No one has a glass sphere No one knows where I belong Someone told me not to fear All the things that could go wrong If you told me how to feel I could see what's going on Turn the pages and fade away Fool me with your interplay Otherwise i'll start it over Until the pieces mend together Maybe in time, I could find out What those words meant to me what i hoped it could be Otherwise i'll start it overUntil the pieces break apart Maybe in time, I could find out Why the words in my head keep on looping over Looking back at it I could have swear I had a plan for it all But now that i look at it, I can't read a single word that i wrote down I'm trying to turn the pages as it is coming down (can we just start over) With a cloud of perception, a blurry reflection Tell me when i'll make it throught i'll get right back to you Otherwise i'll start it over Until the pieces mend together Maybe in time, I could find out What those words meant to me what i hoped it could be Otherwise i'll start it over Until the pieces break apart Maybe in time, I could find out Why the words in my head keep on looping over No one has a glass sphere No one knows where I belong Someone told me not to fear All the things that could go wrong Come on This is nothing to be Careful about Nothing to be careful Otherwise i'll start it over Until the pieces mend together Maybe in time, I could find out What those words meant to me what i hoped it could be Otherwise i'll start it over Until the pieces break apart Maybe in time, I could find out Why the words in my head keep on looping over Come on This is nothing to be Careful about Nothing to be careful

The sand slips through my fingers and the waves escape from sea I try to hold on to the time but time is holding on to me. Lifelines disapear into horizons out of reach, There are shapes and colors but my eyes still cannot see. The clouds swim through the sky and colors have escaped from the palms of my cold hands into forest, land and sea. I tried to go, I tried to follow but my limbs have grown so numb. My legs are barely moving while all i want to do is run. The air has gone so thick and i'm waiting for the storm. The air has gone too thick, i can't move anymore. I can't move anymore.

about

The Globalist is experimental music voyage that is heavily inspired by sounds design between acoustic piano, modular synth and the human voice. The whole process was an arrangement and a transcription of multiple free improvisation sessions based around the keyboard.
The main 4 singles: ganymede and io, mechanical, careful and null feature a visual representation thanks to touchdesigner and fractals programming available on youtube.com/channel/UCSFRKjJ_yy47gzJ1T5gfW0w

The main theme of a suite called the Fractals and is a version of the 1st Fractal called "Snow Walker ". Everything in this track was sampled from an untuned Yamaha upright piano with a single mic in a bedroom. snow is walking is about the feeling of a the first time where no judgement or anything else comes ruining the experience.
It is about curiosity and wonder of something new and enjoying the present without any effort.

Big thanks to my friends Becca Kelly, Alexandra Gadzina, Freek Foulon and Thomas Sagne for contributing to this project .
This Ep is mainly sampled from the Yamaha upright piano, Yamaha grand piano, Sequential Prophet Rev 2, Korg Minilogue XD, Korg SV 1, Yamaha reface DX, Line 6 delay, Squier Jaguar Bass, Custom Squier Telecaster.
