First Steps

I'm the proud father of a brand new baby.
I'm not talking about Iva's kiddo (don't tell her, she'll freak!); that's still a few months due. No, I'm talking about my very first beat! Recently I got myself some software and started playing.
Of course I was unfortunate enough to lose my first project due to technical errors, but apparently it was meant to be cause I immediately went to work on a second one which turned out to be quite good! I had already written a piece of text and it fit the sound perfectly. With the beat ready, it was easy to complete the lyrics and hence "Eyes Wide Shut" was born.

Yes indeed; named after the movie with Tom Cruise who discovers some secret society of perverted elitists. I'll not spoil the movie so I leave it at that, but it's enough to understand the message of the song; you are responsible for keeping your eyes shut.

I've already started on something new, I'm still unsure what it's gonna be; maybe some drum 'n' bass actually! Beat making is easier for me than composing with my limited musical knowledge. But man, producing music is not easy, at all. Especially the fine tuning takes a lot of effort. Little things here small things there; if it aint perfect it aint worth it. Mastering a track is something I'm still clueless about; you play with all the buttons on the screen and when you think it sounds decent, you put on some Rick Ross and you just get blown away. How do they do that? Pro's I tell you, pro's.

Not that becoming a professional producer is something I want to do anyway; I just wanna be able to make some music so I can express myself. When I get home I'm taking my mic with me so I can actually record some tracks while I'm traveling around.

As for Art of Living stuff, we're doing pretty well here in Leipzig; we got a hall, and some people. Not enough but we still have time to get more. Also I want to organize a concert for the MDGs or Millenium Development Goals set by the UN for 2015. This process needs to be speed up cause our leaders have been slacking big time. Oh yea right, charity doesn't get you paid; the world is easily understood when you realize how shallow society is; taking more than giving. Karma can't be escaped tho; motherfuckers will get served. A cold dish.

Anyway, plan is to invite local bands for the concert, and have myself do the opening act. But that is still far away; bureaucracy ain't my friend cause I don't have time to deal with her. Paperwork is given to those who do not have the money to buy their way through. There is more trust in the paper than in the people; something must be terribly wrong. Time for war, destroy it all so we can build a proper system next time.

Man I must've drank something wrong, whatever I start talking about I end up spitting shit about the world. Whatever, I don't care. Why do we care so much about money when it's value can diminish to zero just like that? Money doesn't hold any inherent value; it is our trust in it that gives it value. So when the economy crashes, it simply means we're losing trust in our money. Why build society around something that is so fragile and so easily manipulated? Our civilization has no roots, we don't know who we are, we don't know why we're here. And MTV aint gonna give you any answers; it just distracts you from what it going on.

Wake the fuck up.

The only terrorists in this world are those who bring fear in our hearts. It's the worst disease you can be infected with. It is not some made up group of Arabics who preach their beliefs that make you fear; it's the media who show us a twisted image of other people; our people. The only thing that keeps our perverted society alive is ignorance.
