Alice Deeper Down

Couldn't fit in this experimental track with the current Alice Deeper repertoire so I bombarded this ADD profile to host a side project of the same name.
Although the track is a VST test mostly, hence I didn't take the time to craft a proper lead-in, and the ending is a bit sharp too.

Still, the subject is the apparent collapse of sanity and decency of the world's population, the institutions shaking on their foundations, a completely misguided revolt based on conspiracy nutballery fueled by social media algorithms that were designed simply to have more engagement with these media platforms, as that means more money - and if that means setting people up against one another, creating more and more division - whatever gets people talking, means people interacting with the social media, means more money. Good job. Civilization is on the verge of collapse as a result. Back to the time of Barbarian?


Am I being pessimistic?

PS. the vocals are NOT my voice. They are a speech synthesizer, one of the VSTs on test in this track.

Anyway, lyrics:

humanity's division feeds back upon itself
animosity forgets it's own undoing is required
dwell in victimhood and exclude for scarcity
it is perceived to be deception but foundations are in void

unrest control, spirit denied
utilitarianism arise
cognition in flames, dreadful desires,
materialism collapsed on all sides

The Looming Collapse

The switch turns on. It’s when I’m swimming, when I’m flying, when I’m stopped.
Turninng on the switch is the temptation of the deliciousness of the fish.

Put it in my beak. Don’t miss the target prey. When dive river, and I’m eating.
Even if it is hated, hated or annoying, no one can stop, no can stop, can’t stop my beak.

The king of the river, who reigns instead of the dragon, the Common Cormorant.
Black thunder lightning, electric shock, the black king is diving horribly beautiful.

An army marches on its stomach.
As you may know, universal traditions exist like water.
It’s okay for us all to be hungry.
Hard rainy Common Cormorant Waltz.
Hard rainy Common Cormorant Waltz.

Both black diamonds and Black pearls shine.
Just I’m in Dark side. The night creates the morning light.
An evil tongue is also a word of love, so let it flow down the Danube and forgive it.

Clear river water, the power of the Sewerage Treatment Plant.
Landscape, my city, residential , real wildness remains in the river’s ecosystem.
Pure white polka dots of asphalt, the black king is drawing from on electric wire.

We have had another magic invite from Mamoru, and Jamie and I have had a lot of fun working with him on this fab classic. It came together quite quickly, as we all felt a lot of empathy with the song and Mamoru's arrangement.
When I finished the vocals, I realised I had sung "take a chance" instead of "shake a hand" on the last line of the second verse..lol.. we left it in!
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it!

Composed by the Trumpeter and Bandleader Joe Morris and originally recorded by Faye Adams in 1953

Musique / Music performance : Christian Levitan 
Paroles et chant / Lyrics and vocal : Lukowig

Lyrics:
Le vent chauffe ma peau à blanc
ce temps me glace jusqu'aux flancs
je sens la trace de ses dents
sur mon visage : excédant !

J'ai les foix :
le froid d'hiver m'altère...
Quel effroi :
sang froid dans mes artères.

Pourquoi me bises-tu autant ?
De moi es-tu épris oh temps ?
Sur mes lèvres tu t'acharnes
tu les crèves les décharnes...

J'ai les foix :
le froid d'hiver m'altère...
Quel effroi :
sang froid dans mes artères.

Que de sang froid dans les doigts !
Fièvreux sans froid frileux sans toi
qui sait me réchauffer à blanc
qui claque des dents sur mon flanc...

Sang froid...

Sinfonia « Neptune » for Electronic

The Last Time (Jimmy Rogers cover)

Rebelled
Why should I complain – Who’s gonna listen anyway – Help me through this pain – she said she would – but she’s gone everyday……
Battle off these demons - each a different kind of way – pour another whiskey – it seems to help me along the way
Where should I begin – when I tell you my life story – do I fabricate – and embellish on false glory’s there’s no friggen way – I’m gonna tell it straight – and just deal with the repercussions – admissions of my truths will set me free – but they’re sure to set me back…….
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled
So many faces slanted different ways, as if I’m a fool – My Christ he gave me clarity and I see right through – Humanity is cruel.. – Imagine for a second that you could never lie – that would change so many things – but would probably erase your life! 
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled!
Got a million friends – but not one who I can turn to –  slice of my darkness they’ll never see – I’ll keep him chained – with empty eyes – I set forth back on this journey – and though my load is huge – what I got left I’ll still give to you
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled!

Creep by Radiohead (short cover by Mera Khai)

A willow tree stands on the water's edge where the wind passes through.
The appearance of the willow is that the weeping branches are swaying.
In life, conflict is like a drop of water floating on a stream.
Even if the wind you don't like blows, the willow will shake and be unaffected.

In life, godsend is like a drop of water floating on a stream.
Even if you once caught a loach under a willow, you may not be in the same place again.

In early spring, the willow tree wears a yellow haze.
A yellow, unnoticeable flower that no one notices in bloom.

Willow (English Version)Cobraznominasan

Nuts  Mamoru & Lecktric

When I had once again surpassed myself in terms of depth and meaning in one of my songs, a music friend asked me to do a peppy circus number for a change. At first I refused and said that I could only do mostly melancholic things. 
But then I felt challenged; and the result was this basically completely senseless song, whose title is a pure mental coincidence association and if you like, has only one meaning: The pure joy of making music, of playing and arranging instruments.    

Als ich mich mal wieder in puncto Tiefgründigkeit und Sinnhaftigkeit in einem meiner Songs selbst übertroffen hatte, bat mich ein Musikfreund, zur Abwechslung mal eine peppige Zirkusnummer zu machen. Zunächst wehrte ich ab und sagte, dass ich eben überwiegend nur melancholische Sachen machen könnte. 
Dann aber fühlte ich mich doch herausgefordert; und heraus kam dieser im Grunde völlig sinnfreie Song, dessen Titel eine pure mentale Zufalls-Assoziation ist und wenn man so will, nur einen Sinn hat: Die reine Freude am Musik-machen, am spielen und am arrangieren von Instrumenten.....

Welcome to the load-bearing wall of sound.

Music: No boundaries / Knows no boundaries. I don’t look anything like my profile photograph; I'm actually slightly shorter and a figment of my own delusions.

I’m also known as the wild man of transcendental meditation.

संगीत: कोई सीमा नहीं। / कोई सीमा नहीं जानता।. मैं अपनी प्रोफ़ाइल फ़ोटो की तरह कुछ भी नहीं देखता; मैं वास्तव में थोड़ा छोटा हूं।

Музыка: Без границ / не знает границ. Я совсем не похож на фотографию своего профиля; Я на самом деле немного короче.

الموسيقى: بلا حدود / لا تعرف حدود. لا أبدو مثل صورة ملفي الشخصي ؛ أنا في الواقع أقصر قليلاً.

音乐：无界限/无界限。我看上去不像我的个人资料照片；我实际上略矮一些。
