The album is unmixed and unfinished.
Let yourself feel good. 
Reverse the bad trip that they put on you. 
It'll be alright.

Sleeping Dogs (Dust)

This track celebrates the word "fancy", which I'm overusing at the moment, especially to describe the results of futile efforts to create something hip and ingenious.
The composition was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0536 (description see below).

I want to thank the following freesound-users for providing sounds that I used in the track:

The photograph shows the Palladian Bridge at Prior Park in Bath, a building I would describe as "fancy". It is a typical architectural element of English landscape gardens.

Fancy! (Disquiet 0536)

Plight Of The Hemoglobin Hobgoblins

Treasures, Precious Items or whatever...

Precious items are always rare? Everything that is rare is also precious? Precious stones, gold, oil. But what about life? Is it not the most precious thing we possess? The love we can give to others? We cannot live by gold, gems, oil and money alone. We cannot accumulate riches if the heart remains cold, extinguished. I, at least, cannot. 

Jeff Bezos is able to fly into space, but is he happy doing so? Does he realize that with this single flight he has emitted about as much carbon dioxide (seventy-five tons in words!) as the poorest families in this world do in their entire lives?

I don't accumulate wealth because I don't make it in the first place! I should build up "reserves," save for times of need, my government says. We are all already suffering hardship...for a long time! The gap between rich and poor is already held by others. This little song should reflect my thoughts, my worries, but also hope. Of course I produce in this moment - and also during composing - CO2, consume electricity for my computer, my keyboard. However, I try to compensate this by consciously doing without other things. But I will NOT renounce the most precious treasures of our life: love, life and hope.

Precious items

Silence 

The city shines apocalyptic tonight 
An avalanche of grief in a sea of blue lights 
Turning the other cheek, falling into their graves 
Rising like Lazarus to do it again 

A crowd of youths are getting ready to “meet”
There’s an air of violence running down every side street 
Put down your guns 
Thrown down your arms 
No one’s brave enough to sound the alarm 

The deafening silence 
This silence is deep
Been silent for so long we’ve forgotten to speak 
Words like silent raindrops fall 
The silence is deep but the anger is shallow 

The toothless vampire’s getting ready to bite 
Fuck me man you know what’s wrong and what’s right 
For every Abel there’s another Cain 
Every vow of silence is another bloodstain

Silence

05: Fusillade

Two presences emerge beneath a fractured sky, shadows curving into mirrored shapes that move as one. Lanterns go out, arteries rust, and glass walls rise silently, harboring within them a fire that refuses to be extinguished. Sparks ignite from the dust, rain falls in violet hues, and obsidian horizons stretch endlessly. In their symmetry, an eternal stream flows: two lions united by silence, strength, and unbreakable light.
