IV DELT∆

Good day! As the vocals are recorded it is easy to finish this blog and start to move on to the next phase of the "production". Bass is going to be recorded within a week from now and recordings of a extra stuff takes place thereafter. Most of the "extra stuff" is recorded as digital instruments but let`s mention that there is going to be a real instrument as well. In addition some extra backing vocals will be recorded too, sang by someone outside the band. Wow, historical! Then, everything is recorded and it is time to start mixing.

As we are talking about a concept EP, in addition to these four actual songs there is also a short intro and outro track and each song is of course made considering its place, track order and lyrics. But now let`s present the fourth, the l
ast actual song of the EP. The awakening journey has led to the point where there is no return, where something needs to be done to make change.

After becoming aware of several upsetting facts instinctively the next arising question is how to change it because the individual can not close its eyes from the problems.

Cultural changes are always very slow. It takes time for people to adapt something new and then to share the new "feature" for the others. When an individual borns into a culture it is quite obvious that the culture will have a huge impact on the individual. It will be a shape or a frame which defines the basic features of the individual. But after all the culture is only a combination of a huge amount of people and their features in one characteristic mass. In that sense the change and "modification" should work vice versa: by changing its behavior an individual can have a huge effect on the culture. After all an individual is only a reflection of its surroundings, just an average of a few other individuals reflecting their features. So by behaving differently, saying anything, even a single glance at a stranger can be the change for someone and therefore lead to a wider change. But no one knows is the change fast enough. What is the rate of change?

So it is time to seize the lifeline, let go the deadline and flow down, wash and unleash the mind and be the change that you want to see. Because if you are not the change, no one else will be either.
Over and out.

I DE∆DLINE

Greetings! After a few months break it is good to get back on the subject. As said in the first writing the musical part of the EP is ready but lyrics are still under work. Fortunately the phrases and words, rhymes and verses accumulate slowly by themselves and in the end somehow they seem to have some kind of thematical connection (or most likely the text makes sense only in the writers mind, we will see).

Eventhough not all of the lyrics are ready there has been some progress. Also the perspective has changed a few times, once very fundamentally because the file of the lyrics was deleted due to broken hard drive. Great! Recalling all of the lyrics hopefully saves all of the important parts and only the meaningless content was lost. Hmm...

In addition to the lyrics the graphical theme has perceived more clearly. Every song of the EP is going to have its own graphics with regard to the content of the song not to mention the thematical graphics of the whole EP. The graphics together will comprise a continuum with beginning and ending for the EP.

So, let`s say something about the first song of the EP. In a head freak enough, a word deadline may create different visions. The first one is probably deadline regarding working, how always have to have a deadline due something has to be finished. The word is also combination of words ”dead” and ”line” (oh, really?). However, these two visions together reflects the current work-orienteed attitude. There is only a thin line between living and dying and that line seems to be money. A job is all that we need, without it we can not get money for living, to pay our rent or mortgage, our car, our clothes etc. Sometime we may notice that most of our earnings are spend to cover the costs arising from something related to working, for example a car. Without that job far away we wouldn`t even need a car necessarily. Suddenly we have a huge debt to pay back just because we needed that car to go to work to earn the money to cover the costs of that same car. And we have a rat race. The same apply to a house and mortgage. We live in a house which is vacant most of the time due to working just to pay back the mortgage of that same house. Dozens of years. The stress is guaranteed. Depression and other deseases arising from working flourish. Nothing is humane or natural.

As we are trapped in the system, where is all this money going? That is an interesting question... Maybe we will find out. Maybe.
