KARBORN - I - I - I
Sticky trainers on dirty streets. The horizontal light makes gold trees with concrete boxes left and right and centre. Blue and cold and fresh. There were adventures to be had in a city like this, both old and new. The desire to be independent and to be the trees, not stuck in stone like concrete.
Pockets full of gold leaf but usually no gold to spend. Imagination made most of it, when your poor you knew it was because you had got a bit comfortable or had not been quick enough. It still happened often, though. The girl in the window winks. She is pretty an all. Ain't so bad then.
The road gets layered and clever as you walk and move and glow. Changing groups and individuals enter into the manifestations. Some keep you sane and evolve ideas, some work with you, the best kind are very different... An element you miss in yourself, and they miss in you. Those relationships go deeper than a moments need, and seemed to be honest.
Look there, just there, deep in the shining, glowing flowers of the living world is a natural language of empathy and beauty.
The mind makes imaginations. It manifests. Midnight in London, the only time you can feel the solitude is in quiet streets and along the canals. An old receipt drops from your pocked as you pull out a lighter.
"What always makes you feel alone? Do you want to be alone?" said the night.
"Do you want to be a monk, suffering? Sacrifice your life for this then, to it, be it, or it will offer you nothing." said the wind.
"Do you want to feel the world? Feel deeply and colourfully? Then do not be lazy" said the earth.
There is no face. Sharp alien features dock grass eyes and sunshine freckles. The fox sits and watches from a wall. Step in the circles, watch the rhythm for the beat, and move in and out of time together. Where was I trying to go? Paint hits my shoes, my eyes are bleeding. Beautiful white cloth frames and billows across her elegant face. Long slender limbs hold my hands, pull me up. Touch, a scent like honey and hops and warm skin and grass. Clouds move by her hair and stories of unity and the infinite fall as each lock drops. "Stand and face towards the water, I want to take a photograph." You whisper as the subject of your life is under your eye once more, and you create again.
Dark blue jeans. The oversized hood. The rucksack. Walking along pavements with a mind in hand. Trying for what he might, to build, to make projects. Not just to exist, but to meet all desires.

DIRTY SHINOBI
DUBTERROR x VJ KARBORN
Live audio visual collaboration
MASTER
2007
The video is a live VJ mashup mix, assembled and cut to the track by KARBORN. Audio production by DUBTERROR.
The bass will make your 8-bit soul shake. Video game nostalgia distorted and bristling with grime. Smoothed through rolling basslines and contrasts leaving everything broken and spent. It's the artful dodger slamming through shinobi in broken pixels, praying to a degenerate saviour to lift you out of the bass-ments.
Milanese - Barry - VJ KARBORN live video mashupmix!

a member of the digital thievery, with malicious ambiguity,
your urban crimes fuel my finance with my incredible imaginations,
combining and blending, crossing and fading, sampling...replaying,
welcome to the future...
digital degeneracy, the disease of a modern psychadelic piracy society,
reconsidering the world from its base, to brand new worlds with solid spaces,
evolving amazing graces...
‘Oh analogue-digital. I don’t want to be killed by machines. I want secret gardens to explore and walls to climb over, into a classic, clever and sensitive future. To make spaces in beautiful cities, with fresh faces, and creative work that takes us new places. Let’s get independent and take the cash, put it into proper projects and pockets. Fuck the middle men, we own the media now, and we are at the front again.’
"When a man tires of London he tires of life," Dr Johnson
the blind watch maker, pattern constructor and chaos navigator...

Yo KARBORNasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?
