Reptilian Terminals

did you think you weren't part of this amazing and ineluctable system? think again:
• we harvest the energy released by your attempts to escape
• we use you to spread our finely crafted counter-anti-propaganda
• we programmed you with the values you think you are preserving
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.

If you want to envision the future, simply picture a human head bobbing up and down to an endless sick ass beat. Now,
take this gun, get in your car, go out there, kill someone, and wear their badge. That's your mission. Or not. It doesn't matter what you do.

Anekdotes from others

Something like a strange mix of prog rock from the seventies and grunge rock from the nighty years
"In waki's eyes you can see...."


Waki's Song

zeitloope (prod. b&dbbb)

Посвящается тем, кто жив.
Sing all together!

All music: Alexander Bozhday @somebody-bo (Penza-town) 
Text & vocal: Nata Boundariver @crazycompass (Moscow-city) 

CONGRATULATE ME
(pidgin-version) 

give all things
forget about me
pretend to dead
reach to the day

portraits look at me
pretend to dead – reach to the day
portraits look at me
prepare for life – reach to the day

sing all songs
forgive me
fear God
reach to the day

portraits look out of the fire
prepare for life – reach to the day

leave all thoughts
congratulate me
prepare for life
reach to the day

portraits look without blinking

prepare for life – reach to the day

We all know that this happens all the time,
but by refusing to believe, we lose the desired
expressions of relationships that are insensitive to deception,
convincing the superfluous of the inevitability of illusions
from which everyone suffers, not daring to discover
and admit that it
was, in general, useless.

open all doors
let me in
give all for life
reach to the day

shatter all glass
love me
give all for life
reach to the day

leave all thoughts
forgive me
give all for life
reach to the day

sing all songs
congratulate me
give all for life
reach to the day

give all things
love me
give all for life
reach to the day

leave all thoughts
congratulate me
give all for life
reach to the day

sing all songs
forgive me
give all for life
reach to the day

That's My Middle Name - Zanshin 残真 / Myrh

This is a song about a dehumanized human being inserting code strings on the terminal console of his computer, and convincing himself of being somehow almighty or immortal, thanks to the privileged relationship he thinks he has established with the processor. But his computer's crude response is that he's just a freaking out mortal creature...

LYRICS:

[Computer:] lns/dev/dsp/lsd/
[Dehumanized human:] I really won’t surrender… I’m gonna live much longer
[Computer:] I got your words misplaced… I ain’t no friendly interface
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please save us all
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – pacmd; load module; remap sink; sink name equal mono
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna live forever… C’mon babe, let’s have a drink together
[Computer:] Your mind is really messed up, I’m gonna have a drink from your cup
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please hear my call
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – cat/proc/bus/user/usb U.S.A.
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna mock the devil, increase the fighting level
[Computer:] Your code is certainly wrong, so I believe your time ain’t long
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, I guess I’m losing control

lyrics from original instrumental
:
the trial 
... carrying any empirical knowledge so much as hinting to the creation lie feels somewhat like smacking a Minotaur on the nose and then, in an adorable display of ignorant bliss insist nothing in your world will ever change, so yes, ... a very dumb idea indeed, ... holy fuck, ... but to then double down and trick this original lie into returning with you and assist in the capture of its creator/author for all to see, well that's just bat-shit crazy ...oh, I should mention that the accused liar is time ( pronounced: time )
...from the very start i was certain of one thing, ... like all great villains of past, it too was going to grow more and more predictable, ... and that it did, until finally this crafty trickster got downright sloppy ...and so we find ourselves gathered here today, ... now if it pleases the court and if all who came to bear witness are indeed ready, we commence this summoning of the immortal incarnation time ( pronounced: time )
...as we begin you will not listen to the words you are reading ...nor will you attempt to make sense of any specific word, ... they no longer have the same meaning to us, now forming vibrations from what once was, in truth, they have ceased being words at all, echoes of shapes or forms, moving between space and outside of time or light, bound by will alone,... these treasured implements carry deep inside the trap for her... if time only listens long enough... 
silence it begins
"pawns of surveyor spawn are we... for the memory of all surveyors pawns are we... i agree as in times past to the blood that so remembers, each spawned pawn is in truth mere host and clone, ...and so are we"

wake up sleepy-head

... now we wait ...

chete' knife!

The basic tracks for some of these songs were scattered through other music I had recorded over the last ten years.  Quarantine has given me the time to hear some of this music with fresh ears. In most instances dozens of instrument tracks were stripped away to find some forgotten core that made me nod or smile.  Then I started again.  All new recording has been done since the start of lock down and tries to put a sound on the subtle dislocation of a global disaster that is mostly (for me) expressed in my daily life as an absence, a taking away rather than a presence; a distantly felt thing.  

All tracks recorded and mixed at Shadowbear Studio.  Mastering at Black Knoll Studio.  Photo taken by Csilla Varadi.
