        The World is Over ! 2020: Year of the Rat or of the Last Judgment ?    
  
                                 
       
 It might sound like a dirty joke, but it isn't. It had been planned  for a long time. Last year during the development of Pikadon, I told  some friends about it. It was when I watched Michael Epstein's  documentary on Yoko Ono and John Lennon that it hit me with all the  weight of a revelation. Since the time of the « War is Over! »  action, not only have wars not stopped, but there have never been so  many wars in the world. So I wanted to do a somewhat special project.
   
       Since many years, mystics have been repeating like a mantra that the  Age of Choice has come. Likewise the charlatans and the blinded cry  out emergency ... I would like to clarify in order to avoid any  confusion, all those who cry out emergency are not charlatans! Indeed  about the climate emergency and its consequences we take it every day  in the teeth. Yet it is urgent ... to take the time. In the style of  year 01 (this version is in french with spanish subtitles I'll try to update it with an english one soon). We stop everything and ... we start. Start living. Do not  start again because I do not believe that we can call living the  state of alienation which was our daily lot until March 2020. Of  course as all remarks this can be nuanced, we can object exceptions,  Etc. In any case to stop, even if it remains imperfect; moreover the  inequalities are shocking; I think that we’ve never come so close  to this saving moment. When you can lift your head from the  handlebars and realize how good it is, when nature takes back its  place.
       
       This afternoon my daughter-in-law pointed out to me that the light  was dazzling outside. I realized that for years I doubted living in  my original world, because in the one I knew as a child, you could  not fix the sun without having to look away, instead of what it was  simply because our society was swinging so much shit in the  atmosphere, that it dimmed its luster. That's not all. We can even  realize how isolated we were already before the lock down by walls,  the most terrible of which is perhaps the theoretical absence of  time, since the rule of the rigged game claims that we should sell  our time life to survive. It wouldn't take much more for a larva to  turn into a butterfly.
       
       So what will we do if the bloodstained hands of the states close over  us?
       
       Will they have the slightest pity? Whereas a few months ago in france  for example, the government sent copsS to beat and injury the medical  personnel who demonstrated just for less catastrophic conditions in  order to save lives. For me, there is no god, guide or government to  save us, no scapegoat, no expert, I dream of us, emancipated. Alive.  In the image of this solidarity which arises from the empathy which  characterizes us and distinguishes us from those in power. When we  choose to disobey their laws, for example to protect migrants or now,  when we try to organize to act on their behalf. Developing  alternative support networks.
       
So you can see this project as a musical game, a somewhat unusual April Fool. Or feel how serious what is at stake is. Realize what it means that some of your loved ones are murdered, whether out of incompetence or more or less intentionally, for example for the sake of profit. Do you want to wait for mediacracy to target a scapegoat and tell you stories to wash their hands. Or are you ready to use your renewed lucidity to ask yourself the same essential question that those who will participate in this musical project will ask themselves :
"The piece must imperatively correspond to a reason for humanity to continue or to stop."
 Shall we continue or stop? Implied: are we letting our planet to be  destroyed by the endless greed of a few ones or are we ending the  nuisance of the current political system? A question which  undoubtedly leads to many others.
       
       Speaking of questioning, I imagine that by dint of beating around the  bush, you must be divided between a legitimate exasperation or a  certain discouragement, it is therefore more than time to explain  myself a little better about what is the project "The World is  Over! "
       
       Originally, I intended to offer only a physical K7 version, which  only concerned those who have already participated in Necktar 2017 or  Pikadon, for a simple reason is that I will make these artisanal  cassettes and even if I only send two per person with 1 minute 23  seconds, that's already a lot of cassettes! Fortunately, as I really  have a tooth against exclusion, inspired by the example of the  compilation of Fraction Studio ANDREAS 24 VIRUS.
         
  
        I decided to also make a virtual version on Bandcamp where the songs  will be added as they arrive.
       
       What makes this project singular is its Citizen Initiative Referendum  side, well, there is no ill-intentioned state to swing its propaganda  or limit consultation voluntarily and thus bias the result, as was  done with the ZAD of Notre-Dame-Des-Landes. Participants will send  their audio arguments on B side  if they are in favor of the  maintenance of humanity or A side if they choose its extinction. We  will see on which side the scales tip ... Maybe we will even be  surprised to discover that it is not humanity, but its way of life  that is the real object of judgment. Obviously, only I will not have  the means to make this judgment effective. At the start, what seemed  to me the most interesting was to question the certainty of the  continuum. I was far from suspecting the unfortunate combination of  circumstances that was going to happen, even if too often for my  taste I have to face disturbing coincidences.
         
  
         So, given  the situation in which we have been living for several weeks, I was a  little hesitant to launch this project fearing that it would sound  like a dubious joke. But the Chinese government which divides at  least ten the number of their victims, is it funny? And the French government unable to tax income above 250,000 euros to  finance the public medical sector, when it would be a ray of hope for  healthcare workers, is it funny? And the world government which uses  COvid-19 to experiment on a large scale with its dystopia ... Ah no,  sorry! There is no world government just the reign of incompetence on  all stages of the profit pyramid if I believe Peter's principle and  possibly a constellation of micro conspiracies on all stages.
       
       In short, I hope not to seem radical, where there is only  well-intentioned frankness, I can understand that it seems strange  for who does not understand that some are its qualities commercial  music will never have the incomparable quality of demonstrate in  practice an alternative operating model. But honestly you'd have to  be more crossed out than me to take this for humor.
       
The only certainty that I have is that we have to learn to dream again if we ever want to really get out of confinement.
