New album "The Swans" - 12 Valses Melancoliques
The great success of my first series "Valses melancoliques encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor.

Now I am more than happy to announce that the brilliant pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse) from Los Angeles / USA has recorded the whole series! Danaë performs these works in a masterful way, bringing interpretive variety to each waltz such that each piece portrays distinct character, and all are a delight to hear!

This album is available on iTunes, AmazonMP3, Spotify and many other platforms:

Valses Melancholiques II - "The Swans" No 2 - played by Danaë Xanthe Vlasse - new Album on iTunes

Hello you natives of the interwebs! 
Hello and welcome, you are migrating into digital worlds! 
Hello people in the haptic world! 

We are Anonymous!
We support Writers against Surveillance!
Together we stand for democracy in the digital age!

Call of the authors!

In recent months, the extent of mass surveillance has become common knowledge. With a few clicks of the mouse the state can access your mobile device, your e-mail, your social networking and Internet searches. 

It can follow your political leanings and activities and, in partnership with Internet corporations, it collects and stores your data, and thus can predict your consumption and behaviour. 

The basic pillar of democracy is the inviolable integrity of the individual. Human integrity extends beyond the physical body. In their thoughts and in their personal environments and communications, all humans have the right to remain unobserved and unmolested. 

This fundamental human right has been rendered null and void through abuse of technological developments by states and corporations for mass surveillance purposes.

A person under surveillance is no longer free; a society under surveillance is no longer a democracy.

To maintain any validity, our democratic rights must apply in virtual as in real space.

* Surveillance violates the private sphere and compromises freedom of thought and opinion. 

* Mass surveillance treats every citizen as a potential suspect. It overturns one of our historical  triumphs, the presumption of innocence. 

* Surveillance makes the individual transparent, while the state and the corporation operate in secret. As we have seen, this power is being systemically abused.

* Surveillance is theft. This data is not public property: it belongs to us. When it is used to predict our behaviour, we are robbed of something else: the principle of free will crucial to democratic liberty.

WE DEMAND THE RIGHT for all people to determine, as democratic citizens, to what extent their personal data may be legally collected, stored and processed, and by whom; to obtain information on where their data is stored and how it is being used; to obtain the deletion of their data if it has been illegally collected and stored.

WE CALL ON ALL STATES AND CORPORATIONS to respect these rights.

WE CALL ON ALL CITIZENS to stand up and defend these rights.

WE CALL ON THE UNITED NATIONS to acknowledge the central importance of protecting civil rights in the digital age, and to create an International Bill of Digital Rights. 

WE CALL ON GOVERNMENTS to sign and adhere to such a convention.

Nocturne No. 1 - played by Carlos Márquez - NEW 22-track Album on iTunes

enjoy this one-hand-performance - there are relatively little one-hand-piano pieces available, and it is quite a challenge to play them...
This is the 7th track of the Album with elegiac pieces - played by pianist Romeo Wecks (https://soundcloud.com/romeowecks) from Weimar / Berlin / Germany on a "Steingräber & Söhne" grand piano.

The album consists of 2 Preludes for one hand (out of 18 Preludes in the series) and a fine, elegiac  selection of 8 of my 24 Petits Reves bizarres.
Please have a look at my website http://www.beneking.com

Soul

I am but a man,
Under you’re rule.
And those who attended 
you’re Private School
You’re selling arms,
In my name.
If I protest,
I’m locked up again.
We are one,
We are driven, 
We shall not stop
We ‘re unforgiving
How you would behave,
Staring down the barrel 
of the weapons you trade
Seeing you’re child,
As a bloody corpse, 
For an oil well,
gained with no remorse.
We are not gonna,
Watch pop shows in quiet
We have no peace left
Its time to riot.

We are one,
We are driven, 
We shall not stop
We ‘re unforgiving
To burn down this system,
That keeps us down
To destroy the palace 
And rip of you’re crown
To destroy the pain
That you cause. 
to rip the power
From you evil claws.
We are one,
We are driven, 
We shall not stop
We ‘re unforgiving.
We are Anonymous, 
Self Governing, Autonomous,
No crew Synonymous
We’re unforgiving,
But totally willing
To take this fight,
To the end from Beginning,
not allowing the distilling
of the untruth you’re Drilling
into the People of our earth.
Proud parents of freedoms Birth…
You rob working men
to the give to the system,
Like their filthy whore,
then in all your wisdom
you just take for more,
To finance the addiction 
And your bloody war. 
and a teenage conscription.
Give him a weapon 
In promise of college
To Rob Kill and Threaten,
Dead, before an ounce knowledge.
We’ll carry this fight,
We’ll protect the poor
Don’t forget its you 
Who started the war
Robbing the Frail
To fund the strong
We will prevail 
To end this wrong
We are one, We are Anonymous
We’ll fight to the end
Everyone of us.

Lyrics by my brother Robin Hoodz

Dear activists for the protection of privacy, dear people from all over the European Union, dear mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters. Since 2009, the EU has been subsidizing the INDECT project with millions of Euros. Even though several media outlets have already reported about this networked surveillance technology, only few EU citizens know what it is supposed to be. The application of INDECT aims to analyze conspicuous behavior to prevent crimes, in virtual life as well as in real life, before they actually happen. Not only does this sound crazy, it is cutting deeply into our basic right to privacy, because those cameras will be able to replicate scanned personal biometrical features with existing digital files about persons in databases such as social networks. Hence, every person could be retraced and supervised, anybody who says or does anything "abnormal" or anything which the system considers to be "threatening" both on the internet and in real life, is potentially suspicious. We have been accepting the claims of disclosure of our private data for too long in order to prevent acts of terrorism. People started to accept being treated as potential terrorists or criminals, being more and more deprived of their basic rights, and allowing the surveillance society to gain increased control over them. Basic rights weren't given to us as a matter of course, but many generations kept fighting for them. Don't let those rights be taken away from us now! These days, we see the situation in Spain where calls for protests are criminalized by the government. Though the right to protest is an essential part of free speech, we should not tolerate the increasingly upcoming undemocratic features in the EU which mostly hide under the cloak of suppression of terrorism. And therefore we should move NOW and tell the citizens of the European Union about this project, which has been kept as a secret for so many years. We must create a public awareness and get the people on the streets and fight for their rights. It is for these reasons that we ask you to call up all organizations, which campaign for data privacy protection in your country, to join the protest. Create flyers and other media which provide information about INDECT and organize Paperstorms. Translate the message of this video into your mother tongue and spread it! We are Anonymous We are Legion We do not fight for slavery, we fight for liberty In the name of democracy, Let us all unite! Expect us
