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.

Track 9 of the Album soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite

Since the Firm new twisted credo is “From the Grave to the Cradle”, Aaron E. Must, the new director of the Electric Car business unit, has the mandate to manufacture the cheapest and most profitable electric car on the market. It will be manufactured using cars recycled from the Scrap Yard Business Unit in New Mexico and cheap batteries made in the totalitarian republic of Nicha. “Spit it out on the market as fast as possible” the CEO said. “Whatever happens, we will fix it later”. “Just put those stupid gadgets everybody wants in those cars such as GreenTooth, a giant screens to view reality shows while driving, a dummy pilot system that can crash your car should you want to suicide and it will sell like cupcakes”. Since it was also made in New Mexico the car was called sarcastically the Cojonas model FU. Shortly after it was on the market, the Lithium ion battery of the cars started to set houses on fire during the recharge at night. The cars would suddenly set on fire in parking lots for no apparent reasons. The worst was the battery would be set on fire after a car accident while the passengers could be trapped inside the car. It is never a good sign when a CEO smiles when everything goes wrong because it means he knows on whom he will put the blame and he did. “Aaron E. must resign immediately” said the CEO to the press. “I would have never approved such a bad design on one of my product and since he is accountable for this business unit he is the one to fire” said again the CEO to the press. However, deep in his mind he was thinking about his Firm doctrine “In Fraud We Trust”.

“This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.”

Music Notes: Some of you may have recognized a very disturbed version of Gary Numan “Cars” at 0:35 played by the Doublebasses and the Beatles “Baby you can Drive my Car” at 1:50 played by the strings in spicatos. Indeed it was used as a subliminal recall of cars in order to mesmerize you. However, if you can find where I hidden the “Crash And Burn” song by the Pat Travers Band you’re a king of the rock culture. Good luck ;o)

“Crystal Radio” is 4 track album released in 2022.  The central thread related to how time and life flow in an unpredictable pattern, but within boundaries. Lines are created based on decisions we make, big or small.  How different would someone’s life change based on these decisions?  Even say, stopping or not stopping to have a drink at a water fountain, decades previously. Everything after would have been jostled around, but with what impact?  

Two previous tracks have used this theme. ‘Silica Daughter’ appears on the 2021 project “Cloktacs III” and uses a sample where the question is asked, “You won’t fail me will you?”.  Later in 2021, samples from the 90-year-old movie ‘Back Street’ were repurposed to create a radio play called ‘Back Lane’ which will be aired as part of the 2022 Radiophrenia event in Scotland. The storyline of the movie follows a chain of events set in motion by a simple decision that alters the lives of the characters completely, forever, and ends in a classic, ‘what if’…

The final track “Tracing Home” again features Jennifer,  bookending this project with two fabulous performances.
