A Guess

lament for the famous lost tree of the sycamore gap

sycamore tree

You send me the hope of a warm summer breeze.
Start up the war, so I sail out to sea.
Why are we fighting now?
Haven't we learnt there's nowt to be won.

I have no hope for your democracy.
It's mirrors and smoke, and we're fools to believe.
Why they let us run free.
But leave us no scope to move on.

Revolution died on the vine.
And your rat race will never be mine.
All the scales in your favour.
We fought.
Who's it for?
Who's it for? 

Ah bless you, all proud of your democracy.
You hold it above you for us all to see.
Will its gold trickle down?
To our bellies.
You're all back to front.

You raise up the prices, you double the bills.
Worship the money, go in for the kill.
Who are we fighting for?
It certainly isn't ourselves 

Revolution died on the vine.
And your system refuses to shine.
All the cards marked against us.
We fought.
Who's it for?
Who's it for?

Revolution is done.
Haven't we earnt the right to move on?  

The generation that was all ecstasy.
Be off with your Nigel's, and idiocy.
Your white van policies.
You're just bitter old men. 
You are gone.

Oh, haven't you realised that you're getting old?
Haven't you earnt from the prizes they sold?
Didn't you learn to share?
Didn't you learn to care for your soul?

Revolution died on the vine.
What is yours now can never be mine.
All the traps that we fell through are caught.
Who's it for?
Who's it for?

legenden

denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben.
denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben.

ist es wie eine party,
 wenn wir uns wiedersehen ?
oder wird es mehr weil wir uns gut verstehen?
oder weniger, weil  draussen mit uns so viel passiert?
oder ist es einfach gut, wie es jetzt funktioniert?

wir brauchen geld, gegen die welt.
denn das was zählt, ist nicht das was gefällt, 
mittendrin gibt es sonne, sonne  oder regen, 
zischt es durch trifft es alle, jede  oder jeden.
geht die reise weiter, dann nicht die gleiche leiter. 
denn für das death valley gibt es keine reisebegleiter
jetzt ist  klar, ich glaub du weisst noch wie es war, 
in dieser geisterbahn auf eigene gefahr.

denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben,
müssen sie selber bleiben,
sie müssen sich entscheiden, 
müssen sich entscheiden.
ah hahaaa

denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben,
sie müssen sie selber bleiben,
sie müssen sich entscheiden, 
müssen sich entscheiden.
ah hahaaa

denn legenden können nicht sich selber schreiben,
müssen sie selber bleiben,
 müssen sich entscheiden, 
müssen sich entscheiden.
ah hahaaa

Struggling to get over someone? Sidethrow Hustle is a song I wrote that highlights my experience struggling to move on. Saying goodbye is very hard.

"Fluidity" is a slow immersion into a fluid, cinematic soundscape. Blending ambient, experimental electronica, and textured sound design, each minute invites you to drift deeper.

No rigid beats, no imposed rhythm — just evolving pads, ethereal glitches, and a continuous sense of weightless motion. It’s musical breathing, a moment suspended in space.

💡 Perfect for creating, meditating, or traveling deep within.
🎧 Best experienced on headphones to capture the full subtlety of the mix.

Dream a Little Dream of Me

It was like in the spy action movie. You find yourself in the middle of atomic bunker of communist era with mission to find the secret document and escape before time’s up and guardians catch you.

It was about 2 years back. We made our first escape game in the heart of Prague. And yes, we did it!!!
