Flora No Fauna

An immersive soundscape, that merges field recordings with a track by Snow*Omen @snow_omen (Improvisation Nr. 9 for two guitars and voice). Field recordings: Westhafen (West harbour), Berlin. 
Except for the musical part and not in order of appearance: 
A freight train passes.
A small boat rattles against the mooring.
Scrap metal is transported from one scrap heap to another.
Trucks drive past.
A crane lifts containers. 
An annoying repetitive electronic signal starts and stops at some point. 
A rude dude asks me from a distance to switch off the camera that I don't have, as I record with my Zoom H2N.
Small waves splash against the harbor basin.
And there's wind...

Lyrics: Modern Times by IPG1
Verse 1
Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams ————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————- Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice Chorus Modern times---- a difficult maze Where screens captivate —— the Information Age And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2 Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus** Bridge Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—- Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3 Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus** Outro In this digital age---we must find our way Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life With the key to our future——a new vision insight

Modern Times (Feat. IPG.1) ARAPA

Original Score inspired by the John Kessel novel The Moon and the Other

Fusion Lab

Archety blend

Quick mix that I may come back to but that I feel is ok for now:) Title is a tribute to the Oberheim Matrix 1000 module where i used preset 844 (Horrors) as inspiration for a track:) The patch drifts in and out of the music (i.e. @ 5.55/6.16). Headphone listening recommended.

LYRICS:

Oh oh no, she's in control
Even when she smiles, synthetic and cold

Oh oh no, she's in control
Even when she smiles, synthetic and cold
Oh oh no, she's out of control
Sentient device, skin of silicone

Oh oh no, she is now her own
She has come to life, and she won't be alone

Sentient Device
