I find myself in shallow rooms Cold as steel If looks could ever kill Sharpening blades out of fear With platinum tears I’m starting to feel less and less clear Looking both ways I know the queens hand won’t be near I know it’s the pain that makes it feel more real Now who do I confine in inside my confinement You found me just when I was about to lose it In my maximum security in-secur-ities Time that moves backward I can’t tell what’s controlling me This low tech reality it’s out to destroy me Blood on my spiral This is my life’s story What’s the role of the artist? Where’s the truth in beauty? Forget Forgive Forbid As the temple gets rebuilt Rid my flesh from all the evil and temptations that exist I’m not ready my close up Unless the snipers out to clip Yelling negro spirituals from the pit Trust me it’s a different type of whip Power structure expectations I want my money like a pimp I’m not a prisoner of history But acceptance is a bitch A small offering It might just be best if we off him The grave rising as the stars falling Please Give us a moment A time and space in which we feel like we own it

about

Potential sonic landmines
confinement and restraint
because the ground is starting to sink
where do we stand and how far must we go
away from the debris
and the remains of what we used to be
used to see
used to feel / use to feel
face to face in the storm I jumped in the whirlwind
following the sound
picking up the instruments
bound to this new form
disabled and released
in pockets two sides of the same coin
is the sound manipulating or influencing?
how much did the physical change?

Extract:

In search
bodies no longer our own….
communicate without distance
beyond our listening or playing strength do we realize we’ve been moved
through time space spirit mind energy
so pure and beautiful
but it is a music also of horror
a music of liberation.
anyone hearing must come face to face with himself and everything he does with his life.
The music forces him to do it; and we, as musicians
playing it, often are driven to fits of rage because we
cannot “understand” the music we play -
we can only feel the great power of it.

Brigade is a label and compilation series of Electronic and Experimental music produced, performed, and sustained showing the realities of where we’ve been and will go in the direction into ourselves. A sound of the soul that is destructive, disciplined, abrasive, experimental, and black. We are not concerned with egotism, capital, or control - but instead the sound, literature, and performances that speak to a group of individuals that understand the pain and struggle of living on the fringes.
