ION [Giannis Papaioannou] - No Signal (2020)

label: Ionmusik
released May 8, 2020

All in all, new scenery composed,
Arrested from my senses on empty streets
Moments that cannot be defined,
But still remembered,
Like the face of this ghost city, early, one beautiful spring morning.

The movement of disenchantment,
Without any mystery, feeding,
Into the realm of happiness and freedom
Like the permanent development of productive force
Expanding into mass production of unused consumer goods.

From this mere handful of isolation memories
Joined together by invisible keys
In an almost limitless number of combinations
Come the hundreds of thousand grey pixels,
Compounds discovered in the nature of digital light
Or manufactured, once again, in the chemical laboratory of the mind.
