about

This music took root and grew during the first UK lockdown period from March 2020. With the chaos and destructive political fallout post Brexit in the UK, ongoing divisiveness of Trumpism in the USA and growing Populism worldwide, this music is a statement and response to the the illusion of human reason and logic in the face of the true issues of our times, i.e. the Climate Crisis and Mass Extinction.

lyrics

El vortice del desconocimiento. (The vortex of the unknown)

En el laberinto que he creado buscando satisfaccion. (In the labyrinth I built searching for fulfillment)

hay chispas creativas y felicidad. (there are creative sparks and bliss)

que el tiempo lleva al vortice del desconocimiento. (that time carries to the vortex of the unknown)

y sigo buscando el aliento perdido en mis pensamientos. (and I continue searching for my breath lost in my thoughts)

En el laberinto que he creado, pienso que se lo que hago. (In the labyrinth I built, I think I know what I am doing)

A veces casi acierto pero la Naturaleza me lleva y me muestra. (Sometimes I almost get it right but Nature takes me and shows me)

lo pequeño e impotente que soy. (how small and powerless I am)

A una con la raza humana. (At one with the human race)

A una con la raza hermana. (At one with the sister race)

Me siento. (I feel)

Me siento. (I feel)

Me siento. (I feel)
