about

This is original music based primarily on the musical Phineas can be heard commenting via a series of whispered vocal loops, mixed with a woman talking about the yuppified neighborhood, Generation X's parents, homelessness and social isolation sampled from NPR radio.

Note that this piece was made around 2002, well before the current cultural dialogue about 'the singularity' heard so much in the tech field literature of the post 2010 era. The lyrics are taken from a poem written by Phineas well before even 2002.

lyrics

No go on and pick that up tomorrow
No go on and pick that up tomorrow
No go on and pick that up tomorrow
No go on and pick that up tomorrow

....

It's not really breaking down, it's changin'
It's not really breaking down, it's changin'
It's not really breaking down, it's changin'
It's not really breaking down, it's changin'

....

It's a stress when things are re-arrangin'
It's a stress when things are re-arrangin'
It's a stress when things are re-arrangin'
It's a stress when things are re-arrangin'

....

Why don't you get something good to eat now?
Why don't you get something good to eat now?
Why don't you get something good to eat now?
Why don't you get something good to eat now?

....

Why don't you find someone nice to meet now?
Why don't you find someone nice to meet now?
Why don't you find someone nice to meet now?
Why don't you find someone nice to meet now?

....

Want to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep
Want to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep
Want to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep
Want to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep

....

Dwell in deepest deepest deepest deeps
Dwell in deepest deepest deepest deeps
Dwell in deepest deepest deepest deeps
Dwell in deepest deepest deepest deeps

Dwell inside the singularity
Dwell inside the singularity
Dwell inside the singularity
Dwell inside the singularity
