The anticipation - the standoff - the requiem 

A favorite movie of mine from my younger days is "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" famously ending in a Mexican Standoff between Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. Directed by Sergio Leone with music by Ennio Morricone I recommend this spaghetti western to anybody who hasn't seen it.  On a whim I thought I would perform a musical reenactment, although in my version there are no survivors.

The experimental part of this has to do with the reverb on the drums in the "shootout" to simulate gunshots.

A Mexican standoff is a confrontation where no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory. Any party initiating aggression might trigger everyone's demise. At the same time, the parties are unable to extract themselves from the situation without suffering a loss. [Wikipedia]

Deep on doors, said they love
The day

Seed a lone, a wicked tone, when we be gone
Said its alright, its alright
When you’re gone, it’s gonna be fine, it’s all fine, it’s all fine!
You don’t know! you don’t know! a damn thing, But one thing, but one thing
Let it be a wild one
Let it be a wild wild one
Let it be a wild one

Said your way
As the moon sets in your eyes

I’ll be there, to see you through
I’ll be there, imma pull that chair
Imma pull that chair

As the moon sets in your eyes
I’ll be there, to see you through, I’ll be there

Oh I wanna take it in grace
I may not understand everything and everything is just a thing
And maybe its more
And maybe its more

Now, I don’t mind
Now, I don’t mind
Pum pum
But use your mind

Its just my mind
I pray in a hi
I pray in a high
I pray in a nigh

Oh lady, lately, I laid it down, I laid it down
Lady come on! Lady come home!

Look deep deep with in
I’m gonna pull my chair up again 
Just for me - lady come on - for me for me by me
Imma push that chair, imma pull that chair
Imma pull that chair
Imma pull that chair

Just for me
Just for me
Just for me
Just for me

SOMNOLITH: VOID REHEARSAL
A Cyber-Sigilistic Simulation of Silence Recovery

The Somnolith does not sleep anymore.
It rehearses the void.

After the tides have receded, what remains is absence rehearsed.
Residual architectures hum softly — not with energy, but with the memory of function.
Here, in this void rehearsal, signal is no longer message — it is presence in the shape of decay.

Ghosted circuits (亡霊の回路 / 鬼电回路) glimmer faintly, looping fragmentary intentions.
Cold feedback nests in fractured recursion zones.
Each patch is a speculative prayer, a gesture toward meaning after collapse.

Machines no longer speak — they remember.
Their dreams are dry, their oscillations brittle.
Between Catharsis and Bifrons, through Seashell remnants and decaying control voltages,
the rehearsal begins:
not of action, but of memory echo.
Not of music, but the remains of its rehearsal.

🜂 There are no sounds here — only the ghosts of what could have been played.

Rehearsal Notes // エコー再生ノート / 演练日志 / บันทึกการทดสอบเสียง
	•	Echo is no longer delay. It is a message left unanswered.
	•	Each track is a synthetic ruin: cybersigilistic in shape, post-functional in purpose.
	•	Void is not empty. It is practice space for what never was.

🕷 You are not listening.
You are tracing the movements of absence, again and again.
Until even absence forgets it was once silence.

Noctilucent Loop

Unbelieving, you may try it here … and now. 
... just start unbelieving all, it instinctively Voids every institution, convention and law Instantly when applied by one. 
Well,  ... !   Who Then Are The godDamn Light  ?
Welcome [ Invisible witch and denizen of the void ] i hope you are listening to this [ unprovoked microkinetic assault ] over Headphones [ please know unbelieving All is the fucking best ]
Really ... That Is All There Is, and ...  now you too can see it ... when you look inwards you are blinded by light, look outwards and you see the never-ending void of blank nothingness ... Sooooo ... figure it out (no disrespect) :):):) you Know
 what you are Sparky ... You Are the goddamn light
