Lyre 04:20
I’m a grown statue Fracture completes me Out of the fragments I recreate myself Fracture will help me Explore the explanations For the creation of inner state Fracture will help me Create a recreation Of the creation Lucy is waiting for me Playing her lyre for me But I will crack And fracture brings out What fracture brings out Now As I stand Alone I will see Lucy is in the sky with liars Playing her lyre on the pyre And I will crack But fracture won’t bring out insides I’m empty inside And that is all right At least I tried Lies are nutrition Nude I’m in mission I lost my vision Yet I’m invisible Lies are nutrition Nude I’m in mission I am invisible Oh, please don’t go faster Lucid I know I want to make it right now I’m going to take it all Lucid I know I want to make it right now I’m going to take it all

Tiger 03:14
Spill the light and keep the night It’s over when we go Now Into the night we bring the light We take it for our own Now A salty liquid Like mascara we apply it To our lashes But strange to stop before we start It’s granted As we take it We shine a light on the light things For them to shine Because we like it We’re afraid of nothing And everything is every thing But nothing is forever Forevermore we try again For evermore we ride into our night To our places Fall or fly For you decide As there’s no ground to run on Shall I just begin now Or shall I wait to understand For you I keep all the mascara That camouflages me We are afraid of nothing But I want to know When I go Is it part of the soul that stays? Or is it nothing All on our own Pleasure We will come We will come and know All afraid of nothing
3.
Ice 03:30
With the eyes The water got crystalized And coats of ice Cover the castle And the icicle lusters Shone a light on the mirror And the crystalized teardrops Would bother your sight Frozen by your ice Splinters in my eye Icicle blind Snow covers Snowdrops like teardrops Uncover Gently in the light of the sight I won’t hesitate Ask for no or yes Under frozen creeks I will take this cold For gold Crystalized The water stays In shape as you carve it But thawing ice Flees its construction And erases All the frozen creeks Flee the taming Blood runs through our cheeks And pulsating All my liquid lies Welling in my eyes Humbling liquid thoughts Seen through shards of glass

Petrichor 03:33
I will ask for Something that’s gone And they will take Another break Break bread Break bones Take sharpened stones And cut and chew While fur is Home for something in the rain Petrichor will rise again I will just throw another stone Maybe I’ll reach the other shore Fine mist My fist I hold on tight To the dark blue bond Of petrichoral voices in the rain Petrichor hit me again I am a mirror So don’t break me My shards might cut you And I’d stay Broken A long as I don’t get Molten In the furnace of death
5.
Egg 03:33
I’m a wave- And promise breaker Passing obstacles like ghosts I’m a wave- And promise breaker Passing obstacles like ocean Build a home from foam Of the sea by the shore Build a castle of foam and dreams With crests of foam on our foreheads Build a castle of foam and dreams And we were delicate and light Naked as we ran into the breakers In our castle of foam and dreams Delicate like crests of foam And we’re shaping rocks and pin bones Carving cockleshells to make them fit our size And we’re shaping little urns of clay For delicate leftovers To feast on them one day And we were delicate and light Naked as we ran into the breakers In our castle of foam and dreams Delicate like crests of foam I’m a wave- And promise breaker Passing obstacles like ocean With crests of foam on our foreheads We’re passing obstacles

Fire 03:42
Fear me lying As the northern sky is playing With the light See the light is fading With our fireside And everything that was old Will turn into gold As we are two dolphins Surfing and morphing Sipping from morphine But steadily growing We’re searching for sin And for synonym I need them To show myself I’m in See me flying With the northern sky And maybe with the light And deny our fading is a Feast of liars And the northern sky a canvas Please deny That it’s all a farce and we are Only servants Last forever And the pigeons In their feathers Catch a spark That sets a fire And a phoenix Rises out of Desire
7.
Boy 03:52
All you know so far Is just what you are In the attic Out we climb and know it I wish I had the patience to wait for the straightening In circles surfaces are fading into My reflections Passing by As I look the mirror is blind Just take me I’m idle You red cheeked deniers Vanity came pleasing All easily and cheesy I wish I had the courage to show up in fancy dress Spinning across the chessboard Disregarding Squares are drawing borderlines Anyhow I’m colorblind I’d rather be on medication than on meditation Enjoy the celebration of my fancy phallus cult My yolk soft as wax Take it and confess I’d rather be on great vacation than on medication Enjoy this dedication of my falling fanciness Cradled by your mass Take it and confess My yolk soft as wax Take it and confess
8.
Leaf 04:25
There’s no place Unless there’s space But space means grace And grace is not Meant to Exist For long In this we’re Full of less-space I don’t want to leave you I just want to love you I only fall in love with changelings I better change before they change me Chase me My heartbeat is a moving sequence I better face an abstract ending Leave/Feel I better face an abstract ending

Green Night 05:27
In white hold Espaliers on the wall Old rose Beneath some hazy green Yellow empress In the morning A rising And some well-shaped pearl white Go out to light Or lie Gently waiting for the first beam Of sunlight In the green night For the first time And here in the garden Where it all began I hide Orangery will lead Into midnight’s old shine Green enlightened Daphne blue sky Drink what eyes saw Out of your paws In the moment In white pearls and gold dew Dreams Awoken for the night Pink moon Under church light Graveyard shine Peacefully standing in row ever since Convinced by doing All harmless and soothing

about

We started as ice sculptures in spring on a chessboard
of pigments. The warm rays melted our shapes and
let us drift apart. A sad thing, for it seemed as if there
was nothing to hold on. We blurred the squares of
idea with our shapeless fluids. One cannot build out
of water, unless one freezes it, or fills it into a vessel,
but it will never stay water in its purest moment,
which is fluidity.
It was hard for me to accept that, for my biggest desire
was to translate my inner pictures into music.
By that time of great fears, I stumbled across Hesse’s
“The Glass Bead Game” and found this beautiful
moment in it: “No permanence is ours; we are a wave
that flows to fit whatever form it finds” and somehow,
I realized that beautiful moments do happen,
whether within, or without and that we cannot put
them into direct shape. We can only learn each
other’s language, or better find an abstract way of
universal translation.
We started as ice sculptures and became little waves
that flowed to fit whatever form we found, and as
we met again and as we dissolved with the pigments
of our sight, we made pictures of beautiful moments
that never happened.
The chessboard we fought on became a canvas.
This publication is meant to be seen as a manifesto
for this process of inner evolutions. To distil the very
essence out of our individual emotional connections
to the record, the support of artificial intelligence
was vital to gain a fair overview on a “boschesque”
pool of feelings and ideas. 2,500 photos of
intimate moments, that had their personal link to
the music, were put into a learning machine,
that spit out the following. The album got entitled
after these pictures of beautiful moments
that never happened.
