Hi,
As time goes, my work evolved in a good direction, if I can say that, and I’ve just released an EP that is dear to me, a work on Nietzsche, my very first youth idol from which I’ve been studying for years and read a lot.
About:
“Thus began Zarathustra’s down-going.”
The EP, duly named « Nietzschéennes », is a work that mixes experimental, avant-garde, neo-classical, alternative rock, and even a bit of folk.
It has contemplation, and straightforwardness feeling, with themes from Nietzsche such “The Great Fatigue” in track 1. Nietzsche Slowdown and track 3. Träumerei (dream, or dreaming in German), a theme from his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra a book that is the leitmotiv of this release. The quote “I’m no man, I’m dynamite” for track 2. Dynamite Rock and how Nietzsche sort of killed God’s morals “God is Dead” - Nietzsche – “Nietzsche is Dead” - God, with lyrics such “Trinity, let me sleep with you […] for the night is the darkness toward the Heavens”, mostly interpretable as a defiance to being the non-religious metaphysical form as the Übermensch, and can be compared to “One must still have a chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star”. Track 4. Eastern German Wine is a groove into the most controversial thoughts, bad interpretations of Nietzsche’s philosophy or deformation from the Germans that led to WWII, it also has a more simplistic interpretation and meaning that is “The man who sold himself” is nobody else than Nietzsche, who died from mental illness and “sold” his mind against the modernization of the world, hopping that the spark from his chaos would be held in good hands; eastern of Germany is also where Prussia was when it existed, Nietzsche being born in Prussia; I do leave a space for interpretation on this song. The final track 5. Hystérie: La 3ème Métamorphose talks about the mental crisis, the burn out, the resulting, in some point of the process of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and all of Nietzsche’s work of mind, the 3rd metamorphosis being the child, a transvaluation of oneself valors: “How the spirit becomes camel, how the camel becomes lion, and finally, how the lion becomes child” are Nietzsche metamorphosis in his teachings. But, the bonus track 6. Überpop: Also Sprach Zarathustra, reveals a more chilling and almost an useful irony; as Nietzsche himself said: “The Übermensch shall finally laugh of himslef.”. It really conclude the EP in a more positive and less experimental vibes. The EP can be enjoyed as an integrity or as separate tracks, as it is diversified yet complete.
