Abort - The Databats (free download)

The expanses of "outer space" are littered with the detritus of broadcasts, transmitted and encrypted, echoing ad infinitum.

We imagine this song to be an assemblage of these artifacts, and of the interpretations of those who are exposed to them.  Or alternately - what if Martians decided to adapt Kurt Vonnegut's "The Sirens of Titan" into a "reality"-based sitcom?

This piece was written, performed and recorded in Logic 9, featuring a Korg Kaossilator, a Korg Monotron, Logic 9 Instruments and copious amounts of samples.  The lyrics are composed of a cut-and-paste poem with "The Sirens of Titan" serving as its source material.

It is the first single from an upcoming EP entitled "Of Water" which is the first part of 2 concept albums about water, oceans, biology, ecology, technology and the proliferation of life.
lyrics
wreathing, 
winding. 
seeking, 
finding. 

bodies of water; 
bodies of salt; 
bodies of flesh; 
bodies without. 

undulating, 
shrinking. 
crenellating, 
thinking. 
divesting, 
forgetting, 
ingesting, 
resetting. 

bodies of water; 
bodies of salt; 
bodies of flesh; 
bodies without. 

bodies of water; 
the body, gestalt; 
embody the water; 
nobody at fault.
