No state or organization has the right to turn living beings into weapons of war. All systems that try to do so are to be refused. Borders are imaginary lines, drawn to degrade humans to objects. Capitalism and fascism are two sides of the same coin. Shatter the coin!

-

A couple of months ago, I purchased what people call a dumbphone; one for hardhats - it is sturdy, private, and [most importantly] contains an old camera which makes weird, dreamlike obsolete images. I am outside a lot and photograph things. I have collected many photos on my website, but there are also eerie videos that I have taken, with artifacts of light and strange noises from tinny speakers.

The track is the result of blending such a video - taking during a ride home from distributing leftist political pamphlets in the surrounding hamlets - with poetry I've grown to love and immediate synth sounds that I composed in LMMS inspired by the Berlin School and the weirder sides of electronic music.

The cover photo was taken by the same camera in an abandoned military complex close to my hometown. The building is almost completely gutted, full of trash, art, and a feeling of misery and wrongness permeates the place. It is lost - who knows for how long?
