🥨 I WISH I WERE Uñ GëRMAN 🍻 [TeçKnØ mix]
There are many levels to this song/video... Watch & listen closely - The humor flies at HYPERSPEED as I convince the other cultures that they want to be German too (...then change my mind at the end.) They're not all very good at it, but they are enthusiastic. (The Borg were particularly resistant.) It's not till the curtain call that we find out all the characters were actually played by [SPOILER REDACTED].

It started as just quick joke for my sisters, since we each had years of foreign language & folk dance. What started as nostalgia became an increasingly chaotic collision of childhood memories, culture envy, and techno-fueled LINGUISTIC VANDALISM. The song spirals from folk waltz to existential techno absurdity.

I have been doing some pretty interesting things; with the grammar of time, AI stabilization, perspectives on Recovery, ADHD, LGBTQ issues, African & World unity, & more.

As I've been pulling together decades of works, I'm starting to put it together at https://SynthPoet.manus.space.

​"If you don’t use the verb, you might become the noun."

​History isn't just in the past—it’s a pattern repeating in real-time. When they re-brand persecution as 'public protection' and try to erase our history, our flag, and our humanity, there is only one response.

​We are not minor. We are the many. Recognize the pattern. Stand your ground.

When power pushes people down, push back

Before language split us apart || WITHOUT WORDS

Two bodies breathe through the collapse of definition in this anxious electro-wave meditation on pre-language connection. Hyperpop fractures, sub-bass ruptures, layered male harmonies, and stop-start pulses dissolve the boundaries between self and other, echoing the Buddhist idea that naming creates separation.

This song moves beneath identity, beneath shame, beneath categorization itself, searching for the moment before love, difference, and even individuality required words to exist.

-WITHOUT WORDS-
“Inhale... Exhale...
Inhale... Exhale...”

“Inhale...” Say less
“Exhale...” Feel more, Fall in
“Inhale...” Same pulse
“Exhale...” Same skin
When silence holds us
Life begins

You and me both, same breath
Different names, same hands
I keep my mouth shut
Still you understand

Before the first sound
Made everything divide
I knew your heartbeat
You knew mine

Without words, there is no difference
Between us, betwe-en us
Without words, everything is one
Everything is one
No way to call it different

Your laugh in the doorway
My heart on the floor
We were already
What we wished for

Before the first sound
Before the divide
I felt your heartbeat
You knew my mind

Without words, there is no shame
Between us, betwe-en us
Without words, we are one thing
Everything and more
Everything is love

“Inhale...” Say less
“Exhale...” Feel more, Fall in
“Inhale...” Same pulse
“Exhale...” Same skin
When silence holds us
Life begins

Without words, there is no difference
Between you, between me
Without words, everything is one
Everything is one
Its all the same

Without words, there is just love
Between us, between us
Without words, we are one
Everything is one
Without words... All there is is love

“Inhale... Exhale...”
“Inhale... Exhale...”

FALLING TOGETHER, COMING APART
In 1995 I released a CD of solo music. While the title has been a consistent theme in my life, there was never a song to go with it until now.
