Es Ist Stahl

by Y/N

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I haven't been on "Y/N's" site for ages. Shame on me! I've been too busy with some unfortunate private things, losing track of what's going on in the music world. So I've missed out on the recent music released by Zachary Kondak, which is just plain awesome. Moreover, I've found that there are giant gaps in my "Y/N" collection, which I'll have to address subsequently. This EP in a nutshell: Exciting synths, weird vocals - avantgarde for fans who love the genre to be pushed to the limits. Favorite track: Behind the Glass.

about

Part 4.

Moe is once again out of the "simulation". Outside of the simulation now exists a complex and highly advanced but exploitative version of American society (lol). Artificial Intelligence and universal surveillance are attempted as solutions to all of the corruption and exploitation. Constant surveillance leads to mass paranoia and so the population begins to isolate themselves more and more to avoid the watchful eye of technology. Sadly however, a corrupt military has already begun to eliminate the younger generations' meat-minds and replace them with computer chips to siphon even more money away from The Department of Education- their thinking here is that it’s a lot easier and cheaper to send computer-brained kids through primary school. This is terrifying to Moe, since this military tech seems similar to the GBAs simulation technology- the implications here are terrifying. Being afraid of what this society might do to him, Moe seeks a simple role as a Distributed Solutions Deployment Expert (DSDE) at the local circuit city (still open in this reality complex). At this job, Moe quickly develops a case of extreme alienation, eventually driving him to suffer a major break from reality that lasts for months. During this break from reality, Moe experiences being picked up by the FBI and being “re-simulated” as "Joe Biden 5". It’s during the re-simulation process that Moe starts to realize what’s been going on; this spot- this moment of meat in the universe is far more complex than Moe had first thought. For months, Moe experiences a fever-dream of unknown complex-order, where he sees himself assassinate the president of the United States, only later to experience being that same president; traversing death and the “afterlife”. Moe also experiences the trial that he is put through after killing the president. The order of events are unknown. Moe is back at Circuit City now- they say he went into a “fugue state” and was hospitalized for months. The president has been assassinated by a clone in the interim. Everything is Fine?
