How will we weather the storm? What is the psychology of a society on the verge of destruction? How do we bridge the gap between societal preservation and individual relativism? Are we not just trapped in an existentialist wakedream, where the issues are obvious but the solutions seem unnavigable? How can we confront the wall of negativity? Are we just stuck within the same bounds capturing our supposed enemy? What is simple? Where do we fit in and where do we stand out? When do we stop critiquing and start enjoying? When do we shut up and when do we scream?

Form does not necessarily follow function, but they are in constant interplay with each other.

Ain't nothing real until we make it so. Words to live by if you don't want to die before you're dead.

This is real good.

Absolute hypocrisy is a hypocritical absolution. Once you hold absolute truth, you've condemned yourself to never hearing again. A chosen deafness upon a created silence. We are only the world we create.

James Blake - Retrograde (Live on 89.3 The Current)

Find that missing note that he's grooving to. It's there.

Is life complicated, or do we complicate life?

What side of the two way mirror are you on?

Music that transports you. I used to be all about groove. But it can also be meditative and transformative. This is beauty.

This clip demonstrates how much process shapes the creation and performance of music. It is easy to record and play, but there is something very impressive and soulful about electronic music done this way.

Confusion

Good art explicates the human condition, namely the confused nature of our existence. Our very being is confusing - when one obvious detail is put to scrutiny it becomes unclear. This in a way reveals the quantum nature of our existence, that at the core of it we are just vibrating matter.

(The title is the link to the speech)

"In this context education has a vital role to play. If automation and technology is accompanied as it must be with a full employment, then the leisure time available to man will be enormously increased. If that is so, then our whole concept of education must change. The whole object must be to equip and educate people for life, not solely for work or a profession. The creative use of leisure, in communion with and in service to our fellow human beings, can and must become an important element in self-fulfilment."

As a member of the working class, I am anti-work. I think this is common among working class youth who've rejected the protestant work ethic, American Dream myth of previous generations. Production has developed to a point where everyone could be minimally "employed." Where everyone's basic needs are met, we all contribute a little, and the rest of our life is dedicated to higher pursuits.

What a brilliant life we have within reach.

WORD TO DONKY PITCH

#SoundCloud #Donky Pitch #Thug Pop #Lockah #Donky #Pitch

Just know it. Know that you're right and ok. Confidence is the point where intent meets desire and overcomes doubt.

I can't stop jamming to this entire album, Gloss Drop. Drumming is just grooving.

Bending Boughs

I've seen ugly / Stabbed, raped, overdosed, beaten, poor, robbed, admitted, evicted

The ugliness of violence we do to each other. Unnatural violence, superfluous and grotesque / A society built on violence makes ugliness a symptom, result, necessity. I've witnessed these things, so have you. Embodied. We face these crimes everyday - that shell of a person, that angry person, that person you think is crazy / They see it. They live it.

Do you feel it too? Embodied. The violence that now sits on your shoulders, bending the boughs of your tolerance like the chickenhawk of hate / Those boughs spring once we confront the ugly avian. They settle and bloom once spring arrives, now weighed down with the foliage of equality and love - those frightful words to the brutish bottom-feeder.

I've seen the ugliness. I've been ugly. But now we shed what we once knew to be our own self. We are born anew. Now seeking liberty destroying our old self by accepting it, moving and breathing new life into our lost and empty souls.

Every movement now profound. Each action with intention. Each thought moving to towards clarity. Let us create our new society upon these tenets. Let us live to the fullest extent of our species being. No limits! No borders! No boundaries! No toiling!

(Each person we know is a part of us)

Tonight's musical accompaniment. I think it's weird that I listen to electronic music. But it's honestly changed my life.
