Like most 4 y.o. girls, my daughter loves unicorns.
This song is for her.


LYRICS

An angry, old, man, who
Looks like a raisin
Cursing from the sidewalk
At every passer by

For the reason, that
No-one believes him
For what he has witnessed
Idiot savant

Look at that disheveled little messy
Scrunkly slush plushie prancing horsie
Galloping over whispy meadows
Squeaking in rapturous fits of pleasure

Elusive
Hiding in the forest
Admiring own reflection
From shallow pools

Surrounded by
Pink fluffy clouds
Fonts in comic sans
Clover shaped hooves

Go, go set the trap with an
Unspoiled virgin
Purity lure to
Capture a pegasus
Or unicorn

It's so cute
Shucks, (aww)
I want to hug it, (aww)
I want to squeeze it
Until it pops

With a rainbow, tail
From candy cotton, wings
From phoenix feathers
Narwhal ivory tusk

LYRICS

Abscission
Falling limbs
Senescence
Magic

Ethylene 
Musky sweet
Ripening
Tragic

Humble
Humble bowl of fruit
Tempting your desire
Simply can’t resist
Indulge at own risk

Furry peach
Wormholed leaves
Codling moth
Edge rot

Severed figs
Anthracnose
Fungal scorch
Lesions

Humble
Humble bowl of fruit
Tempting your desire
Simply can’t resist
Indulge at own risk

Taste Caravaggio’s bowl of fruit
Taste Caravaggio’s bowl of fruit
Taste Caravaggio’s bowl of fruit
Taste Caravaggio’s bowl of fruit
Taste Caravaggio’s bowl of fruit

Slow decay
Metaphor
Imperfect
Motif

Mummified
Shriveled grapes
Infested
Grotesque

Bittersuite Tragedy

LYRICS

The aliens 
Are chilling out
At the edge 
Of our galaxy

In a dusty cloud
Of phosphorus
It’s frigid cold
Habitable
And perfect for
A computer
Like Fugaku
On steroids

It’s a Fermi
Question
When estimating 
The number
Of active
Civilizations

The great filter
It’s pretty hard
First ones here
So advanced
Victim of
Our own success
We’ll wipe out
While hanging ten


It’s a Fermi
Question
When estimating 
The number
Of active
Civilizations

They could have already visited us here
Or they could be watching from above
Not important enough to invade
Morally against colonising

The aliens
Are listening to
Our signals but
They’re not responding

Meteoroids
Panspermia
Asteroids
Panspermia
Planetoids
Cometoids
Thankfully panspermia

It’s a Fermi
Question
When estimating 
The number
Of active
Civilizations

They could have already visited us here
Or they could be watching from above
Not important enough to invade
Morally against colonising us

We are not unique
We are not alone 
On this
Blue marble

They’re here already
They are embedded 
In all 
Our machines

And the aliens
Can’t believe
That sentience
Is made of meat

Fermi Paradox

This song aims to capture the nostalgia related to fairground rides. 

After clunking to the top in the wooden rollercoaster during the intro, you will get taken on a ride of unexpected twists and turns, with accompanying slide guitar and retro synthesizer sounds. The bridge section gives way to a more free flowing digiharp based ambience, before the syncopation returns to close the song. 

I wonder if your favourite fairground ride is referenced along the way?

Discographie:

-Mamie Denise 07 "THC PRODUCTION"
(LIM,l'etat au hardcore)

I started writing MIDI musick in the late 90's and gradually progressed into electronic/ambient sound forms over the years. It all didn't get drastically intriguing until I was about eighteen when I bought my first synthesizer, a Roland XP30.

I started a projekt with a drum machine and my Roland called This Old Crow. That lasted on and off for about six years.

During those years I collaborated with Paul Brainerd Jr in a projekt called Discordant Brainchildren. We recorded two albums worth of musick over the years and have had some live performances together.

And always, during my time while picking up gear and evolving, my solo project has evolved into great heights. "A Cardinal Night" is my first solo release in almost three or four years since I have been working with my band Remote Viewfinder.

The musick on this page is a collection of my past projekts and current solo musick.

Australian in the Netherlands.
Alternative in style blending jangly guitars, mwah bass and spacey synth.
Actively writing and recording a series of solo EPs (latest #7 2024).
