We’re all feeling it. That creeping sense that something is deeply, even fundamentally wrong. Let’s call it the “Post-Corona-Syndrome”. Technology, social media… tracking us on these fucking smartphones. Modern Western society embraced the promise and creeping of technology long ago- all this technology would soon “ease the burden of man”. By now, we sense the …
All music or art just wasn’t created for everyone to understand or share equally. That may sound harsh in our altruistic age. Nevertheless, pretending that art doesn’t exclude strikes me as rather ridiculous and frankly a lie. Some music, like other activities, requires certain surrender. A need for self-submission before the greater discovery. Those blissful …
All the animals come out at night – whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. -Travis Bickle The New York of Travis Bickle, Stanley Kubrick and Roman Polanski is real- Byzanz 2.0, a modern Moloch/Metropolis literally build on …
Music is a fascinating beast. Twisting and turning, contorting when you least expect. And the changes, the innovations are going to happen when very few are looking.

It may still be their vision of the music, I would never dispute that. Nevertheless, so many external factors play a role in the development that is difficult to control …

When I’m into one of these periods, little else is going to satisfy my mood or hold my attention. I’ll need a full week or …
The TX9000 understood that it wasn’t possible for its feelings to be real. Any sense of happiness, revenge, or even jealously was a creation of the Tyrell Corporation using the most advanced AI technology known. Whatever was “felt” within its hardware was merely a programmer’s description of a human emotion. Nevertheless, this programmed emotional responses …
If I had to sum up the track ‘Deathvox’ in two words, I could describe it as Neolithic meets Industrial. 5:24 minutes of frenzied screeching synths, Temples own distorted voice terrifying throughout, and a tribal beat that might be more at home in the middle of the woods at a Bacchanal. Vines crawling up trees …
Work was never really finished for the employees of Rextel Corporation. So when R24 and Q103 would glaze out beyond the huge window of their Life Dome, they knew they were taking the time. Both lived within a vast territory called “Life Dome 3”. By 2050 most of the world’s population lived within similar facilities. …
All we really have is the promise contained within the present moment… I want to hear something new That was how Russ Curry, President of Curious Music concluded our interview.
