The Future

This is your old pal Curt here.


Once again, talking to himself.

Lost in a viral sea of information.

A blink of an eye.

A speck of dust lost and adrift in a sparkling universe of stars and monsters.

blah blah blah.

We are in the midst of a video podcast to introduce you to our vision.

3 years in the making.

Tales From Beyond the Galactic Fog is upon us.

Please put on your helmets.

@@@(g)alacticSON proudly presents (t)raJEDI@@@















@@@click here to download@@@



This all started when my sister, Claire , was visiting on her Spring Break in mid March. It was late and we were talking about life, philosophy, history, everything under the sun. Suddenly the conversation steered towards classic greek tragedy and universal story archetypes. It led to the simple mentioning of the most iconic fantasy of my childhood, Star Wars. Director George Lucas had presented a visual renaissance while using the classic stories of redemption, good and evil.

This created a wild idea for a podcast. Star Wars. Tragedy. traJEDI. Born. Then and there. Sample, mix, and churn a statement on Star Wars and this connection.


As a kid, I remember my father reading Sci-Fi books nightly, bad Sci Fi movies on the SyFy channel every Saturday; I mean, they could be a "space ship" that was a garbage pail with lights hangin the fuck off it and the man was entertained.

But there was something to its inadequacy.

The new generation will not know how many movies, although with hokey special effects, were magical because they actually weren't very realistic looking. Before Avatar felt like I could meet one of the characters outside the theatre, it became real in our minds. As a kid, watching the hero Luke Skywalker battle Darth Vader, and hearing the revolting screams of his insanity as it is revealed that the cloaked, masked villain is his father, left me stunned. The camaraderie of the rebels, fighting against an Empire, still my most favorite story line. Internally, I feel that rebellion must become one's pursuit of change, and the novel by Albert Camus, The Rebel,probably is an extension of being a Rebel as a kid. But overall Star Wars was the most exciting story I had ever seen or thought about, no matter how many times I watched the series.

Every toy, shirt, halloween costume, each special limited new edition bought with every new tech format, VHS, DVD, was a treasure to behold. Even now, my love affair with Endor can be witnessed in the Redwoods or out back in the Presido of San Francisco where Lucas's global empire resides next to a statue of Yoda. The AT-AT's from Empire Strikes Back were inspired by the cranes near the Bay Bridge. Star Wars has and will always define my innocence and what the human imagination can strive to become in the minds of humans.

And the Prequels are the loss of innocence. Interesting that as Star Wars itself details the tragedy of love and hate, the media franchise itself follows a similar arc amongst many disgruntled fans.

And this thematic connection between Shakespearean plays such as Hamlet or MacBeth and Return of the Jedi became apparent. I like to work in very loose frameworks, anything goes. One of my favorite authors Kurt Vonnegut did this in one of my favorite novels, Timequake, and it has inspired many changes in my life. That's my Holy Book.

So it is with music.

I love these subjects, and I have tried to intertwine as many pop culture, tongue in cheek, and personal experiences into this arrangement of music than any before I've done. Started with (c)osmicCAMBRIAN, but (t)raJEDI is a step further. The beginning and end are remixes of instrumentals where I lend my own vocal inspirations of those pieces, at the beginning of the podcast it's my geppetto persona, (g)alacticSON over DJ Signify's incredible Five Leaves Left, spitting rhymes as the Millenium Falcon hits light speed, and we end over an epic Red Sparowes track with my Kurtz Oneday persona of before like a zombie from the dead screaming like a banshee bein burned alive like a Jawa in the deserts of Tatooine.


The music of the artists are largely represented by modern artists, music happening now, where the future of tomorrow is like 10 light years. Speaking with pennies in their pockets, art for art's sake, filling niches in the iPods and phones of the masses. Some of my favorites but would be Frightened Rabbit, Yeasayer, White Hinterland, Sole, Son Lux, Kid Cudi, Gorillaz, Sparklehorse, Caribou, oOoOO, Die Antwood, White Rings, Subtle, and Red Sparowes. Those are some of my faves but I try and pick songs that are ear worms. They worm their way into your brain to create many multicolored universes.


Put it in your iPod, spend some time downloading from your phone (sorry it's a big file to give quality of sound! Note: if you want a ZIP file let me know and I'll send ya one), and take off in a TIE Fighter, X-wing, AT-AT, or cruise the desert dunes of Millionyoung's Mien. It's all good.

Also, this is a heavily sampled podcast from all over the place: Aeschylus’s Oresteia performed in 1983 on BBC, Star Wars Commericals, Muppet Show, Shakespeare’s Hamlet & Macbeth, Star Wars Public Service Announcement, comedy routine by Eddie Izzard, a movie called Hardware Wars, and many more. Fun stuff.

I keep putting these out because I love trying to make an arrangement that is an experience for all my friends out there living under the hum of a mother culture, a buzz while you rest, it's what i have learned to hear. Window half open, the buzz of the light saber slicing, dicing it's way into my human experience. Music is my life force. For me, this is like going to a store and finding that one antique which speaks from another time. Ben Kinobi in the shadows providing assurances that the Force will guide you and us from the darkest of moments.

My darkest moment was in that dark room in a hospice unit and locking eyes with my father with the hallowing screams of sickness making the pages of my book run its ink. The ending of this podcast goes there and takes out the anger, Emperor Palpatine, screams while shooting jolts of electricity through the writhing body of the last Jedi knight in the universe. My voice crackled, it was pitch black, and I was there vocalizing to the heavens that my father's story feels similar to Darth Vader's. The story of redemption, fallibility, humanity. Without my father's sacrifice and bravery, who would I be? Without his example, while witnessing his own worse obsessions leading to some personal ruin, would I have met Karen, would I be working at the grocery store, conjuring up songs, passionately putting myself in the arts as it was my savior when the world was crumbling around me, when the stress of another test or paper, was like grasping for straws on which would lead to a panic attack over the utter powerlessness one feels in these circumstances. It was the tragedy of the American Dream all around me.

And so, I have to thank my sister, Claire, a budding artist herself, for the inspiration and her bravery facing worse than I ever did. She's the rock to me. Remember, sis, see it through. Get to the canvas. What you got?

I have and I now without further ado, present a labor of love representing my feelings on the human experience and its storytellers, music makers.

And as always, may the schwartz be with you!

(g)alacticSON proudly presents ### (b)roodBLOCK ###


g)alacticSON proudly presents (b)roodBLOCK

Hello fellow human,

Been a rainy season here in San Francisco, snowy in other parts of the US, and disastrous to entire populations on small islands like Haiti.

Where is the world going?
Which part of the slope are we on?

This sort of paranoia just saturates me at this point. Obama came into the office and the country split further, fragmented, and special interests won the day, yet also drove the people to bring back a balance. Therefore, the most consistent thematic element in this block of brooding is . . . change.

Examing change and the thoughts and minds of the people and how hard it is not only to change a financial situation but a social situation, as well. We are at times one voice, connected at all moments, but at others disconnected from real knowledge and social interactions to create sympathy, altruism, and refrain from callous indifference.

But the lines were drawn in the sand long before now, because as the millennium neared, we added wooden poles, then later in to the millennium we built fences, then bricks, then steel, then mines and heavy artillery, till all we became were a series of elephants in the room. In the news we watch, in the people or products we support, the massive division within American society seems to grow, strengthen. But all is not lost, we don't need to agree on many things but respect each other, believe we are striving to overcome this moment, and we need to learn, we need to all grow individually and seek out our dreams while bettering our communities. This is the America that led to its leadership and ever prosperity.

And we all screwed up and played a part in our current situation

Because the American Dream, once aligned with Manifest Destiny across East to West, now continues on in foreign sand and in Walmarts on every block. What once was striving for self improvement and societal commitment has changed to exaggerated aspects of individualism and narcissism. We are not lost, however.

Because we are still these people, even if there are those who have put their own wealth and gain above you and I, those who have taken advantage of our faith in what I have just described as a once robust yet flawed American society. We believed in our leaders to do the right thing, and now we can't seem to trust anyone or anything.

So what to do given this?

Brood, of course.

As I step off the podium, in summary, this is the feeling of what's going on here. Littered within it's 99 minutes of 99 problems examined in 99 different metaphysical ways, you will find many quotes and songs from influential political, social, artistic individuals. Some of which were all of these profession at the same time.

We have hip hop, punk, electronic, rock, and things unclassifiable, because the lines are blurred more than ever and art manifests itself as the ultimate emergent of our people and technology. We can once again explore space travel, and create a universe of positivity and infinity on our own planet.

I hope you enjoy the block. All the thinkers, music lovers, and philosophers are hanging out waiting to speak with you and to listen to you.

So step up to the podium, let your voice be heard.


1. Four Tet- She Just Likes to Fight (In Flight (g)alacticSON remix)
2. RJD2- The Stranger
3. The Knife- The Colouring of Pigeons

Just in time.

I have gift for you to unwrap with several rap (laugh) trax.

I'm your bloody Secret Santa as they say across the pond. But not literally bloody. Wouldn't that be a great horror flick? Secret Santa. "You've Been Naughty, now you're Diced." Potential direct to DVD.

Anyways. Me? Ramble?

Ok, so this podcast has been a true labor of love, and it has taken a few months to conceptualize and organize for optimal listening pleasure. Something for everyone. Rock. Hip Hop. Electro. Reggae. Dance. Metal. Most of it is here for you, as would befit the name cosmic cambrian. My robotic spinning pre-paleozoic molecular minotaurs would destroy the dinos. For sure.

And that's what I have for you to devour. A stomping affair about a cosmic creature coming to rule the earth again. Cosmic bronto's and tyrrano's crushing the countryside with galactic beats and other feats of incredible strength. A running dialogue between man and machine, all that could have been. or bean.

Also included, and the concluding track of the podcast, i am proud to release a new track featuring my good friend, Mad Scientist, and included in the new EP from my project, (g)eppettoGESTAPO, which will be dropping any week now.

I wish everyone a safe holiday and happy new year!

Been a tough year but one of the best. Going to be a great 2010!

Things Rolling, Wind Brewing, Mind Melting

Awww, the gaping laughing and mocking of the absurdity of life.

a book list of sorts. authors and books that pull out your brain stem, they allow your brain to move past the petty facade before us, the rules and regulations and simple solutions and the cars and the media devices that end up dividing but possibly in the end uniting us. it's all before us. and we are apart of this, part of you out there who may be thinking about there being more or the whys the wheres and the hows of mechanical evolution after our physical remodeling, our spiritual disconnected existence. laying awake thinking the same things. what are we doing here? what is the purpose? and that is to speak of it. as Frank Herbert wrote,
"Fear is the mindkiller."

So we work our jobs, so we scrape by in jobs that dont define us but keep us away from familes, from friends, a means to an end, what a house? a box? it is that simple and the hurt of the truth is due. we are grappling for you, we want you to catch us out in the cosmos. to take us down with you, to you, to see what it is this life is about for you, and see who we are? will we even have this opportunity. we feel caged. we feel burdened with relief from escalating costs, a screaming boss, reality TV stagnant to the pull of ideas, of reading, of intellectual excitement, not the class room as this is no means to an end. this is real life. blood and guts and life and death. two brothers making music while a man fornicates and smokes meth. dark yet amongst the light.

the future can be so much brighter. we can all contribute. send me your dreams.

but then i know no one is even listening, i am a man floating through space, screaming and not being heard.

the next EP. Lost in the Fog. Will soon drop.

Mouth of Monoliths























I'd like to take my raw bones &
tear them out,
take a piece of my cheek bone
smash turtle shells
and eat of its innocent meat
my teeth raw, nurtured,
snails across my eyelids
while a bug nit tick takes a bite off
the aphid screams and howls
crying for the mother with
10,000 eyes
a mouthful of signs
spit them out on canvas
as the universe expands and beyond
give me the keys
let me take the wheel
see as i look up in your eye
as the future comes i hit the gas
as the righteous burn alive
on the 180th day of a protest and fast
they are left to die
the bugs all feed on the fortune seeds
planted by the sperm of wallstreet tycoons
forced to where nooses
for the proletariat to choose
and with what weapon
to take out their bellies
and listen to the lies
a boon for
dribblings burst from their mouth
as my eyes left frozen straight
and a petrified bench
is cold
it is isolating
i am freezing
but i cant move
i sooth
i seek
i worship the meek
i do not seek the gold lined
hallways and toilets
for feces to inhabit
on the backs of the broke
tilling poppy fields
and coca plants
owned by mafias
and ghetto gangster crews
i feel the bruise to my
vocal consciousness
rising past the harrowed narrowed horizons
supplyin the rippling diving
done now by the son of my lone star
family character study
waiting for this recovery, as
i see their fingers grappling bones
i see the screen shifting
i see a paradigm shift in blinding light
unknown to the man i was who now is
sitting with his fingers cut up
by the working of middle class hands
i will never take the stand
my mouth wont move
my soul wont bend while
i took the corporate branding
and tattooed their emblem
onto the middle of my face
but my body was full of the universe
each cell in every molecular reaction
as proteins siphon energy for interactions
of the kind to build this body
a reflection of an ever expanding universe
in pyramids
triangles speaking putrid verses
about the hearses of lives we created
due to criteria listed on the inside
on page 40 paragraph number 4
referring to article 1 which states
that the article in which it was originally based on
has now changed and said article
will be strictly enforced
upon the dowry and purse
i live to sing in vacant buildings
to rehearse in living my curses
on hymn books and inertia that
i feel as my heart slows
as my brow wrinkles
as a few hairs gray
as i say i do as
i knew this was the right
sight for my eyes to align with
i can feel the apple and pips
running down the side of
my leg as i lie next to you
the cold winds brewing passions
stashed away awaiting the day,
the minute i touch you
they can never say
there ain't a lot of me in you
and you in eye
as i fight the dawns early light
its delight for the blessing as
i can see slippery black fingers
outpacing my moving shadowy fortress
lingering in the fog
i see them crawling across the room
with little creep eyes staring into the
depths of my mind
witnessing the most disturbing
of memories of actions
and inactions
of truths and serums
as i near them
i see the zoom of the noon hour
and my tongue tastes the
blizzard of hasty conclusions
allusions to the way
i saw his eyes drift
as i sifted through the necessary skills
and equipment built in to handle
these moments where a motherfucker
doesnt' know what the hell he's going
to do
or are we able to do it?
as soon as you came along
as the long icelandic song plays
as the big black orb rotates around
my head for days
with dancers and musical personal
chiming in with ideas
flights flurries from the machines
radiating us in neon trains and planes
do not defy the
little red worms swirling in the
darkness like
a vampire's cape
the yellow tape will not keep
we the people from getting through
the sooner you'll know this
the better will be the mind
as you welcome the subconscious voo doo
leaving its hex
it doesnt matter who's next
of what effects you
want to put up on to that
screen full of mind blowing
star gate visuals
is the eventual pay off
for mind expansion
there we go back to mind expansion
the ideas of space and time rumbling
through me as i delve in a dormant mind
how to cope with the responsibilities
with inabilities for believing
the utilities of the ruse and facade
performs before me
with a stage turnover of nanosecond
wait a second
am i not the same living in the reality TV
punch lines
laughing heads
like pez dispensers
big eyes
exaggerated smiles
using their bewitching
denial to lead me to the trough
to chomp and stray away from the
messages of the minds left
scribbling to pass time in a short life
to accept the strife
to adapt to a endless night
and its all horizontal again
and it draws us in
i see legs ripped from bodies
i see heads skipping
across the highways like
stones
and i grab the bone a little tighter
i see my hands tighten
i see death
i see progress
i see embryos crawling
upon the shores
millions of fetuses
i see them devouring the people
i see them walking into stores
and buying cigarettes
i see them reading the Anarchy cook book
i see the world burning
i see the fetuses crying
i see their wails
i hear them
i cannot sleep
i cannot grip
i cannot stop hearing
their gums on the bones
of dying men and kids
and i see the metropolis
in the sky
i see us reading books
in large vessels
moving through the cosmos
through infinite blackholes
life everlasting as long
as you roll like the stone
parallel to time changes
as vowels of strange context
carries a devil into the cathedral
for reconciliation
where i see you standing
covered in light
when you talk i see only colors
blossoming from your mouth
like flowers blooming in the wee hours
of morning
the mourning widow
i see her web tangle, i see it collect
dust,
she sitting in the middle
only crawling for the occasional
fly forgetting the safe route
and she stares
and she sees his eyes
and she hears him nibble on the ice chips
as the peeping of the apple pip
pops from the side of her mouth
the south sob story heard on the north side by every bookie
the "cookie" of cat calls,
she was
no longer
unable to strut her stuff
before the ages rubbed her skin, pulled it all down
where we stand our ground
we must keep our gold and silver
in our mouths
we must munch away its value
we must do what leads this to be undone

and my mouth gapes at the sight of
the monolith
of the apes cracking skulls
of higher levels of conscious enabling space and time communication
beyond our physics
aligned with the cynics
we drown in the seas
after climbing the pipes
leaving the fake heads on bed sheets
the guards unaware
the dogs all asleep
we move away the stones
created by long nights
and cafeteria spoons
we crawl through the stone
and soon we move again
over the fence
and into the sea
with the raincoat float
to escape this sort
of non-existence with existence
and
escape the monolith's
crippling note

Galactic Fangs

(intro)
No one can really tell the story.
Compromises are made,
but there there is no
compromising
the terror of a man's
mind,

the story . . .

has
begun

(start at 2:15)
robots
all mechanized to roam
nomads to their own thoughts
their own ideas
lost in their own technologies

(2:36)
what is wrong
with their eyes?
i see . . . how they hide
in radio lines

i hear the beat of a drum,

pull the strings!

(2:58)
dance then . ..

what is coming from

the floor
is a galactic fog
drowns
their misery
away

(then cut into galactic force bites wires intrigue even in the here and after)

Creatures of the Tide (sample bites)

Voice: 1930's announcer, spoken in radio cadre

(begin after radio fuzz)
you are fascinated in the unknown
the mysterious
harboring unspeakable
oddities,
intricately absorbed
abnormalities
to ultimately
know
just why
you are here

and now we present
to you
these fateful tales
off behind a galactic veil
never to be written
never to be spoken aloud
the galactus
the brothers
these characters that live among us

my friend, let us listen to its
infinite portrayal
with metaphysical betrayal
let him build his edifice
in his sacrifice
may he never fail

Bela Lugosi Samples (start at 2:17):

lost, we
cut the fabric of time
into the sixth dimension of space

drawing
strings
of their ends.

many stars
many planets
if only my presence
occupied their feeble little minds.

i hear their screams, their fears,
in their truth
I see their own mortality.

most are not new
these signs
of
burning angels.

it shall be called Lost in the Fog. featuring a cover of Cure's Disintegration, a remix of Lost in the Fog, some previous recordings from ages ago, instrumentals, a live track we collaborated on, and a new mix of Bobbie Brennar, which for some reason, gets tons of downloads. who are you?

bela and i say "hi"

from the reaches of the sixth dimension of time and space.

be well.
