Creating A (New) Golden Decade

Kiyoshi Koyama: „What would you like to be ten years from now?“
Coltrane: „I would like to be a saint.“

The new decade greets with golden sunshine. Only the stars can tell how long it will last, but they were hiding behind a thick curtain of gunpowder smoke. It‘s up to us then to paint our future. To turn this new decade into a golden one - this time for real.

I said it before: every new universe begins in sound. Its vibrations determine the nature of future ripples. Yes, we may live in times of instant culture where only the new, only the immediate, only the here and now seem to matter. Currently, dance music culture seems to be a perfect reflection of this mantra but it is a common misconception that dance music and club culture are about a hedonistic way of life. Listening to music and dancing to it doesn’t help us escape the world, it helps us live in it.

„The Impossible attracts me,“ Sun Ra once said, „because everything possible has been done and the world didn’t change.“

Let’s strive for the impossible then, with art being the medium and the message. Transposing abstract thoughts into concepts and materializing those concepts into objects of sound and art. Let us become new world system builders. Science Fiction doesn’t predict the future, it determines it. Let’s synthesize the omniverse, then.
