Soft Armor: open source defence mechanism
an essay written by me and Lutz Hengst on society, defence behavior, armor and military clothing in general throughout ages and how we merge and separate ourselves from our environment in order to stay safe.
enormous thanks to @swantjemartach for the opportunity and her great support!
very happy to finally have this thing out!

Your children are only the reflection of yourself.
A superstitious exploration of the relation between the biological human and the artificial double - while the first one is intimidated, the other observes and learns.
The human urge to control in order to avoid threats always comes with the ability to manipulate - in traditional sense: voodoo practices found in every culture. In a modern sense: hacking, scamming, spamming.
It is always about invading one system and imposing your own rules.

another collab with my fav @manuelcyrill aka A_Phan
every time i work with soft matter, something about vulnerability comes out. the word itself is rather difficult, with a connotation not very positive: someone is negatively condemned for being able to get wounded - woundable. Its rather a strength than a failure. but the rabbit behind the curtain is making sure no one comes across to do it harm - sweet, cute, fearful and probably armed.
first piece from a series of four. the piece was created for an EP with four tracks, while the one you are listening to is currently my favorite. more to come when i feel like posting them.
listen to @manuelcyrill while purchasing this artwork. dm for details.

WISHLIST
album cover for @manuelcyrill aka A_Phan - my favorite collaboration of 2024!
Looking forward to the future!
usually a wishlist generates while the head is on the pillow, not doing anything with the rest of the body. anxiety arises and in the resting head a strong desire evolves. a true parade of unfulfilled wishes that line up, desiring to be implemented. itâs a rave. the anxious line becomes an anxious list, that a dead body leaves on a pillow. quite dark, isnât it? well, then listen to the music.
thanks to @kobermann__ A.T.C. Records

seven stages of hell
from design to implementation
hell is a place where i will get tortured after life. but i am am already torturing myself here. every desire and longing that i have tortures me. love and admiration is a torture. in the seventh circle of hell i get what i love the most and stay forever in the moment of all those processes that come later: ecstasy, peace, fear, disappointment, fulfillment, emptiness. i guess that love is the greatest punishment given to me - the reason to create and destroy. its a constant soft and brutal circulation of devouring and digestion.
