds from this release will be donated to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
