Cold Despair

title track from new album available on bandcamp: https://stefanstrasser.bandcamp.com/album/n-dutgang

"nødutgang" unveils an atmospheric odyssey through ambient electronics and percussion, a collaborative creation by stephan bartsch, stefan schmidt and stefan strasser. recorded live, the album captures the fluidity of bartsch's percussion, the ethereal electronic landscapes shaped by schmidt, and the later overdubbed electronic textures of stefan strasser. the seamless blend of unconventional percussion and synthetic elements invites the listener into a transcendental sonic realm. this collaborative effort, marred only by the unintentional omission of stefan strasser's live session contributions, stands as a testament to their ability to navigate unexpected turns and create a truly immersive musical experience.

stefan schmidt - [d]ronin, lyra8, efx (musicforoverexposedcelluloid.bandcamp.com)
stephan bartsch - percussion
stefan strasser - osmose synth, distant piano and electronics

nødutgang

Song by The Ginger Twins…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
I’m past the point of a passive approach
And I’m inclined to respond to your aggressive tone
You’re aligned with the one with the smoking gun
And you try to deny you’re the abusive one
You cry alone
You’ll die alone
We’re beyond the point of a lesson to learn
And you’re trapped in the pyre that’s about to burn
You’re allowed to pray and/or apologize
But the fire prevails and it scorches lies
You cry alone
You’ll die alone
I’m past the point of a passive approach
And I’m inclined to respond to your aggressive tone
You’re resigned to pay for your sinister ways
And yet you still deny much of the things you say
You cry alone
You’ll die alone

A Passive Approach

Song by The Ginger Twins...
vocals/synths/electric typewriter - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
There’s a phantom limb
Shaking hands with me
And a broken clock
For eternity
Have we come this far?
Is it destiny?
Or a fate of doom that’s in front of me?
Destiny – eternity – you – me 
There’s a set of paths
Straight in front of me
And a choice to make
For eternity
Having come this far
What’s my destiny?
Is my fate defeat?
Or a victory?
Destiny – eternity – you – me

March Of Fate

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
I have sacrificed
I have asked for nothing
I have seen too much
Lies have taken over you
Weakened by the weight of worry
Solitude or solitary
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
I remember – they’ve forgotten
Weakened by the state of hatred
Apathy becomes outdated
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
Took my sight, now I’ve forgotten
I am blind
I have sacrificed
I have asked for nothing
I have seen too much
Lies have taken over you
I have sacrificed
I have asked for nothing
I have seen too much
Lies have taken over you
Hidden in the waste of excess
Memories recede like progress
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
I am not sure cause I’ve forgotten
In the dark, the light defeated
A shining truth has now retreated
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
Took my sight now I’m forgotten
I am blind

Blind

"I had wandered for days, until at last the view before me unfolded—an accursed kingdom, crumbling in ruin. And thus, hope withered once more."

Lyrics:
Alone again
No one’s waiting
No one cares
Alone again
No one worries
No one cares
Alone again
Is this living?
Is this life?
'Cause it feels like death
It feels like death
It feels like death
Alone again
No one answers
No one’s here
Gone again
No one’s coming
No one’s near
Alone again
No one’s waiting 
No one cares
It feels like death
It feels like death
It feels like death

It Feels Like Death

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
Ritualistic violence
Cold despair
Was it a crime?
Or just a pagan suicide?
A suicide
Suicide pact
A pagan suicide
A suicide
Suicide pact
Ceremonial violence
Death, despair
Was it a crime?
Or just a pagan suicide?
A suicide
Suicide pact
A pagan suicide
A suicide
Suicide pact

Pagan Suicide
