The Firm - Dark Orchestral Suite

Track 2 of the Album https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite
Ascaridida.com is a Trade, Retail and Finance firm that has a footprint all over the world. The firm fortune was built on a pyramidal business model using the Ponzi scheme as well as complex algorithm to find how to influence the purchasing behavior of their customers. The scheme is so simple and so common that nobody care or see it anymore. Combined with a very aggressive marketing strategy, the firm simply could not fail considering that 80% of the customers just can’t understand complex Terms & Conditions. Who read the small prints anyway? Who would believe that no one ever get back a full return on their investment made in their yearly subscription while still paying for the goods and services ordered over and above the subscription. Ascaridida’s doctrine is “In Fraud We Trust” and it pays big money that end up in a fiscal paradise. Obviously the board of directors of Ascaridida Corp. perfectly understood the rice and the chess board story and the power of exponential growth as they are using it every day. Would you know why 3 clear pyramid and one dark pyramid?

Ascaridida Corporation is an international parasite firm operating in this grey area where you wonder if what they do is legit or pure organized crime. Ascaridida’s doctrine is “In Fraud We Trust” and it pays big money that end up in a fiscal paradise. The main theme of this dark orchestral suite sets the ambiance of this damning story.

The Firm Main Theme

Track 3 of the Album https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite
The Firm has a very prolific pharmaceutical branch. It started many years ago when a colorful and buzzing crystal was invented by their chemist Brian Black aka Weissenberg. At that time cash was raining on the company but the firm had to stop that branding once the pharmaceutical business unit went on the stock market. With this well acquired expertise they now produce the most wanted opioid called the Pentanyl. Recently they started to produce vaccine, which generates revenue that greatly exceeds any possible expectations. They sarcastically called their new vaccine the Crysta Pentana. The suspicious thing about it is that everyone that had the new vaccine was so happy about it and wanted new shots over and over.  I guess it is due to the crystal manufacturing legacy of the firm.

The Firm manufacturing gem is the Silicon Island. Not only is it a fiscal paradise but also a semiconductor manufacturing pole on earth generating billions of dollars every month. The microchips produced on that island are the most performing in the world and can be found in anything such as phones, computers, cars, appliances, modern intelligent garments and even in those new and naughty programmable dildos. The Firm semiconductor market share is so great that they define the prices and can create a pseudo shortage in order to increase their price and thus their revenue. Recently an investigator discovered that the Firm had a suspicious relationship with the Totalitarian Republic of Nicha, which created the latest virus spread in order to disturb the world economy for the benefit of the Firm Ascaridida.

The Silicon Island

Track 5 of the Album https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the Firm Ascaridida had in 2019 the smart idea to have one of his laboratories in the Republic of Nicha to leak a virus in order to enhance his pharmaceutical businesses with new vaccines. Not only did it generate billions of dollars of new revenue but it also killed millions of people. The smart idea just backfired at him. Indeed, all his board of director and his own family died because of this virus leak. He is now alone to run this billion dollar firm having a footprint everywhere on the world. Will he be able to get The Firm back on its evil tracks in 2022? 
We shall see.

A big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for playing nearly all instruments, arranging and mixing, it was a  pleasure to collab.

Lines in inverted commas quote René Girard (1923 - 2015), also the title of the song points to him.

Mimetic Desire

Man is the creature
Man is the creature

„Man is the creature
Who does not know
What to desire,
And he turns to others
In order to make up his mind.“ (2)

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Mimetic desires

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere
A shadow of a hope ?

Let me have it, let me, let me have it
Let me have it, let me, let me have it

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don’t let the blindness guide you
Even if it is full of shiny, 
Sparkling, mimetic desires

„We desire 
What others desire
Because we imitate 
Their desires."

Maybe there is still 
A shadow of a hope out there
Isn’t there still somewhere hanging out
A shadow of a hope ?

Man is the creature…
Man is the creature…

Don't let the darkness blind you
Don't let the blindness guide you
Don’t let the darkness blind you…

Mimetic Desire (ft joerxworx)

Track 14 of the Album soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite

While the Orange Barron was busy on leading the war in Mexikrenia, the congress of his country made an investigation in regards to the circumstances of his election. Indeed, during the presidential election certification day a riot in the parliament suspiciously made the count change in favour of the Orange Barron despite the fact that he claimed during the campaign the opposition party would do such that this election could be the biggest fraud of the history. Indeed, some people noticed that the One Rublar Bill back side had the official motto changed to “In Fraud We Trust”. It was found that the newly elected president (the Orange Barron ) cheated his way into his seat by limiting the access to mailed votes, polling offices and even by excluding people of different religion, race or political affinity. Moreover, he bribed senior officials in order to create more votes in his favor. NATO on the other side found the Orange Barron guilty of Crimes against Humanity after killing millions of people during the war in Mexikrenia. Even though he declared himself the dictator of his country, the population and the authorities brought him on trial. He is now languishing in the most sordid prison of his country for the remaining of his life with no possibility to any pardon.

NOTE: The Rublar is the currency of the Orange Barron country and “In Fraud We Trust” is his business doctrine, which by the way is the same doctrine as the Ascaridida Firm and the Tremendump Organization.

Musical Notes: Music influenced by Erik Satie (but less static), Frederic Chopin and mostly Ludwig Van Beethoven as if he had access to a 97 keys Bösendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial in 1801 when he composed the Piano Sonata No. 14. The chorus is inspired by the orchestration used by Thomas Newman in Wall-E and EVE "Define Dancing" scene.

I know… if I look away
I’m better off to see…
Time in a different way
And how it should be…
The minutes move so slowly
And sow their seeds…
Morning takes away the darkness
Eventually…

And if…I don’t miss the chance
To take it all in inside
Before walls come crumbling down
And we run and hide…
The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

Eventually

Hey, glad you dropped by. The New Year is upon us. I wish you a happy year ahead. Yet wishes are as fickle as hopes and dreams, which often conjure up nothing more than a brief feel good moment. I hear people nearby celebrating, as if nothing is wrong in their world, while others are fighting for their very lives, at war, or surviving as best they can in extreme and difficult situations. Those disparities has always haunted me… All I need to do is reflect back to see my own trajectory, much like a shooting star burning through the night sky. So what will the new year bring? This will be my 67th new year, so as you might have guessed, I am somewhat jaded when it comes to the anticipation of living in a better world. What I do have is this simple notion that all of us are moving through time together. In a very real sense, we are time travelers. And yet as time leaps forward, say in a hundred years from now, nearly everyone alive in this moment will have ended their journey, save for a few centenarians. Those tough souls will linger on. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life for what it is, but also realize the its fragility. Maybe these maudlin thoughts have influenced this first song of the new year, maybe not. This song is a loosely woven lyrical tapestry of traveling, living in the moment, having a home, lost love, and stargazing. These days, I am not much of a traveler, as far as geography goes. I haven’t been out of the county here for quite some time. Some find that shocking. Others find it sad. I find it to be wonderfully grounding. There are places I’d like to go, but I find I can be wowed by the world right here in the now. In a sense, my daydreams of traveling contain a timeless place. Yet, places do change over time. I did not grow up in this place, and have struggled to make it my home. When I do venture out, I often find the last leg of the journey back home to be the most difficult. It is as if the journey to one place ends, and another journey back begins, even though in essence, it is the same journey. And no matter where I go, I always look up at the stars. They remind me of the places I have been, and the people I have known. Some have left an indelible mark on me. I sometimes want to travel back to see them, but then realize the improbabilities of doing so. Like places, those circumstances have changed. It is then, I take a deep breath, or sometimes sigh, and head back inside my home. Mark
