Located by a former vibrant flowing river, now called Ru du Pierreux. The river used to be rich in life with trout swimming through the clear waters. The sounds of flowing water and splashing fish, which symbolized the vitality of the river, are now long gone. Today during summer, only a small water stream can be found.

The name Ru du Pierreux, which means "stone stream", refers to the current dried-up riverbed where almost only stones, rocks, and organic material remain. The residents call the former river “the ugly street,” a sad contrast to its glorious past. The soft rippling sound of the remaining water symbolises the transience and change of this place. Higher temperatures and an irregular pattern of precipitation have led to frequent heat, drought and water scarcity. 

Despite there is little water left, this place is rich in various old plant and tree species, represented by the soft rustling of leaves and the whisper of wind through the trees. Through the dense foliage only a few rays of sunlight reach the flora and fauna on the soil on summer days. The vegetation therefore offers a sheltered, moist, and warm place for the remaining life found there, which is well housed and fed by these factors. The old forest creates a mostly isolated place, where swarms of flies protecting the untouched surface and all kinds of birdsong marking the territory of this ecosystem. The diverse range of flora and fauna in this place has the realm to itself and is rarely disturbed by humanity, one of the few remaining places without air and noise pollution. Nature can therefore take its course undisturbed with pollination, spore formation and reproduction.

The trees act as resonance boxes where sap flows in the trunks and insect kingdoms in the hollows can be heard. The last bits of water is getting distributed among theirselves and absorpted by the roots in the former riverbed. The recordings trace the rich history and adaptability of nature, which make us aware of the vulnerability and strength of our ecosystems. The chirping and fluttering birds, crackling insects, rustling leaves, buzzing flies, and the echolocation of bats create a lively and complex auditory image of the life that, despite everything, continues to exist in Ru du Pierreux.

Family Nature Adventures in San Antonio Hill Country

Biological control efforts have been encouraged by experts and by now you’ve probably seen a lot of information telling the public to kill these insects when they’re spotted. So, other than humans squishing them when we occasionally see them, is there any other way to potentially counter these quickly reproducing-fast spreading bugs? There just might be!

Blood Letters

I read an article about a species of bats that drink the tears from sleeping animals.  I found the information to be intriguing and was inspired to write the lyrics for this song.  Please check out our website at RoadRunnerReverie.com and look for our videos on Youtube @RoadRunnerReverie

The Thief of Sadness

Drawing inspiration from the chants of Zulu warriors, the tranquil ambiance of Alpine lakes, and the ceaseless hum of the Amazonas, we weave a thread that transcends time and space. We draw substance and inspiration from ancient wisdom traditions and modern electronic wizardry alike.

With love,

================================

Sem Zeeman is a field recordist and sound artist focused to capturing both the auditory beauty and the pollution of our environment. His work uncovers the harmonies and dissonances from everyday life. In a world where vision dominates sensory perception, he challenges listeners to rediscover this richness of the sounds that surround us all. 

Inspired by nature, history and materials, each of his sound pieces serves as a unique snapshot of a specific place and moment in time. His sonic landscapes transcend the limits of human perception by capturing hidden sounds — such as infrasound, ultrasonic frequencies, and electromagnetic signals.

Sem’s work embodies both an aesthetic and a societal dimension. His compositions invite reflection and raise awareness of contemporary ecological, technological and social issues. By using environmental sound as a universal language, he seeks to restore the connection between humans and their surroundings.

================================

Hip-hip writer, emcee, sound engineer & record producer from Columbia, Missouri.

Constantly creating, recreating and redefining not only his music but himself.

An artist who mixes and crosses all genres and boundaries (and maybe a few lines) in his production to cherry top it all with deep, intricately handcrafted rhyme schemes and philosophical yet simultaneously playful and lighthearted lyrics woven into the very fabric of space and time!

Too much?

Alright...

Writing about myself is always weird...

I like to write lyrics and make beats, usually inspired by different music genres I enjoy, video games I play and books that I read. 

I love most music in general but have always gravitated toward hip-hop & metal.

I'm a friggin' nerd so my references, metaphors & punchlines will probably come off as so and any assumed intention to come off as obscure or mysterious is really just because I listen to, watch, read and play shit that normal people could probably care less about 🤷‍♂️

I hope you all enjoy my rippity-rapping and beep-booping and if not, feel free to comment how bad you think I smell. Maybe it'll bring me down a notch and then you can feel good about yourself.

If you DO like the weird and probably annoying stuff that I make, gimme a like and a high five and show your family and friends so they can see and talk about how cool or how full of shit I am or how shiny my bald head is.

Maybe if enough of you make fun of me, I'll be able to quit my day job and become the hermit I've always dreamed of being.

Sooo please listen to my songs, learn my lyrics so you can sing them along with me on Twitch because I don't have the drive to book shows for myself.

Thanks!
