Love isn’t control.
But it isn’t absence either.

It’s something harder:

learning how to hold
without closing the fist.

“Close Enough to Love” — a spoken-word duet.

🎧🎵 Dialogue of Stance and Burden (Lyrical Duet) 🎶 🔊 A Dialogue on Freedom, Control, and the Tension of Intimacy

A trip-hop spoken-word duet exploring love, control, and freedom, where intimacy becomes a negotiation between stance and imposition.

Artifex Machina Mythos

A new spoken-word piece exploring the tension between freedom and control in relationships.

Not as opposites—but as forces that coexist, and often conflict.

The idea:
love isn’t something you solve,
it’s something you negotiate continuously.

“Close Enough to Love” — a spoken-word duet.

Useful-needless Rhapsody - #ConceptMusic

"The world is full of useful-needless music, just listen to it carefully."

Useful-needless #music is music that pretends to be useful, while this use is completely needless. It's the musical counterpart to my wife's useful-needless things (object art): https://phaenomanie.de/nutzhafte-dinge/

More useful-needless information: The piece is more than 15 minutes long.

Btw, "useful-needless" is a rough translation of the German word "nutzhaft".
