Reptilian Terminals

2020-06-09

This is a song about a dehumanized human being inserting code strings on the terminal console of his computer, and convincing himself of being somehow almighty or immortal, thanks to the privileged relationship he thinks he has established with the processor. But his computer's crude response is that he's just a freaking out mortal creature...

LYRICS:

[Computer:] lns/dev/dsp/lsd/
[Dehumanized human:] I really won’t surrender… I’m gonna live much longer
[Computer:] I got your words misplaced… I ain’t no friendly interface
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please save us all
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – pacmd; load module; remap sink; sink name equal mono
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna live forever… C’mon babe, let’s have a drink together
[Computer:] Your mind is really messed up, I’m gonna have a drink from your cup
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please hear my call
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – cat/proc/bus/user/usb U.S.A.
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna mock the devil, increase the fighting level
[Computer:] Your code is certainly wrong, so I believe your time ain’t long
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, I guess I’m losing control

Into your Horizon

chete' knife!

from the whirlwind

The basic tracks for some of these songs were scattered through other music I had recorded over the last ten years.  Quarantine has given me the time to hear some of this music with fresh ears. In most instances dozens of instrument tracks were stripped away to find some forgotten core that made me nod or smile.  Then I started again.  All new recording has been done since the start of lock down and tries to put a sound on the subtle dislocation of a global disaster that is mostly (for me) expressed in my daily life as an absence, a taking away rather than a presence; a distantly felt thing.  

All tracks recorded and mixed at Shadowbear Studio.  Mastering at Black Knoll Studio.  Photo taken by Csilla Varadi.

"when the roots of a nation are founded on slavery and genocide but insists on presenting itself through the mythologies of equality and freedom, systemic violence will continue to be the status quo rather then the exception"

also a line from a piece by Fauzia Rafique @uddari https://gandholi.wordpress.com/2020/02/21/not-from-the-elite-but-from-the-street/
"Not from the Elite but from the Street"

PEACEFUL PROTEST
------------------------------
Not one more, not one more, jailed, not one more, missing


when the roots of a nation are founded on slavery and genocide but insists on presenting itself through the mythologies of equality and freedom

hear the sound, hear the sound

NO MORE MISSING, NO MORE JAILED, NO MORE MURDERED 

when we associate, fires burn, laws are overturned, justice is actually served
not by the elite but by the street

Peaceful Protest with THEE 5TH BRAIN CITADEL & Myrh
