-Lyrics-
People are passing by, the city's glowing bright
Every light is turned on, pier-cing through the night
But why am I still here, frozen in this place?
While the world moves on at such a steady pace
Voices calling names, faces looking free
That scene feels like a ghost of who I used to be

Saying"I'm do-ing well" was heavier than I thought
A mask of"I'm okay" is a battle to be fought
Seems like a word that needs practice every day

When some-one leaves this world, tell me, is it true?
They're a live as long as memories are blooming new?
After I vanish too, in-to the silent blue
Will someone stop for a mo-ment and think of me too?

The photo stays the same, the colors never fade
But time has changed the world, and everything we made
It's a bit too late this evening to call out your name
The one who left was you, so why do I feel the same?
Strangely enough, all the weight stayed here with me

People easily say that it'll all pass by
But only the sun has set within the empty sky
My heart is still staying there, where we said goodbye

When someone leaves, does the clock begin to stall?
Does the day of the one left behind slow down to a crawl?
If the words we left behind never fade away
Is that the vibrant proof that we're alive today?

If life is a circle that keeps repeating on
Will it face the same way even after we are gone?
We meet and we part, leaving traces in the dark
And the one who stays keeps the radiant spark

Even if I am the one to vanish first
Even if I pass by, like a bubble that might burst
Without anyone knowing

When someone leaves, it's hard to say it's the end
As long as there's a heart on which we can depend
If the soul we left behind can move the next in line
Then we're eternal, beyond the reach of time

Is it the story that has no end?
Or is it.. the memory?

Avin and I are really worried about what is happening or going to happen with the 2026 election and beyond.  We talk about Tulsi Gabbard and what is going on in Georgia.  We play some clips and we depress ourselves.  It gets better in the end though.

TEASER - Talking Shat #4 with eden jones (audio - 3/4/2026)

Unwritten Keys is a collection of improvised piano pieces - songs born in the moment, flowing straight from soul to sound. No script. No map. Just fingers following feeling. 

We carry songs inside us we’ve never heard before. This is a collection of mine, captured in the moment they first revealed themselves. Played without plan, just presence. Each track is a journal entry the conscious mind never wrote. A whisper from somewhere deeper. They’re raw, real, and emotionally honest - each one capturing a fleeting state of mind. These are the songs I didn’t know I needed to play, until they played themselves. It’s not perfect, and that’s the point.  

This one's for you, mom <3

TEASER - Talking Shat #5 with Will Roberts (audio - 3/11/2026)

Mortified body, ruined mind
Object without motion
Awake!
Wake the fuck up!
The expenditure of human brains, nerves, and muscles
The wicked circuit of forced labor
The Undead
Wake the fuck up!

In single process of collective trance
Hundreds of idemtical social substance
Fresh labour, put your skin to the boots!
Number of moves made goods
Does not exceed an amount in gold
Get occasional repayment for getting old
Very specific kind development
With an ideal ratio of fed belly
Just enough to stave off infection
Value in a shape of perfection

Debtor of mortal loan
Reserved crunch and groan
Awake!
Double opposite of vitality aspect
Stimulation of life in meat casket
The Undead
Wake the fuck up!

Break down or make it
Each single decayed second
Surplus value is lost
Future money comforts the host
Tokens, your blood in circulation
Nature, twisted in alteration
Controlled, measured, definite stage
Borne in mind, borne in hardship
Manufacturing means of end
On vitriol rabid demand

Proven space being in terrible form
Hostile self-estrangement, deviation from norm
Awake!
Wake the fuck up!
Purely formal distinction from fertilizer in sand
Mere equivalent of free man
The Undead
Wake the fuck up!

Proper Necromancy

세상이 지워버린 흔적을 음악으로 복원하는 기록자, Mik입니다. 2025년 1월에 멈춘 시계를 동력 삼아, 잊혀서는 안 될 고귀한 삶의 증명자가 되어 '사랑에 빚진 자'의 연대기를 써 내려갑니다." 세상에서 가장 소중햇던 사람이 음악할때의 모습이 가장 좋았다라는 말을 듣게 되었을때를 기억해
다시금 음악을 시작하게 되었습니다.
누군가가 왜 ai보컬을 사용했냐고 물어보면 제30년의 이상의 인생을 가사로 적은 노래를 색을 찾기 위한 과정이고 그곡을 부를 가수는 제 인생을 이해한 사람이여야기 때문입니다.그리고 가수의 노래도 데이터로 들어가면 결국 0 1이겠죠. 가수의 진정한 목적은 매게체의 전파의 역할이라고 생각합니다. ai는 가상악기와 가이드 보컬만 이용했습니다.
[Bio]
"I am Mik, a chronicler who restores the traces erased by the world through music. Driven by a clock that stopped in January 2025, I strive to be a witness to noble lives that must not be forgotten, writing the 'Chronicles of One Indebted to Love.'
​I returned to music remembering the words of the most precious person in my life, who once told me they loved seeing me make music the most.
​If anyone asks why I use AI vocals, it is because these songs, which weave together over 30 years of my life, are a process of finding my true colors. I believe the singer for these tracks must be someone who truly understands my journey. Even a human singer’s voice, once digitized, becomes data—0s and 1s. To me, a singer's true purpose is to act as a medium for the message. In my work, AI is utilized only for virtual instruments and vocals to convey that essence.
