Overton window -
open..
again

again
you penetrated my thoughts..

where
is that place without you?

in parallel worlds
we are not familiar

but how to get there?

I remember -

approaching
slowing down the sounds
filling the space

but it was not enough
who are you?

you are
not the one with whom - it worked

you are not ready

now we are going in different directions
and there is no one to blame

there is no future
but I dream..
past....

you are my hallucination!
tell me - and I will believe..
who are you
so sad -
it suits you..

and was it like this before
when - were you..??

and we were moving in different directions
so —
that in the end we collided..

say — don't get into my head..

you don't believe what you're saying —
you're dangerous!

close this window —

no one to blame..

will it hurt -?

- you're the only way
to check it..

and find out..

the one you lied to —
you yourself!

and no one to blame..

окно Овертона -
открыто ..
опять

опять
ты проник в мои мысли ..

где 
то место без тебя?

в параллельных мирах 
мы не знакомы

но как попасть туда?

помню -

приближался 
звуки замедляя
пространство собой
заполнял

но этого окозалось мало
кто ты?

ты 
не тот с кем - получилось

ты не готов

теперь идём в разные стороны 
и нет виновных

будущего — нет
но снится ..
прошлое....

ты моя галлюцинация! 
скажи - и я поверю..
кто ты
такой унылый —
тебе идёт..

а было раньше такое 
когда — ты был..??

и мы стремились в разные стороны
так — 
что в итоге столкнулись..

чтоб сказать — не проникай в мою голову ..

ты не веришь в то что говоришь — 
ты опасен!

закрой то окно —

ведь нет виновных..

будет ли больно -?

- ты единственный способ 
это проверить..

и знай ..

тот кому лгал — 
ты сам!

и нет виновных..

кто

I hope you like it

"Colonial Powers, The Legacy That Never Left The Building"

This title, poised on the cusp of irony and indictment, addresses its subject with the stylish precision of a rapier’s point. It evokes not a dusty treatise, but an invitation—a salon, a stage, a chamber in which the ghosts of history pace the parquet floors still.

First, observe the flourish: “Colonial Powers,” those familiar colossi, are not consigned to the tomb of history but linger on, uncannily present. The subtitle—“The Legacy That Never Left The Building”—is, for the feuilletonist, a masterstroke of sardonic wit. It both plays on the pop idiom (“Elvis has left the building”) and subverts it; here, the ‘star’ of colonialism remains stubbornly present, lingering in the architecture, policy, and psyche of postcolonial spaces.

A featherlight sarcasm hovers above the phrase, the kind that—with a knowing wink—invites the reader into a tacit complicity: of course the legacy never departed; did we ever truly believe otherwise? The construction conjures irony, a chief weapon of the feuilleton, and implies a skepticism learned by long acquaintance with the tricks of history and the repetition of power.

In the grand tradition of feuilleton writing, the title itself is both diagnosis and epigram. It distills a complex and ongoing wound—economic, cultural, and psychological—into a phrase brisk enough for any café table debate, yet sharp enough to lacerate complacency. The cadence, with its comma and deft repetition, creates a rhythm of announcement followed by wry afterthought: here is the topic, here is the verdict, subtle as a raised eyebrow.

Stylistically, it profits from the feuilleton’s hybrid nature: journalistic immediacy (this is happening now, everywhere); literary artistry (the phrase hits with double entendre); societal critique delivered with a velvet touch. It would not be misplaced, one suspects, at the bottom of a Sunday paper’s cultural page—nestled among witty rebukes, conversations with old Europe, portraits of vanished grandeur, and exposes of lingering injustice.

In sum: the title stands as a crisp, satirical banner—lucid, layered, and perfectly feuilleton. It raises its subject not with ponderous solemnity, but with the bracing, intimate skepticism that is the feuilleton’s signature. On guard, indeed: the building is filled with echoes, and this title leaves no doubt that someone—or something—has stayed behind.

Plaintext and ready for instant release, Captain!

BEEN SO LONG
I like people
From a distance
I like people
From afar
I like people 
Who are real
People
I can tell ‘em how I feel

CHORUS
And it’s been so long
I’ve been without
I wonder what people
Talk about
Yeah, it’s been so long
I’ve been without
Been so long
Leaves little doubt

I like people
Kind after kind
Adam and Eve
Of one mind
There’s one tribe
I don’t care for
The tribe MAGA-Christians
Worship and adore

Oh, it’s been so long
I’ve been without
I wonder what people
Talk about
It’s been so long
I’ve been without
Been so long
Leaves little doubt

Oooooh-oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-oooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-oooooh-oooooh

I like people
From a distance
I like people
From afar
I like people 
Who are real
People
Tell me just how they feel, awh ‘cuz

It’s been so long
I’ve been without
I wonder what it is people
Talk about
Yeah, it’s been so long
I’ve been without
Been so long
Leaves little doubt

This poem is to honour a really cool compare by this fabulous  artist:
Check out Plague Clock on #SoundCloud

Thanks so much 🙌🏽🎶

The Comus Clock

Comus the plaque
Trophy like clock
We're taking it back
Music shared like it was
Human to human
Ear for ear
Nostalgia be proving
No future to fear

Fabulous folk
Impressionist norm
New from the old
Falsetto of sun
If one cell of me
Creates notes like this
Kids be happy
This future holds bliss

We've read the old real
We think we agree
Let's learn this old field
Not burned with money
Diana holds dream
He knows panic signed
That Malgaard Suite
Greatest raw new defined

True to their new
More out there then Morrison
Old become new
Good musical origin
Tribal
Aural tantric
True to their clue
An honour compare
Let's bring it to brew

My eldest son grew up playing keyboards, to cut a long story short, I used to borrow his keyboards at times and using the auto rhythms/bass used to knock out a tune with one finger. Well, I did play guitar so I suppose I did use more fingers but always one after the other. I quite enjoyed the sessions and recorded the outcomes on reel to reel tape  or later on cassettes. I have posted a playlist/album of these disasters on Soundcloud, just for complete journaling of my musical journeys...

The recent covers I have been doing of my early songs and recordings set me thinking... I decided to see what Suno could do with these instrumentals and this is the first - and possibly the last experiment. But I was pleasantly surprised again.

EXSTATIX

Screaming darkness

Malfunction


I've been feeling a little under the weather for the past few days.
Maybe I'm tired, or maybe it's too hot.

There's no need to worry about it.
I don't want to cause any trouble for you.

This machine has been malfunctioning since last night.
The parts needed to repair it are no longer available.

Due to the intense sunlight, there are few people on the streets.
Outside the window lies a world in ruins.

I'm not thinking anything strange.
I'm just feeling a little fed up.

This machine has been malfunctioning since last night.
You were the only one who could repair it.

I just feel a little tired and have a slight fever.
I've already taken some aspirin, so I'll be fine.

It's not because you're not here.
I'm just feeling a little down, that's all.

This machine has been malfunctioning since last night.
The parts needed to repair it are no longer available.


Malfunction

Ghorppo Presents — The Silken Harmony, Vol. 1 is a lovingly produced collection of songs created for the persona The Silken Harmony. Drawing deep from the Motown vault — think the velvet ballads of The Manhattans and the irresistible drive of The Four Tops — this EP marries classic soul arrangements with modern production sensibilities. Expect tight, three- and four-part vocal harmonies, punchy pocket drums, warm analog-style bass, brass flourishes and silky string pads that sit perfectly between nostalgia and fresh listening.

Each track was composed and arranged with an ear for emotional storytelling: little domestic dramas, late-night confessions, and rooftop promises delivered through concise, singable hooks and lush, cinematic textures. Whether you’re cueing it for a late-night set, adding to a retro-soul playlist, or scouting production ideas for vocal group projects, The Silken Harmony is crafted to feel like a rediscovered gem from another era — but written for today.
