The tone colours of ethnic instruments are as richly ornamented and roughly wrought as the famous Chinese special metal craft of filigree enamel. The totemistic carving and inlaying techniques leave a legacy of structural and spatial beauty behind the representations of colours and shapes.  
The beauty of this totemic, orderly and morphologically varied layout also follows the natural logic of proportions in architecture and music. Looking at the ‘shape, pattern, colour and light’ of filigree enamels, and associating them with music, ‘shape’ - the sense of proportion within the structure; ‘pattern’ - the sense of gain of the original vocabulary and its variants; ‘colour’ - the sense of hue presented by different musical parameters; ‘light’ - the sense of space beyond the control of the music's modulation.
The piece attempts to render a mathematical aesthetic of pre-determined layout and an air of meaning with a residual white space by means of a concise musical language.

After a breakup, a boy will take up agronomics and learn to germinate tubers, while a girl will cease to care, and allow the potatoes on her kitchen counter to bud, then rot.

The Dragon's Breath

The song reflects on the emotional toll of waiting, contrasting the perceptions of time. It beautifully intertwines the dual meanings of waiting, both for someone to get ready and for a decision to embrace love.

We reflect on the passage of time, feeling that each moment stretches endlessly as we sit in a familiar place, surrounded by reminders of the absent person.

In the verses, we describe the physical signs of waiting, such as cold coffee or a cooling cup of tea, symbolizing the emotional toll of the wait. We acknowledge the skepticism of others who mock our devotion, but emphasize that those people do not understand the weight of the promises made.

The chorus highlights the disparity in how time is perceived during this wait, with our feeling that even a single glance can extend the night. The bridge questions whether love's slow pace contributes to our anxiety and longing.

Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of unwavering hope and commitment, as we resolve to continue waiting, regardless of whether the other person arrives. The repeated lines in the outro reinforce this steadfastness, emphasizing that we will remain patient, no matter how long it takes.

The song expresses a deep desire for recognition and the struggle for self-identity in the face of societal expectations. 

We reflect on our journey, mentioning how we practiced our signature and dreamt of being seen, despite warnings from our parents about the challenges of fame. 

We embrace our passion for performance, feeling a rhythm within that drive us to break free from constraints, much like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

The chorus emphasizes our "starlight fever," a longing to shine brightly and be acknowledged in a crowded world, comparing our intensity to the boiling point of the sun. We reject being defined by others and refuse to hide our true self, aiming for our brilliance to become our truth.

In the second verse, we acknowledge the opinions of peers who criticize our ambition, but we remain confident and accustomed to the spotlight. The bridges highlight our independence from external validation, finding joy in our own understanding and experiences.

Ultimately, the song conveys a message of resilience and determination.  With us expressing a commitment to leave a lasting impact and be remembered, regardless of the obstacles we face.

With 13 years I got my first home computer, a Commodore 128. Soon I started making electronic music with it's famous SID chip and sound/rock monitor software.

I upgraded to an Amiga 500 and later to Amiga 1200, and was introduced into the 8-bit sampling world. Octalyzer, OctaMed where the most used tools, and a stereo 8-bit sampler module. The results were recorded to a tape recorder and shared among friends.

Then came the Synth and PC period. Bought a GEM Hyperkeyboard (accompainment stuff, with loadable sounds) and later the famous GEM S2 Turbo which is still part of the studio.
Software-wise Open Modplug Tracker was the center of the music production.

Now I'm producing Music and Sample packs using Renoise 3.1, Native Instruments Kontakt 5, Novation Impulse Midi Keyboard and the previously mentioned GEM S2 Turbo, using various VST instruments and effects and a huge library of samples.

i started making music a few months ago, it's actually pretty fun
