Nach dem Gedicht „Auf der Terrasse des Café Josty“ von Paul Boldt

[Intro]
Nachtregen hüllt den Platz in eine Höhle,
Wo Fledermäuse, weiß, mit Flügeln schlagen
Und lila Quallen liegen - bunte Öle;

[Strophe 1]
Der Potsdamer Platz in ewigem Gebrüll
Vergletschert alle hallenden Lawinen
Der Straßentakte: Trams auf Eisenschienen
Automobile und den Menschenmüll.

[Chorus]
Nachtregen hüllt den Platz in eine Höhle,
Wo Fledermäuse, weiß, mit Flügeln schlagen
Und lila Quallen liegen - bunte Öle;

[Strophe 2]
Die Menschen rinnen über den Asphalt,
Ameisenemsig, wie Eidechsen flink.
Stirne und Hände, von Gedanken blink,
schwimmen wie Sonnenlicht durch dunklen Wald.

[Outro]
Die mehren sich, zerschnitten von den Wagen.-
Aufspritzt Berlin, des Tages glitzernd Nest,
Vom Rauch der Nacht wie Eiter einer Pest.

Auf der Terrasse des Café Josty

Ah, the infamous "antinatalist triolet" from Reb Hastrev's opera 𝐼𝑡 𝐻𝑢𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝐿𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ. The triolet was written by Seth Braver, published originally in his poetry collection 𝐼𝑙𝑙 𝐸𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝐴𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑒. Here it is sung by Bart Sherev accompanied by the Elma Philharmonic (conducted by Hastrev). 

They know not what they do, these folk,
Begetting children left and right,
As if compelled to share each joke
They know. Not what they 𝘥𝘰, these folk,
But what they 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 do clamps the yoke
On innocents. It isn’t right.
They know not? What?! They 𝘥𝘰, these folk –
Begetting children left and right!

The Yoke in the Yolk

Lyrics:

ROSE:   I will love you forever darling
              I’ve lived my whole life loving you
 
JOSEPH:   I could never be consoled
                   If ever we must say adieu
 
 ROSE:   I have loved you as you are
               Through every season, every year
 
JOSEPH:   I will keep on loving you
                   You are what I hold most dear
 
Duet:   I will love you forever darling
            I’ve lived my whole life loving you
            I could never be consoled
            If ever we must say adieu

¡Shpiln di griln tantsn di vantsn!
The emptiness of various Corona lockdowns made Focke the Fockmaster. Musically, he tried out various styles to end up where everything once ended. Techno. 
With classical eight-year music training on the cello, pubescent excursions into New Wave music, everything followed a logic at the end of the 90s. Techno.

Die Leere diverser Corona-Lockdowns machte Focke zum Fockmaster. Musikalisch probierte er sich stilistisch divers aus, um am Ende dorthin zu gelangen, wo alles einst endete. Techno. 
Mit klassischer achtjähriger Musikausbildung am Violoncello, pubertären Ausflügen in die New Wave Musik folgte Ende der 90er Jahre alles einer Logik. Techno.
