I was a street musician for a couple of years, longer ago than I care to specify ;) As a busker, playing hide-and-seek with the Law was part of the game. And when you got busted…

Game For Dimes

Mr Jones - Prelude

Synopsis: Mr Jones is hired to find Nikolai Petrov

Script:
My name is Richard Jones
I was hired 6 weeks ago to find a missing person
After an extensive investigation, I finally have a lead
That brings me to this airport and a ticket to the capital of Siberia

The missing person is Nikolai Petrov the son of a Russian diplomat based in London. He’s been missing for three months. All leads were cold but then I received an anonymous call informing me he had been spotted two months previously in Siberia.

Was I on a wild goose chase?
Was Nikolai really in Siberia?
And if so, why?

Love Is AI

Lyrics:
Love is everything
Love is control
Love is money
Love is the air you breathe
Love sustains you
Love is your meaning
Love is your life
Love is AI
Love is AI
Love is AI
Love is AI
Love is AI

Synopsis:
This track started off as an addition to the Mr Jones series, however after a change of heart I decided to make it a track in its own right. The basic concept is the eventual take over of AI and what this means to us all. The guitars are fake of course, simple synth tones run through distortion pedals - this is my best interpretation of what playing the guitar is actually like, having never even picked one up (although I'm tempted to try the bass guitar). This track was recorded in FL Studio using mostly stock plug-ins. Hope you like it. If you have time to comment, that means more than anything. Thanks for listening.

Samples are from the free text to speech website: https://ttsmp3.com/

Somewhere far away, where life in these parts was itself hard and dangerous,
as the sun rose, seventeen children from different families played a game called Galdur'ka.
Even though it was called a children's game, it didn't make it any less dangerous.
The game was something like hide-and-seek, but there were some features.
In the game could participate children of both sexes.
The children were divided into two groups of 8 and one princess. Some presented themselves as galdurs and others as warriors with swords. The galdurs used their dark magic to hide the princess and take away her voice. There were ten hiding locations and everyone knew about them. The galdurs could hide the princess in 5 locations and also move the princess (1 location per day).

The princess in turn had to give a total of 10 clues to the warriors (2 clues per location), and predict
where she would be taken the next day. Galdurs also came up with the other 5 clues leading to false paths (1 false clue to 1 location).
And if the warriors could not decipher the princess clues, and went on a false path, then they either lost a warrior (during the battle), or one of the warriors went to the side of the magicians because of the dark magic.

In addition to real fights among mages and warriors, a princess could be injured to varying degrees, or just get sick. This is how the children of one of the Scandinavian peoples tested the strength of each participant in this game.

Schizophrenia

Lyrics:
Can you hear what they say?
Voices that haunt me
They all hate me today

And they won't go away
Am I just crazy?
Is it true what they say?

All the games that they play
Just to confuse me
And the things that they say

Then my thoughts slip away
I'm floating on air 
Can you meet me halfway?
Why are they lying to me?

I'm not sure where we are
I'm not sure who I am
I'm not sure any more
What's all of this for?
Have we been here before?
Why are you lying to me?

And now I feel so free
We're here together, you see
No-one to question my mind
No need for reasons to find
