From Here, There and Everywhere - Nowadaze - a concept album that makes analog synth sound fresh, about the daze we experience everyday nowadays with all the manic info flow, algorithmic madness, social media induced megalomania and weakling nostalgia for better times, that in fact never where… And how to graciously survive it all.

The manifesto:

I feel so very old. As if the day has decided to advance light miles without warning us. All the ideas, thoughts, and habits with which I grew up suddenly have no meaning, no purpose – they are no longer part of the new world, they seem like relics and souvenirs from other planets we visited, though neither of rock nor of gas, and the only distance that separates us from them is time.

I am imprisoned between the material, which I never viewed as futuristic, -- which has suddenly become a heavy monument to the present -, and the abstract, cybernetic, and alien to everything I have considered human until now.

Glass, concrete, artificial lights, and lithium thoughts. Every day, people live more and more in an automation that a few years ago would have seemed an unattainable fantasy in the near future. And yet, here we are. Of our own free will. Nobody forced us; we did everything we could to get here.

Even so, I don't take credit for the petty work of the collective unconscious. The unconscious that prioritizes building a machine over planting a tree, exchanging futile phrases that feed each other's ego before words of empathy and consolation, and seeking how to survive until tomorrow instead of generating life for several centuries to come. A society that gulps without chewing. A society that will not hesitate to gulp me, because I don't have sharp enough teeth, and I am not used to shredding the plastics and metals that already are in my food.
