WE ARE BACK IN TOWN Let’s get cracking Start the countdown Three, two, one We are back in town Hit the ground running Ready to get down Boys and girls We are back in town We connect We correspond We go ahead We go beyond We form a circle We forge a bond We go forward We go beyond We are back in town We are back in town We are back in town Let’s get cracking Start the countdown Three, two, one We are back in town Hit the ground running Ready to get down Boys and girls We are back in town We exchange We create We fantasize And we shoot straight We are here We cannot wait We’re going crazy And we’re feeling great We are back in town We are back in town We are back in town

THE TIME AND PLACE There must be a million ways To dance in the cosmic rays This must be the time and place A network, a hyperlink Moments to regroup and think Yes, that’s how we stay in sync There must be a million ways To dance and dance in the cosmic rays This must be the time and place A network, a hyperlink Moments to regroup and think Yes, that’s how we stay in sync Modifications Of the limitations Tech algorithms Of society This is a think tank Of heavy multi-screeners A wide range of subjects A short attention span All the questions All the answers The way it is The way it has to be The way it is The way it has to be This must be the place and time This must be the place and time There must be a million ways To dance in the cosmic rays This must be the time and place A network, a hyperlink Moments to regroup and think Yes, that’s how we stay in sync Human attention Consistent signals Polarization A compilation of memes The distractions Delicate assumptions Social distortions A robotic scheme This isn’t fiction This is just a newsfeed And there’s a firmware issue With the daydream machine Beyond comprehension Beyond control Beyond all question Beyond reality Beyond reality Beyond reality

Sense Of Elation 04:23

A SENSE OF ELATION Start the narration I wanna feel what you can feel It's a new transformation Of what you think is true and real In this constellation I wanna see what you can see It's a sense of elation Because I'm here where I wanna be It's a sense of elation It's a sense of elation A secret science An expert witness The exposition of the question Is the first step On your path to mental fitness Up and coming Twitter and tweet A constant chaos of information I better override auto-complete Breaking it down, building it up Read the news on my phone It's a follow-up I took it all in And I let it all out Gets under my skin That's what I'm talking about In flawless silence Awakening Serenity Sets slowly in Start the narration I wanna feel what you can feel It's a new transformation Of what you think is true and real In this constellation I wanna see what you can see It's a sense of elation Because I'm here where I wanna be It's a sense of elation It's a sense of elation This old model A hard working robot With it’s pseudo human spirit Is a godsend Sort of semi-logic jackpot We’re connected Topics and feeds Accelerating on new pathways The community will get me up to speed To bring it up, is not putting it down This intelligence rain That is falling down I’m checking the pulse And I let it all go I now realize That I will nevermore know In flawless silence Awakening Serenity Sets slowly in

B.E.Y.O.N.D. B.E.Y.O.N.D. T.E.L.L.E.R.R.A.N.D. B.E.Y.O.N.D. 3D, double-click, key, Double-quick, just dandy B.E.Y.O.N.D. The new paradigm Hits like sugar and candy B.E.Y.O.N.D. 3D, double-click, key, Double-quick, just dandy For everyone, for everyone B.E.Y.O.N.D. The new paradigm Hits like sugar and candy It stays with you, with you Look over there We think outside the box We share interpretations of the world Maybe this conversation Is just a stimulation Electric current, a trigger in the head And in the distance Almost out of reach We catch a glimpse A flicker of the future Shape of tomorrow Essentially unknown But everyone's an architect of time B.E.Y.O.N.D. ………. This is for everyone, everyone Yeah, it stays with you Are we in the future yet? Are we in the future yet? These iterations Are pulsing through our brains Resilient, not abiding by the codes We meet at intersections Consider the reactions Communicate with elegance and style And in a vision Outrageous and surreal We levitate We’re making the transition In unnamed systems Of remarkable design We are the artists of a newborn art B.E.Y.O.N.D. ………. We are the architects of time We are the artists of a new born art

NERD LOVE This is the party The get-together The celebration of Nerd Love Nerd Love This must be nerd love Yes everybody this is nerd love Nerd Love This is the party The get-together The celebration of Nerd Love Nerd Love Oh this must be nerd love So beautiful, magnificent, Superb and wonderful, the truest kind of Nerd love Nerd Love This must be, this must be, this must be I was lost in a feedback loop I was a part of a splinter group In a moment of clarity Of belief inspiring sincerity In an eloquent system of connections In a social disobedience reaction Somebody said goodbye As I watched my ego die It's a machine that I'm living in It's a hangout for my high tech twin It's the non-stop chain thinking Of my restless mind Linking the known to the unknown It's a weird and strange romance A crazy swirling shamanic dance Much more than an educated guess Let me confess that this is Nerd Love This must be nerd love Yes everybody this is nerd love Nerd Love This is the party The get-together The celebration of Nerd Love Nerd Love Oh this must be nerd love So beautiful, magnificent, Superb and wonderful, the truest kind of Nerd love Nerd Love This must be, this must be, this must be I was hacked by a black box troll I was there when I lost control Of my low budget feature dream With a low-key apologetic self-esteem In the elegant distance of reflection In a hectic mathematical subtraction In return for serenity I surrendered my identity It's a design true and tailor made It's a wildcard pure and unafraid It's a teardrop free-falling Of the cheerful kind Calling my name from the get go An unscientific symmetry An illogical dissonant symphony Everybody sees we're losing it So let's admit that this is Nerd Love

THE ELECTRONIC COMMUNITY Information fragments in unstable ecosystems Take shape and they talk to us And they talk to us Millions of opinions Voiced in endless untamed visions Obscure and they follow us And they follow us Frenzy brothers, madness sisters Adventures of the keyboard twisters Daring acts on shiny screens A cyber human in-between Wingding sentences freestyle A selfie grin once in a while We are the addicts of the hyper text And we are always ready for what comes next We are The Electronic Community We are The Electronic Community We are just a split second apart We are a network modern art We are just perfectly aligned We are an oscillating mastermind We are outrageous and extreme We are a crazy futuristic dream We are sophisticated and refined We are a blazing fire in the mind Automatic robot wars in real-time simulations Shift minds, they are changing us They are changing us Offended influencers spinning versions of the truth Brainwash and they lie to us And they lie to us Fake detectors, data checkers Stories of the pop soul hackers Caught up in subconscious streams Utopia designer dreams High speed, high tech pleasure seekers Visionary keynote speakers The breakers of the protocol And we go all the way 'cause we want it all We are The Electronic Community We are The Electronic Community We are just a split second apart We are a network modern art We are just perfectly aligned We are an oscillating mastermind We are outrageous and extreme We are a crazy futuristic dream We are sophisticated and refined We are a blazing fire in the mind

STELLAR LIGHTS I came upon it Detective of the soul Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights I made my discovery Got caught between the lines Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights It was hidden and I found it Entangled in my mind Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights Amazing revelations They said you've got to look Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights Search for inspiration Lost in the translation Locked in orbit Circling my mind A rigid mental shakedown Drifting through a ghost town Old ways I will leave them all behind I can take it I can make it I'll awake it At the far secluded outpost of myself An attraction An interaction A chain reaction That will shake the inner circle of my soul I came upon it Detective of the soul Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights I made my discovery Got caught between the lines Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights It was hidden and I found it Entangled in my mind Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights Amazing revelations They said you've got to look Beyond the stellar lights Beyond the stellar lights Feels like it's a long shot The middle of a blind spot My visions scattered They have gone astray A serious negation To look for the location I disregard the odds I'm on my way I will break it I'll remake it I will shake it Turn the upside down and turn the downside up I will trace it I will chase it I'll embrace it Just like all the other orphans in my brain You will find it You will find it You will find it Beyond the stellar lights

OUT OF BOUNDS I want to go To a place I don't know Familiar and old Brand-new and bold I want to see From a vantage point I'll be Hypersensitive, audacious A mindset unafraid and spacious Take me, take me out of bounds Take me, take me out of bounds Spin me, spin me round and round Shake me up and set the stage Push to exit, disengage Take me out of bounds I'm so ready to rearrange At this idea exchange For notions out of range Through the backdoor of the mind mainframe I'll go and hack the game So it wont be the same Strategies uncommon and unique So I'll adjust and tweak Procedures and technique I'll be chasing all my butterflies They teach and energize I'll catch them by surprise I retrigger the thought machine I'll be inside, outside and in-between Reset the rhythm of the hyper brain Rejigger the association chain Under the radar and out of reach Out of control this is a serious breach A deviation from the methods at hand Yields my intellectual contraband

UP THE ANTE I wanna be part of this constellation Take it to the limit and then go beyond I wanna be part of this fascination I'm ready steady here we go, So set it up, make it up, Start it up and pick it up up Up the ante Up the ante We're not done and we want more Take us to the upper floor Up the ante Up the ante It's a win win win Cause we're all in Let's cut the crap Go back to start Bypass the mainframe Straight to the heart I'm in the business of Creating a craze Episodes and chapters That truly amaze That's precisely The nature of my game Nervous excitement At the prospect of acclaim Expensive thoughts The price is on the tag Carry my plans 'round In a plastic bag It's trial and error It's cut and try The former rules They still apply Trust me, I've done this I'm not a rookie I roll the dice and I crumble the cookie Take me to the limit And then go beyond I wanna be part of this constellation Take it to the limit and then go beyond I wanna be part of this fascination I'm ready steady here we go, so set it up, make it up, start it up and pick it up up Up the ante Up the ante We're not done and we want more Take us to the upper floor Up the ante Up the ante It's a win win win Cause we're all in The grand illusion The fever dream I'm in a trance That's oddly supreme I skip the beat Causing a major glitch Now there's a gap In my elevator pitch There's no such thing As a free pass Yet still I'm going for Top of the class Chats, tweets and messages Instant delusion I'm in a state of Constant confusion Subculture madness Design and style I collected the data In a single file Sort of a test So cut me some slack Though I was never even gone I'm planning my comeback Take me to the limit And then go beyond Take, take Take me to the limit Take, take, take me to the limit And then go beyond I wanna be part of this constellation I wanna be part of this fascination

INTERVENTION Tick tick Feeling electric I'm really impressed, A little stressed By the skill set test I accept the cookie in my dream Upgrade privacy pleasure theme Click click Feeling eclectic I'm really blessed, May I suggest The case to be addressed I can feel the buzz in my newsroom Update, non-stop closeup, zoom To enhance the experience Don't be a wannabe You got to change your policy To understand the significance You gotta be a thought abductor Hope conductor One of a kind Crossword constructor May I have your attention This here is an intervention It's a round-trip into the maze Let's get lost in outer space May I have your attention This here is a new dimension It's a mix, chaos and control An odyssey straight to the soul Tick tick Feeling dyslexic I cannot deal With what I feel At the steering wheel I believe I can't compute Reset, trim, black out, reboot Click click Feeling eccentric I'm a soul mate Up to date With political weight I'm buried in the fine print Feedback, comment, catch the hint To find out what is between the lines It's a necessity To be as one with the complexity To discover intensity You gotta to be colour-blind Undefined Surrender to The stunning methods of your mind May I have your attention This here is an intervention It's a round-trip into the maze Let's get lost in outer space May I have your attention This here is a new dimension It's a mix, chaos and control An odyssey straight to the soul Intervention Intervention This here is an intervention This is a new dimension Chaos and control An odyssey straight to the soul

WILD AND FREE We believe in self transformation Shift, changeover, a mind reincarnation Disregarding guidelines, ignoring the decree A mind ready to wonder is a mind that's wild and free Wild Free Wild and free The task The task at hand Is to learn and understand That's alright that's cool Cause we're going back to school To be taught, to be trained To be freed, to be unchained From the prison in our brain From the fears we can't explain First-hand reflection is our currency We give it time and we are ready for the active phase We connect with true sincerity A low-key ambience for fancy thoughts to be rephrased Laid-back, composed, at ease Point blank, non-stop, a free ride straight to the core Don't get caught by your own thought police Keep the channel always open, there is always more Bring it all together, in splendid company Bring it all together up down, high low, Bring it all together, in splendid company Bring it all together criss-cross all around all over We believe in…. First-hand reflection is our currency We give it time and we are ready for the active phase We connect with true sincerity A low-key ambience for fancy thoughts to be rephrased Laid-back, composed, at ease Point blank, non-stop, a free ride straight to the core Don't get caught by your own thought police Keep the channel always open, there is always more Bring it all together, eccentric harmony Bring it all together up down, high low Bring it all together, in splendid company Bring it all together criss-cross all around all over Bring it all together Bring it all together We believe in….

about

In 2013 Marc Thiele asked me to join his wonderful conference Beyond Tellerrand. I came up with this concept of audio-sketchnotes, sampling the speakers and incorporating the samples into my music. And to get everybody into the right mood I started to write so called theme songs. Songs especially for the crowd of Beyond Tellerrand to get everyone on the same page. So the songs and the lyrics are a direct reflection on the beautiful community that gathers at these special events. This is a collection of all the songs so far.
