Awake to the Sound (CD Demo Version)
[From the Left]
From ages hence, we revisit an old scene of despair and dismay.
Except this time, the colours envelop over the subject matter.
Paintings are created at the command of an engineer’s finger and a producer’s third eye.
The sonic textures have been pixelized and the lyrics are spoken with binary tongues.
When he splatters the paint,
it descends downward
But takes a permanent shape
By sun and road, for all to see.
The spectators are witnesses to a revelation
And art is exalted to the highest realms
But then, drowns into the sea and only a few catch a final glimpse of a dying light
[From the Right]
Could it be that confessions take place on the other disc?
Is it possible that another layer of human frailty is exposed (later subject to decay)?
Clarity is certainly present even in the company of entopic outputs.
The landscape of sound and architecture has achieved stability on the unpredictable slopes of valleys.
In spite of renovations, the voice can still be distinctly heard
Reiterates the same thing (what do you expect? it’s not like every generation reinvents the wheel)
But nests itself into a new world of oscillators and possibilities.
For myself, I’m aware that I have miles to go before I sleep… but this journey is very interesting…
(So much for closure)
