It was super guerrilla, if you consider shooting in the comfort of your own home guerrilla. Either way, it was actually a very pleasant photoshoot that didn't require an extensive amount of time to set up. Oh, and I kept eating cookies during one of the photoshoots. That's all I can remember at the moment.

And you study archetypes
But you throw away the answers
'Cause it's all a bunch of hype And you're on your way of work
But you just can't work it out
And you can't recall the details
Or what it was about
So you hustle through your morning
And you waste your afternoon
And at night you still are wondering
If you'll dream again so soon
And you lay awake and wonder
And you never get your sleep
'Cause you're still waiting for the answers
But you never hear a peep
And you die alone and angry
And you're wrapped up in a shroud
And the world's far below you
And your feet are in the clouds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Lies With The Sea -Duration: 4:46 +Duration: '4:46' References: - track:sburban-jungle Art Tags: @@ -110,7 +110,7 @@ Art Tags: URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/lies-with-the-sea - https://youtu.be/LH_tBygClwg -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Lonely submarine in murky shades of blue and green

My heart lies with the ocean ... -Commentary: +Commentary: |- Michael Guy Bowman: “Lies With the Sea” is one of two songs based on sketches from dreams that I put on Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido - the other, aptly enough, is “Dawn of Man”. During the time I was initially formulating a concept for a fake band during the summer of 2010, I thought it would be interesting to do something with a nautical theme. One night as I was falling asleep, I very vividly imagined a melody and accompanying refrain “my heart so full of love”, which I sketched and eventually transformed into “my heart lies with the sea” to fit the concept. Ultimately I ditched the nautical theme for the band after Squiddles! Sing-along came out and resolved to develop the concept that became Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido with Tavia. However, the song was already well-developed by that point and I opted to keep it around. @@ -132,16 +132,16 @@ Commentary: One thing it has in common with the quicker, more lightly-produced version of the track I put out in May was a fairly strong inspiration from modern electronic acts. I drew farily heavily from the sensibilities of Gorillaz in chosing synthesizer sounds on tracks like “Rhinestone Eyes” and “El Mañana” and also pretty closely studied the mix on Daft Punk’s “Something About Us”, a down tempo track I greatly admire. The thing that most strongly made me feel comfortable using this track on Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido was its inspiration from dreams and the sense that it generally echoed the thought of being swept away in a wave as mentioned in “Dawn of Man” earlier on the album. Originally I even recorded an alternate lyric to the melody of “Sburban Jungle” to open the second verse which I ditched that went as follows: “Down, down far below, somewhere safe/ Lost in the wave once again.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- Track: Chain Of Prospit -Duration: 4:37 +Duration: '4:37' Art Tags: - Mobius Trip - Hadron Kaleido URLs: - https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/chain-of-prospit - https://youtu.be/c9XA_P5g_4w -Lyrics: +Lyrics: |- Hold up

Build yourself a fort to hide
Close your eyes and crawl inside

You are under my control
Obey my will or I'll bury you alive
And it's you who'll dig your own damn hole Forget your friends, what good are they
Suckers filled with words that chide
Heads green with envy but orange with pride
Screaming at that pumpkin tide Listen to their whispering voice
The current where the pumpkins roam
You never saw a thing
Never saw the thing you think you saw
Just shadows looking for a home The door into your heart is locked
Its [gun] is buried in your mind
Too heavy to carry but too huge to leave behind
Without it you will surely die
But even that's just another lie
