Capitalism as a manic culture
" Applying this to the level of culture, a manic culture is one in which leaders and members observe and note problems and vulnerabilities, but feel threatened by their observations because they imply the need to worry and register the warnings involved. Such a culture is therefore unable to use these observations in a healthy way and take the warnings seriously. "

Apostillas a un Sonar 2012
"cuando Star Slinger se sube a la cabina es capaz de
pinchar píldoras bailables de aupa, con aromas soulful y funky, y con
capacidad para sumergirse en bootlegs y no salir manchado. Su sesión en
el Village sirvió para empezar a calentar los ánimos del público
presente pese al reducido alcance sonoro que presentó durante toda la
tarde ese escenario."

Fieldrecording
" Compositions using field recordings generally fall into two categories:
those that describe a location, and those which explore environmental or
social themes. However there are also compositions which enjoy
experimenting with the qualities of particular sounds, where the
musicality of field recordings is manipulated into an unrecognisable
form through the tools available to the composer. "
-Jay-Dea Lopez
And out of that love, remake a world
“You must write every single day of your life… You must lurk in
libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like
perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads… may you be in
love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a
world.”
― Ray Bradbury

They Have Not Seen the Stars
They have not seen the stars,
Not one, not one
Of all the creatures on this world
In all the ages since the sands
First touched the wind,
Not one, not one,
No beast of all the beasts has stood
On meadowland or plain or hill
And known the thrill of looking at those fires.
Our soul admires what they,
Oh, they, have never known.
Five billion years have flown
In turnings of the spheres,
But not once in all those years
Has lion, dog, or bird that sweeps the air
Looked there, oh, look. Looked there.
Ah, God, the stars. Oh, look, there!
It is as if all time had never been,
Nor Universe or Sun or Moon
Or simple morning light.
Those beasts, their tragedy was mute and blind,
And so remains. Our sight?
Yes, ours? to know now what we are.
But think of it, then choose. Now, which?
Born to raw Earth, inhabiting a scene,
And all of it no sooner viewed, erased,
As if these miracles had never been?
Vast circlings of sounding fire and frost,
And all when focused, what? as quickly lost?
Or us, in fragile flesh, with God's new eyes
That lift and comprehend and search the skies?
We watch the seasons drifting in the lunar tide
And know the years, remembering what's died.
