Informaëlstrom (1000 Radios part 2)

("Informaëlstrom" by poligraf)

1000 Radios is a two-part piece which explores the relationship between an individual and their reality, a subject and their objective world.

The second part, "Informaëlstrom," aims to depict this reality gone awry, a maelstrom of information as it were, and the struggle of the individual endeavouring to escape the chaos and finally break through the confusion to revel in understanding and effortlessness.

The piece is an instrumental, but I thought I'd write some related poetry to it, if just for the fun of it :

It started as a feel
And turned into an urge
A persistent appeal
To evolve on the verge

This I could not abide
Without means of living
Seemed safer to divide
Sustenance and calling

At first it was pleasance
As the streams were shallow
But with time turbulence
Got the best of the flow

Between who I could be
And what I was doing
Was a man lost at sea
And tides were conflicting

Thus was born this whirlpool
Against which I'm fighting
Subjected to its rule
Perpetually straining

At once be everywhere
Steady multitasking
Everlasting affair
At once be everything

Vortex unrelenting
Sensory overload
Incessant processing
Get me out of this mode

How on Earth could this be
The place that's right for me
Tell me when will I see
The time of your mercy

Chaos may be the bulk
Of my experience
But I won't end a hulk
I still feel transcendence

And in this simple fact
There is enough I find
Motivation to act
And tolerate the grind

From these thoughts appeasing
Though the pressure remains
My revel is stemming
As I unbind the chains

Until there is calmness
This passion will not fade
And in effortlessness
I pursue the crusade

And here's an idea of what it sounds like when performed live by Poligraf :
