Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I'm a fan of Zachary Kondak for quite some time now, no matter in which incarnation he releases his exceptionally weird avantgarde albums. Currently, the moniker is "Y/N". In the very beginnings, it was "Son of Cepheids". In between, there was a short period of time with names like "INZ" (I'm not Zach) and "Just Cruise" occurring. Nevermind, the equation "Zach is Zach" is valid all the time, even if Zach asserts that he's not Zach. You know what I mean? Well, anyway... just listen to the songs. Favorite track: David Bowie’s Here.

Hey *clears throat* Hey Hey hey HEY! Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Aliens from space Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Don’t you make me wait Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Aliens in space Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Don’t you make me wait I’m gonna make a deal with you My fleshy little head inside a blender Don’t you see your mind, it is see-through I wanna see through to its center Yeah, NO NO NO NO NO NO Here! Your life You died But backwards in time Survived the night The darkest in your life But now your mind Seems broken in the light Eternal glass reflecting all that’s passed Your life is now! Your life is I keep it all inside my head HEY! Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Aliens in space Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Don’t you make me wait Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Aliens in space Gimme the rhythm Gimme the rhythm Don’t you make me wait Moe: art and oneness, I seek it all. Aliens: why don’t you seek paying attention to the road, you know we’re gonna get lost. Moe: I’m empowered by the work that’s laid out in front of me. I’m empowered by the work. Aliens: Well I’m empowered by not dying and remaining alive, umm… Moe: You think you’re alive now? If you’re alive and you understand life, can you create life?… *SEXUAL CAR CRASH*

My body is aligned in total calm The fate and the name of these cold green insides Drive me to slide into the past as colors shift The time (that we spent here) starts folding again Don’t make me spend… Another day like this, it’s hot My image gets funky, it’s rotting like trash It’s in my… Skull Making it squeeze Squeeze out the cheese Don’t make me eat We’re drilling it out Don’t even think about it We’re drilling We’re drilling it out Don’t think about it Tuck into the neverending power The moments you know where you are are the frown Never leave town! It’s burning down, the river flows I climbed down the mountain and so did my head Roll down my… Skull Making it squeeze Squeeze me out please I’m eating me I’m eating me I’m eating me I am too All I have is eyes I look around no one knows all of my sins But all know some And I know some of what they know My friendships are rattling I’m losing my mind Please make me blind And drill it out This skull is full

My meat gets sucked into the machine A missing piece or cog here I fit inside the system But I fade Some are much better Make you feel real Life can take it back from you My friends are leaving me by the road I walked down On my..

I got some glass Got some glass inside my head, I got I got some glass Got some glass inside my head I don’t know what, I saw nothing I was swelling letting all of the Blood all around, no Tears maybe fall Take it for Take a fall for my Make me feel good Make me feel so good yeah I got some glass Got some glass inside my head No more blood in my head Just some glass and something else Thoughts much stronger than I recall Brightened by the sharpened edges Of these (glass) houses that I have let fall No more blood Inside these walls there’s No more blood Inside these walls there’s On(ly)... By the time I have made a decision By the time The world has already Moved on Oh! If you could see this fall The houses used to stand so tall Oh! If you could see this fall The houses used to stand so tall Take a look at this moment Does it feel like a prison? Of course, why not? Oh Pee Shaw, oh Pee Shaw! Buzz of, why not? Existence makes you feel so small? Not like that, here watch this! Oh! Pain pain pain pain! Oh! Pain pain pain game! Oh! The pain of existence! Oh, the pain of existence Can’t take a look at these thoughts These scary thoughts Step back, hold tight Make up your mind! Should I feel these thoughts? From afar, oh so far Oh yeah! My mind’s a simulated mind Keep it cool, oh so cool Like ice, oh ice Like the glass inside my head Knowledge isn't dangerous But thoughts they can be laborous Keep your mind in simulation mode So thoughts don’t make you anxious Anxiety’s the enemy The fear of future actions Cause the time consideration’s Simulated in the moment Keep your mind in simulation mode So thoughts don’t make you anxious Knowledge isn't dangerous But thoughts they can be laborous My mind is a simulated mind I’ve got some glass Got some glass inside my head I’ve got some glass Got some glass inside my head We are the beings simulating human kind In a kind of hyper-mega-ultra-conscious-complex Take from our kind, simulate your mind! In your mind’s eye, I spy and image of a mind’s mind’s eye What if I try to be simulated and I die because I can’t be simulated three times? We are the beings that simulated the beings that simulated human kind And well, I’m here to tell you that You can be simulated as many times as you like My mind is a simulated mind My mind is a simulated mind Knowledge isn't dangerous But thoughts they can be laborous Keep your mind in simulation mode So thoughts don’t make you anxious Anxiety’s the enemy The fears of future actions Cause the time consideration’s Simulated in the moment Keep your mind in simulation mode So thoughts don’t make you anxious Knowledge isn't dangerous But thoughts they can be laborous So keep your mind in simulation mode So thoughts don’t make you conscious Knowledge isn't dangerous But thoughts they can be laborous

I’m a lone wolf, baby! Got nothing to say about that I know who I am, no need to attack If you think that you are better Well, I got one dang question for you No need for questions And I don’t think I’m any better than you But do you wanna be alone For the rest of your life? Yeah me? I’m an empath baby Can feel what you’re feeling I got your mind inside of mine too I’m an american I’m an american I’m an american man I know what I am and I got a plan I’m an american- U I’m an american- S I’m an american man - A And I don’t wanna hear why that might be bad I got to I got to live my life The only way I know how Uh oh, I’m an american- U I’m an american- S I’m an american man - A Isn’t it a little bit suspect That you gotta separate yourself to feel good? Isn’t it a little bit tricky To love yourself when you set yourself apart? Maybe no man is meant to go alone It ain’t a masculine thing to wanna stay on your own, I said No man is meant to go it alone ‘Cause no human life can sustain itself in isolation Born of men I was born a man This is MY bourdain And you can’t understand That’s the thing about me, is that I’m a lone wolf And I must protect the world I must protect the world by leaving the world ‘Cause I’m a scary man I’ve got dark, twisted thoughts Inside of my little tiny evil head It’s a simulation A confirmation engine The things that you are thinking The thoughts that make you feel like you should be alone Are the ones that will kill you, uh oh! I guess it is a little bit suspect That I love the ones around me I guess it is a little bit fishy That I hate it when I hurt them ‘Cause maybe no man can be perfect Maybe I’m just like everyone else And maybe I can want to be better But maybe I’ll still slip up sometimes

The gaslighter: *passes Pee Shaw the pipe* okay, you’re gonna wanna like hold that in. Oh dude, I know what’ll be perfect for this situation, I’m gonna go pop on some s----[LYRIC REMOVED BY REQUEST OF CEASE AND DESIST]. Yeah, so just like lay back whenever you feel like you’re ready to do whatever and just remember that, you know, it’s all part of this plan you know. We’re actually all inside of your head. The thing about reality is that there’s actually bounds between you and the… *not understandable hyper-language*... there is actually no big other in this way, so. Yeah, you’re just gonna wanna relax. What? I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain No I can’t I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain No I can’t remain In the human, the human race In the human, the human race Here, here Oh, I wanna be happy here Oh, right here with my family and my friends Oh, I just wanna be happy here Inside of my head I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain Here inside of my head I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain Here inside of my… (Here in my) head they start to multiply Ideas of dying in really strange ways But not to end my life But to begin here a new one, ooh yeah Here here Here inside your head You can forget the past To move on is just the same as healing For you are not Who you were last year Or the year before that, no You were younger then And now you’re a( )lone, lone wolf Moe: well, the things inbetween thing that are make the difference. It’s the uhhh much hard… you know what I’m talking about? It’s th-e… things -er. Can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain Here in my head I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain I can’t remain Here in my head They seem to multiply Ideas of dying In really Strange Ways But not to end my life To begin here A new one Here in the eternal light Of the orb that had saved my life Here with the eminence and the glory That saved my life Oh, here Here inside of your head I’m david bowie I know it can hurt sometimes uh oh Just to get yourself out of your bed But you’ll be better now You’ll forget her face And all the pain’s been erased You wake up and cry tears of joy It’s time to die It’s time to forget the past Let it die and fade away In both directions in time, me and my simulations sing in unison: I, I’m done; done forcing things out of this life. I love being kind and doing nice things for those around. My eyes have been opened by light and happy thoughts. I swear I won’t go back this time inside my mind. When I hurt people, I feel bad.

about

Introduction to Part I: It’s Glass:
The glass-brained aliens notice a small “moment of meat” wedged in a vent at the back of the hyper-mega-ultra-conscious-complex (Manufacturer: Glass House Simulation Works, Model: GG05-Vertigo). The meat is identified as Moe (internal simulation nomenclature: Pee Shaw), a moment of meat with a taste for self destruction. Moe is convinced of its own infinite shame-drive- a confirmation-engine that creates vortices of implosive spirituo-gravitational-recursion inside of Moe’s meat-brain-juices. Moe thinks these vortices can pressurize Moe’s skull to a torturous degree; driving Moe to lash out by violating its meat prison in most vile and traumatic ways. This is of course not actually the case, and the glass-brained aliens are forced to initiate the long reconditioning procedure to help transfer this young moment of meat back onto the silicon chips of the hyper-mega-ultra-conscious-complex, where Moe can ultimately realize the internal glass that can reflect the eternal light of love.

About the Glass Albums:
The Glass Albums were created mainly during two distinct periods. The first period of work took place between March 2019 and July 2019. This first period was a time of great turbulence for me; I was frequently moving around, living in many different locations all across the USA. Perhaps due to this turbulence in part, I found myself unable to focus on just about anything, including my music; so, I created a massive amount of unfinished recordings during this time. Following this period, I moved in with my father and became exceedingly depressed due to my seeming inability to reliably complete or achieve things. I felt unable to control my own actions and became angry with myself and who I am. The huge number of unfinished recordings I had around me constantly reminded me of my inability to direct my own energies- my inability to commit- my inability to create. I felt like I was a loser by all of my own measures and I feared I was a disappointment to everyone around me. By some chance, I wound up losing my laptop with all this unfinished work shortly after entering into this depressive phase. This wound up being a great thing for me in a way; I purchased a new laptop and began work on what eventually became the Skyboat album. Again by chance, shortly after releasing Skyboat, I found my old laptop that I had thought was gone forever; and so I was able to revisit all the unfinished work from a new context- a context where I had begun to prove to myself that I can still create. In February of 2020, I resumed work on these tracks, eventually finishing all 14 tracks within that same month. These 14 tracks constitute the Glass Albums. The Glass Albums represent a reconnection with myself, both through their content, and through this story of their making. I hope the Glass Albums can help others on their path towards loving and respecting themselves.
