Sound of the future
ASCENSION by fatagaga, 2015
Devoted to NORBERTO JURASEK who went into infinity yesterday
I made this tune shortly after my third and deepest Ayahuasca experience in 2015, when my heart was opened up completely to the eternal light of love. Thank you so much, Norberto for bringing us the medicine, guiding us through our work and just for your presence. Farewell brother. Open path!
MEET THE GREAT AGELESS by fatagaga, 2019
Audio drama about a deep Ayahuasca experience.
—
in comes the medicine
disturbing twilight of reality
anxious thoughts & doubtful feelings
overwhelmed jingle-jangled nerves
assaulted by bubbly lively imagery
squirming discarnate snakes & dragons
messengers from the other world
hairy hands & shiny claws
drawing you towards & inside the eternal black
abyss of pain & agony
sins, dirt, deformity & horniness
slime, disgust & lewdness
ancient injuries & childhood drama
whimpering & purging
longing for forgiveness
longing for peace of mind
excruciating darkness of soul
complete destruction of the ego
discomposure & bitter surrender
bad chemical taste & odor
explosions in the sacral bone
flash of lightning in every cell of the body
release, relax now
breath, deep breath
exhale
soaring flights of joy
diamant tears of gratitude
sudden exfoliation of higher levels
unfathomable complexity of vision
light-colored symbols fan out from the heart
love spreads from the anahata
crystal waves vibrate from the third eye
inconceivable & intangible creations
bob up simultanously & multidimensionaly
myness and innerness
witness of the evolving universe
watching the cosmic bloom unfold
waiting for the highest to show up
hoping, begging, crying
open up my heart
please open up my heart completely
who are you
who are you
again darkness & emptiness
again nothingness & stillness
remain silent
no answer
dying breath
dying
the end
inverse
inhale
break through
here it comes
I
I am the ageless
I am the deathless
I am the light
I am
I am
I
I
I

DIVINE WORD MISSIONARIES by fatagaga, 16.07.2019
—
first arrow splits the sky
& spins around to focus
the drug-white nerve net of the city
blood surges from the gully-mouth
like words well out off belly-wounds
welcome the awakened red hot god
one hand thunderclapping
& lightning puncture for the masses
to offend the sun & shut down coziness
heart beat betrays the enemy
his brain is luminous to the fore
open to reveal the codeword
campfires in the desert
incendiary eve of primary strike
smell the odor of his flying breath
a single beam of light
candles the egg-headed mouth
yelling since the big bang
cascades of bodies
deaths and entrances
egression to another nightmare
patriotic songs about
mental void that lasts forever
divine word missionaries
/2019
inspired by Dylan Thomas
and Robert Desnos/
THE WIND BLOWS FORWARD by fatagaga, 27.06.2019
If you think of Gretsch as a Rockabilly guitar, which it certainly is, check this out. She can scream & howl too. I love her.

WIND BLOWS FORWARD
as the wind blows black thru the sky
impaled demon impacts on demand
spits out morbid flesh
& real physical sore blood
shimmering & translucent red
off-color maroon mucous mules
scummy like the subway
& darker than the universe
we all now witness
this artificial desease
penetrating all in a sudden & overnite
flying into our freak-frenzy archaic faces
burned in our hearts & psychic landscapes
each man says the opposite
of the good & the true & the beautiful
stomps with rusty shaky feet
stinky fingers squeezing & chumping
dancing crumbly carbon bones
on dusty & malodorous carpets
scummy like the subway
& darker than the universe
the wind blows forward & the wind blows back
thru rancid cists & incest fences
condemned ships & open chests
scattering our pale peeled grimacing faces
& burnt out hearts & hollow minds

WINE INTO WATER by fatagaga, 2019
—-
WINE INTO WATER
White breasts of the dim sea
twining horses, two by two
wavewhite wedded words
shimmering on the saturnine tide
No more turn aside and brood
upon love’s bitter mysteries
If anyone thinks that I am not divine
I am turning water into wine
I contradict myself invain
no more free drinks
ask nothing more of me
wine becomes water again
A limp black missile
flew out of his talking hands
servant of two masters
the father and son idea
A dull ease of the mind
my father gave me seeds to sow
they sinned against the light
see the darkness in their eyes
Iris open wide in vision
henbane hair & seaweed lashes
we grow fins
and go back in the water again
/26.3.2019
inspired by
James Joyce & Captain Beefheart/

DIRTY by fatagaga, 1999
This track was recorded on analogue 4-track-tape which still was part of my workflow those days though I owned a Mac for quite some time … and I already got the MPC 2000 and the Roland MC 505 … working with these units was like playing instruments, the recording was absolutely live … and in these days I finished to play vinyl records …
the piece relates in many ways to the never realized album „Singularity“ of the year 2007
Nobs Nietzsche, photo by Red Sack, Mexico, 1989
Music from the edge of my mind, 1989
Is it a Nobs Nietzsche or a fatagaga track? … I don’t know. It goes back to the year 1989, when „fatagaga“ was yet unborn. I was deeply impressed by Brian Enos Apollo @ those times. This track is made with old analogue organs, detuned guitars and tape echoes, recorded on 4-track-tape, no synths involved …
