I'm a citizen of my own kitchen
cookin' up a plant-based plot
I'm a citizen of my own position
rockin' up to my slot
A citizen of my own condition
You be checkin' out my fridge,
A citizen of supposition
And I'm takin it to the fuckin' bridge!
It's a Plant Based Rock!

A citizen of all condition,
You ask me what I got
A citizen of my own contrition,
I got a Plant-Based Rock!

A citizen of extradition
I bow down at your feet,
A citizen of Post tradition
Some people try eat less meat..........

It's a Plant-Based Rock

Plant-Based Rock

This is my submission for the Darksiders quarterly playlist, this time involving the theme of colours. Inspired by the Beach colour palette. Dark turquoise water, muted cool greys and the beige colour of sand. Thanks for listening

where you are,
there you are,
near is near,
far is far,
there's no forgiveness,
just whispering ears,
my head is a bony bag,
of broken mirrors,

summerset, 
can't forget,
all strung out,
fingers fret,
invisible friend will be keeping the time,
deep in the slake of my slither-pit mind,

the imaginary world that grew from our love,
sleeps in the deep dreaming of the above,
cold and indifferent the cynical skies,
heart that won't start and a head full of lies,

how I love you,

make believe,
starts to rot,
the story world,
you forgot,
whispering ears or a silence so cruel,
borrowing tears on eternal renewal.

I love you,

you left me here, all whispering ears,
the shadowless Queendom that you used to rule,
sleeps in the deep 'neath a silence so cruel,
and I'm laying to rest,
the skipped beat in my breast,
and the hiss of my whispering ears

           ....

happily never after,
a moment of sad sobbing laughter.

well, you know my head's a squat house,
and I've boarded up the eyes,
so that no one else can see,
that I'm fooled by my disguise,

happily never after,

        ...

how I let them in,
and how they piss on the floor,
deep in my squat house head,
drowning in my powdered rapport,

I only live one day in eternal refrain,
it's a Burmese repeater, again, again, again, again,

are you a beautiful melody,
with horrible words?
there was a sermon of insects,
and it was all I ever heard,
bestowed a blessing of filth,
and I was high on the stain,
it's a Burmese repeater, again, again, again, again,

Burmese Repeater...

Disquiet Junto Project 0580: Evo Evol Evolve
The Assignment: Record a piece of music that develops like an organism evolves.

Out of curiosity, I had just bought a sequencer called ZOA, so I decided to go with the "Game of Life" approach of this sequencer (chances are I'm not alone in this). In case you're not familiar with the concept: Conway's Game of Life is a cellular model of evolution in which the life of each cell depends on the life of neighboring cells. In ZOA, each cell is a note and four sequencers play these notes according to additional rules. ZOA adds features like MIDI, and I liked that a lot. 

What I didn't like was the randomness of the melodies, but hey, isn't life random in the first place? (Big debate… let's say: Sometimes it feels random...) I had pushed the development by changing the probability of the notes by hand. If the game of life had come to a halt with some dead pattern, I would have used that, but I didn't want to force it.

I played with many instruments and patterns, but in the end I reduced it to two tracks of eighth notes. For the beginning and the end I chose a cheap fade-in, fade-out, because life came quietly and very slowly out of nowhere, and I think that according to current scientific knowledge, one day it will end like that and just fade out.

Self verdict: The track is soulless and meaningless, like the evolution of life, which need not mean that listeners could not hear either soul or meaning in it if they felt like it.

I'm in no way affiliated with it and there are many alternative MIDI tools doing "life" patterns. ZOA is not without its limits, but I found it a very interesting addition to my pattern park.

Hōsai graduated from the Tokyo Imperial University, where he studied law. He got off to a good start but decided to give up his home, family, and business to jump from one militant religion of Japan to the other.

Just like Taneda Santoka, Hōsai abandoned the traditional verse form of his time and mostly looked at the austere confines of his life for inspiration.
