There’s a distance between human personalities

So strong that not many can accept it

If in fact you do look closer

Waves of detachment will seem to come over

Blade Runner (End Titles) Cover

 

This is the cover that I made of the End Titles, taken from the Blade Runner Soundtrack, originally composed by Vangelis.

“The feelings that hurt the most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd: the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are. I don’t know if these feelings are a slow madness born of disconsolation or if they’re reminiscences of some other world in which we’ve lived—jumbled, criss-crossing remembrances, like things seen in dreams, absurd in the form they come to us but not in their origin, if we knew what it was. I know these thoughts of the emotion ache bitterly in the soul. Our inability to conceive of anything they could correspond to, the impossibility of finding a substitute for what they embrace in our imagination. But what remains from feeling all this is an inevitable disaffection with life and all its gestures, a foretasted weariness of all desires in all their manifestations, a generic distaste for all feelings. In these times of acute grief, it is impossible - even in dreams - to be a lover, to be a hero, to be happy. All of this is empty, even in our idea of what it is. Life is hollow, the soul hollow, the world hollow. All gods die a death greater than death. All is emptier than the void. All is a chaos of things that are nothing. And in the bottom of my soul, as the only reality of this moment - there’s an intense and invisible grief, a sadness like the sound of someone crying in their room. In these random impressions, and with no desire to be other than random, I indifferently narrate my fact-less autobiography, my lifeless history. These are my confessions, and if in them I say nothing, it’s because I have nothing to say.”

Hariot - Polytechnica (Jackie Farrow remix)

Hariot are having their album coming out soon and being friends of mine, I did a remix on one of their songs called 'Polytechnica'. Give it a listen.

Playground Movement

Used a custom home-made film scan technique. Not bad at all if you can't afford a film scanner.

Drive Fast On Empty Streets

I've been working on 2 new tracks for the past few days. One is a remix of a song by Hariot (http://soundcloud.com/hariot/polytechnica) which will probably be featured on their upcoming album and the other is a cover of Vangelis - Blade Runner (End Titles), as part of a competition curated by Ough Ezine (http://www.ough.gr), a tribute to 30 years of Blade Runner. Stay tuned for more info. In the meantime,
