about

I (grilly) wrote the main body of lyrics trying to express something between disdain for magic and amazement at the truly fractal nature of reality. I don't think there universe is going to end in 2012, thanks Terrence McKenna, and i don't think the universe is a 4-dimensional embryo, thanks Grant Morrison, but i do think Novelty 'Theory' is fascinating; the more interactions between people, the greater the global consciousness. The Dancing Machine Elf thing is another McKenna idea, which i love even if it's silly. It's about enjoying being lost in chaos, self-creation.. stuff that's very difficult to express in object/subject based language.
The point is, there are more connections inside people than between them, and if we increase the connections between us we'll make ourselves into a giant brain. That's one point, anyway. oh, and that recursion is the key to consciousness, i think i read that somewhere.

lyrics

I feel seasick
Sailing chaotic waves
We Bite our own tail
Resonance Cascade

The universe is not listening

The universe does not care

The universe is fragile


We are Cantor dust
Lost in the Julia set
Everything is almost empty
But look towards the edge

The universe is not listening

The universe does not care

The universe is fragile



An infinite detail
That generates itself
The same on every level
A dancing machine elf
If we just talk to each other
We can magnify our brains
Building something of beauty
Bigger than our games
