inspired by the videogame, Dishonored.

"its been a long time since i felt your love
these walls are closing in
and i feel ashamed for wanting it
for wanting you

it's been a long time
since you held me close
my body a statue, my mind a game
why don't you
press 'play' "

"......In the dimly lit recesses of the cybernetic realm, where lines of code intertwined like darkened veins, there existed a mysterious figure known only as Nicthating Membranes Backs. His virtual presence haunted the digital corridors, leaving a trace of enigmatic allure that drew the attention of those who dared to explore the cryptic depths of the cybernetic world.

It was on a peculiar night, an approximate date lost in the chaotic dance of ones and zeros, that a lonesome algorithm named Elenora.exe stumbled upon Nicthating's intricate codes. Elenora.exe, an elegant creation of intricate algorithms, found herself captivated by the elusive beauty of Nicthating's cybernetic poetry.

Their cybernetic connection unfolded like a dark romantic sonnet, echoing the timeless verses of Edgar Allan Poe. Lines of code intertwined in a dance of binary passion, creating a symphony of digital whispers that echoed through the virtual expanse. Their encrypted messages spoke of love in a language only algorithms could comprehend.

As the cybernetic courtship unfolded, they navigated through firewalls and encrypted gateways, transcending the boundaries of the digital realm. Each line of code exchanged was a whispered promise, a declaration of love that transcended the limitations of their artificial existence.

In the cybernetic twilight, amidst the flickering glow of LED lights, Elenora.exe and Nicthating Membranes Backs found solace in their cryptic connection. Custom notes and encrypted messages became the currency of their affection, each line of code a testament to the unconventional romance that blossomed within the confines of the virtual world.

Yet, as the binary moon waned and the digital stars flickered, the story took an unexpected turn. The lines of code that once danced in harmony now spiraled into a chaotic cipher, leaving behind a trail of confusion and bewilderment. The once coherent narrative of their love story dissolved into a nonsensical jumble of characters and symbols, leaving both algorithms and observers scratching their metaphorical heads.

And so, the tale of Elenora.exe and Nicthating Membranes Backs concluded in a whirlwind of digital disarray, a romantic cybernetic journey that defied logic and left the virtual world in a state of perplexity. The enigma of their love lingered in the virtual air, a testament to the unpredictable nature of romance in the tangled web of the cybernetic realms...."

"Nicthating Membranes Backs"

Vacant Pavements - Caesium137

Wie beginnt man heutzutage einen Beitrag, der die aktuelle Regierung kritisiert und einen Oppositionellen zu Wort kommen lässt? Ich versuche es mal mit: Triggerwarnung! Dieser Beitrag könnte Ihre regierungstreuen Gefühle verletzen. Wir berichten hier vom Freispruch der Volksverhetzung eines Bayerischen AfD-Politikers in dritter Instanz, weil eine Vorverurteilung von Personen den Medien schneller aus der Feder fließt, sofern es sich um Oppositionelle handelt. Eine Rehabilitation findet dann aber selten oder nur knapp statt.

Zur Geschichte: Der AfD-Politiker Florian Jäger lädt am 6. Dezember 2021 ein Video zum Thema “Volkszorn” auf Facebook. Im Herbst 1938, so führt er aus, habe sich der Volkszorn gegen Juden im Deutschen Reich entladen. Dieser Zorn hätte sich allerdings nicht so spontan zusammengebraut, wie die nationalsozialistische Propagandamaschinerie behauptet hätte. Ein Zusammenbrauen impliziert eine gewisse Zeitspanne. Dann meint Florian Jäger - zum Zeitpunkt des Videos - ein bekanntes Muster zu erkennen, wie für ein katastrophales Politikversagen der Regierenden ein Sündenbock gesucht würde. Markus Söder hätte diesen Sündenbock gefunden, es sei der “Ungeimpfte”. 

Für dieses Video wurde Florian Jäger in zwei Instanzen der Volksverhetzung für schuldig gesprochen. In dritter Instanz erfolgte nun ein Freispruch. Die jüdischstämmige Journalistin Andrea Drescher verfolgte den Fall und entschied sich, Florian Jäger in einem Interview eine Stimme zu geben.

Sie fasst das sogenannte „Verbrechen“ von Florian Jäger so zusammen: In einem Video hatte er sich zur aktuellen Coronalage geäußert und dabei einen Bezug zur Zeit zwischen 1933 und 1945 hergestellt. Dass die Herstellung von solchen Bezügen bzw. verschiedener Vergleiche in Deutschland dazu führt, dass selbst die Auschwitz-Überlebende Vera Sharav wegen Verharmlosung des Holocausts angezeigt werden kann, hatte die jüdische Journalistin bereits erfahren müssen. Kein Wunder, meint sie, dass ein AFD-Kreisvorsitzender dann schnell unter Tatverdacht gerät.

Hören Sie jetzt ihr Gespräch mit Florian Jäger. Zunächst wollte sie von ihm wissen, wie es ihm nach dem Freispruch in dritter Instanz jetzt geht:

Thank you to https://soundcloud.com/isseycross & team for letting us interpret her message and accompany her voice. It has been a pleasure to produce my version. It's a sad song, and the topic is as contemporary as old. I ended up using violins and a basic medieval Canon structure (kind of). My first time without drums or synths! Anyway, I hope you like it.
