Song For The Modern World

from 2 Smargaid Maerd by mr_mark_dollin

about

Evolving out of an old four channel chord experiment in FT2, this sequence was heavily distorted and filtered lower to create that worried muffled sound. A distant cloud of melody floats in produced from sliding a screw driver over my guitar strings and adding much echo. The words are two versions of the the same recording, one reverberated over the background, and one in the foreground that is time stretched to un-sync with the other. The song has an ‘unfinished accusation’ feel to it, especially as the end sees the chordal notes fall into cloudy sustain and the words simply do no more than just list the problems without suggestion of how things could be improved.

lyrics

All your structure / All your greed / All your filth / All your rationalism / All your systematic behaviour / All your destruction / All your corporations / All your bureaucracy / All your conformity / All your normalisation / All your money / All your deforestation / All your pollution / All your politics / All your ideology / All your technocrats / All your pornography / All your corruption / All your decay / All your decay / All your decay...
