"canal (noun) - a long, thin stretch of water that is artificially made either for boats to travel along or for taking water from one area to another"

This track was inspired by permitted-exercise-during-lockdown wanderings and was produced entirely in Ableton Live during Spring 2020.

Massive thanks to Oscar Pullen for the use of his wonderful photograph.

No apologies... No bull shit... in your face!!!!!

Straight up old school thrash metal song that was inspired by, what I like call…. Greatest hoax every played on the world!!! Take your lives back people before we lose everything we have fought so hard to build and before the Isolation-Mancipation becomes a reality. Quit listening to all the bull shit the corporate entity is feeding you and do your own research. Ask questions and search for your own answers. Most lay right in front of your face if you just look!!!

If you don’t like what I have to say… I really don’t care! Keep being a tool of the billionaires club and one day, very soon, you are going to wake up with nothing and they will truly own the world.

Thanks are due:
CZ for the inspiration, support and song titles.
G for patience and support.

Living in the past in a fanzine daze
Losing all the time with our ‘winning’ ways
Everyone will buy one just wait and see
Our fingers on the pulse, just 50p!

Pen, Paper, Scissors and Glue

Sighs of disinterest from our social scene
They really want to buy one but can’t - you see …
There’s a hundred million things that they have to do
Before spending 50p on unlucky you

Pen, Paper, Scissors and Glue

If I had a Kross it’d be pink, I think?
If I had a Spacehopper I’d hop, I think?
If I were a Stanley I’d die happy.
If I were a Sister, I’d be cool, probably?

Sonopoetry and field recording by https://soundcloud.com/ilaria_boffa

Field recording: recordings taken at the 'Anello dei Colli Euganei'. The deafening noise is the sound of leaves (only) rustling in the wind.

Sonopoem: 
'Translations

A clear geography of silver poplars 
ashes and maples surrounds this fluvial area.
A narrative of rustles, chatting loudly.
Translations. What we hear and the language
that makes it audible imply investigations 
on others’ listening modes.
We question affectivity, objects’ reverbs 
crashing into beings beyond us.
Inside those cubic metres of soil and air
noise spacialises, builds and hits. 
It neuroshapes and impacts the plasticity 
of things.
We translated our voices into exact
references and wording. Now, hear.'

The Current Stream #1

I see you walking down the street
Your summer eyes, they're shinning down on me
I'm moving fast but you make time move slow
It's hard to think baby when I'm losing control

Those Friday nights in the circus
Have me acting like a fool
I swear I'm really funny
When I'm not trying to act too cool

Baby, I'm just trying to say
I'm doing the best I can
Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So take ahold of my hand

My little hunny pie
yeah my little hunny pie

They city sleeps like an angel
when you're laying next to me
can you feel it like I feel it
I need you to see that it's me you're looking for


Thanks to:
Sean Sweeney - drums

Best I Can

This track was composed and recorded in collaboration with Ras Caleb (drums and percussion), a polyhedric artist (painter, sculptor, musician) and a dear friend of mine. Visit his web pages:

The Taiji dolphin drive hunt is based on driving dolphins and other small cetaceans into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiji_dolphin_drive_hunt).
During the entire six-month long hunting season dolphins are routinely subjected to harassment, suffering and abuse. Dolphins are chased, injured, manhandled, run-over by skiffs, dragged, drowned, taken captive and slaughtered. Entire pods of dolphins are decimated, from the very young to the very old. (https://www.dolphinproject.com/campaigns/save-japan-dolphins/)
Sea in the cove turns red with blood as dolphins are slaughtered.

The massacre of dolphins in Taiji is the symbol of human indifference towards Life.
