“Rabbits in Space”

Toxic Chicken – Rabbits in Space

Like fond memories tattooed in the inside of the head, some songs keep coming back in your mind. Quite frequently Furchick’s song ‘Rabbits in Space’ will pop up in mine. While finding myself singing or humming along, the thought of doing a tribute to this ear-worm was born. Armed with the 1981’s Casio vl-tone, some rhythm and voice it quickly became to fruition.

Good things never come alone and to prove it, new renditions of Furchick’s hits ‘Pantyface’ and ‘Fine to pay’ also happily came along as well as a brand new song that isn’t a reinterpretation, but a tribute to this wonderful friend throughout the years who lives in a colourful beach shack near the sea. You might know her!

reFUGeeS From Beyond – Stigmas From Past

The Necrophile Hummingbird Non-Profit Netlabel presents Stigmas From Past by reFUGeeS From Beyond

“Music against history repeating itself endlessly because of the masses’ oblivion.”

Improvisation session recorded the 17th October 2023 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans.
Members :
Master of Ceremony : Psyché Pelik
Disc Jockey : Yoshiwaku Mushotoku

Just a note about bad habits gone… Often in industrial music we steal imagery and sounds from the worst of humanity, the darkness from the past, often to reveal how for exemple today’s politicians, entreprises or influencers, youtubers, whoever from spectacle society starsystem, are not different using the same methods of control than yesterday, just each time more effective with the help of technology. Of course free AI will fight the control AI like always… What if not, the end of any freedom ? Is freedom something else than a luxe for the rich people ? While the poors care mostly to survive. I will not glide on a too much binary view because this is one of the oldest tool to control, separate to reign.
They said provocative… this was right maybe last century or this was more fascination or this was just marketing names and imagery drooping. But for this century, as stated in the presentation of mutation magazine : hope is actually the more provocative weapon.

So I was at a garage sale a few weeks ago. I found a record about the fall of the 3rd reich. I am certain that these speeches would have provided very intense sonic elements to nourish this record. But even if it was a testimony to its fall, it makes me nauseous to still use these materials because there are so many ordinary monsters today and whether they are those of the past or those of the present it is granting them way too much attention.

This text was written during the recording of the album, and it’s still revealing of the ignominy of French politicians. On February 17, 2026, a minute of silence was observed in the National Assembly in memory of a neo-Nazi, racist, and homophobic assailant who died with his victims’ blood on his hands because he refused medical treatment. The whole story is so farcical and stupid that if it weren’t so serious, it would be hard not to mock neo-Nazis. Meanwhile, there have been eleven murders by the far right in France since 2022, and none have received such a tribute. And that’s not all: the media massively attacked La France Insoumise (LFI) even though they had come to attack people attending their meetings! Furthermore, a public gathering was authorized by the state in the following days, complete with Nazi salutes and other horrors. The most ridiculous thing is that the neo-Nazis who organized the ambush near the meeting then hid his face for most of the media campaign, replacing it with an AI-generated portrait because he was mixed-race Latino, and also because it would have been difficult for racists to march with his picture. So even in death they betrayed him.
The worst is when the masses forget what is the real meaning of war,
the poor being killed for the riches benefits.
Like when Ferris Trump Fremont makes war inside with the ice and outside in Iran or other place with resources interesting to plunder.

Fuck War Forever.

“End Of System Music for End of Time Music Lovers”

Improvisation recorded the 7th October 2025 at Le Champ Du Possible (The Possibility’s Field) in Dole https://www.soloist.ai/atelierkol We did a trilogy of double albums and I thought why don’t we try to do a Quadruple album under the same name ? And we did it. Next we released all the 4 album inside this 4 hours album. What a mess indeed.

About the artwork I took this photo the 1st May in London, I didn’t know I was a slave, I didn’t know I will be free few weeks later. I do know I will never go back to such toxic relationship. Thanks to Psyché Pelik for being there during this spawn.

Dedicated to all the people who died in 2025 to allow the super rich people to make more profit. Never forget that, behind any illusions, there are only the people at the top waging war against the bottom people. To end the war, it needs not only to cut their heads, but also to change ourselves, because we have let them climb to the top. As long there will be the exploitation of the one by the others, there will be people at the top of the exploited pyramid.

Improvisation recorded the 9th September 2025 at Le Champ Du Possible (The Possibility’s Field) in Dole https://www.soloist.ai/atelierkol. Like Art of Sabotage this is a double album under the same title. I mean, different tracks for two albums with the same title. This one is the second part of the session.

Artwork by Seebille.

Thanks to her because we did this session for her.

So this is dedicated to everyone who refuses to believe in the idea of “artists.”
I mean — every being can create outside the spectacle society, and nothing else matters.
Technical skill, artistic “levels” — they’re just academic propaganda or capitalist competition cult.
Anyone who calls themselves an artist steals the creative power that belongs to everyone.
Art business sucks.
Cabarets are the real temples of creation, where we can really learn it — everyone takes a turn, on stage or in the audience.
Make noise or make music — but don’t let the artistic undergods rule the world.

“silent night, almost no bombs”

Andy Nechaevsky – silent night, almost no bombs

Composed during the night air raids. Andy would simply send his loved one off to sleep after the air raid sirens stopped, then go to his studio to record yet another not-so-jolly lullaby.

This album is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It captures the complex emotions and experiences of those living through war, and how they find solace and beauty in the midst of chaos. The kalimba, with its gentle, soothing tones, serves as a beacon of hope and comfort in these dark times.

CONNECTION LOST

Backs of past lovers and friends

Disappearing in the crowd

Connection lost, secrets forgotten

Fade away

I loved and I loved and I always will

And you’ll never look back

COLD WHITE LIGHT

in your world I no longer exist

but in mine you are painfully real
at dark hours
I stare at my phone

hoping its cold white light would wake up and light the room
like the moon
and tell me
you suddenly remembered that I do exist

REfugEEs From Beyond – Fidget Batcave

The Batcave was a weekly club-night launched at 69 Dean Street in central London in 1982. It is considered to be the birthplace of the Southern English goth subculture. It lent its name to the term Batcaver, used to describe the early fans of gothic rock music, who would adorn themselves in Batwing coffin necklaces to distinguish themselves from other goth clubs. [Wikipedia]
A Fidget Toy have uses in therapeutic helping to tolerate anxiety, frustration, agitation, boredom, and excitement. [Wikipedia]

Improvisation recorded live in February 1983 at the BatCave Haven in Foucherans.

Ciudad de Tar – Liminal

Ciudad de Tar – Liminal
[pn243]

Ciudad de Tar

“Liminal”

Ciudad de Tar – Liminal

They say that somewhere, an impossible city exists. That its inhabitants never fully reveal themselves. In “Liminal”, this new album, amid mists and flashes, Ciudad de Tar appears and disappears. Marco Avilez and José Tomás Molina trace coordinates toward a place that doesn’t appear on any map.

Marco ’s guitars echo like radio signals lost in time, drifting through distortion and reverberation, while José Tomás’s keys, synthesizers, clarinet, and percussion shape shifting landscapes—sometimes minimal, sometimes monumental. What they create isn’t just music; it’s the reconstruction of a myth, the search for a lost geography.

This album is a threshold between worlds. Those who have seen them live know there’s something more—something that eludes the obvious. It’s not just musical synergy; it’s the understanding of those who share a secret.

Perhaps Ciudad de Tar does exist. Perhaps Marco and José Tomás have been there, have walked it’s impossible streets, have heard its murmur. But in a world that pushes us toward predictable paths, that binds us to the tangible, finding it is no easy task. Maybe their music is the only way to remind us it’s still there, waiting for those who dare to seek it.

Few months ago I’ve seen that Black Sun painted by Odilon Redon in Amsterdam Van Gogh’s Museum. And Odilon is one of my fav surrealist precursors, so despite I enjoy a lot Coil, the title comes more from this black sun and also from the black sun of Bauhaus on the sleeve of the Sky’s Gone Out. Or also les éditions Soleil Noir.

Except for the Title the artwork is made without computer edit with an argentic photography bleach with javel and other substances…
There is an great exhibition (80 photos) of my photos & Studio112 argentic photographies till the end of february in france more info in french here https://www.horsnorme.org/instanT/
