You Hypocrites !

Although I'm always reluctant to explain my sound art .After watching what seems like years of news horror, I was reminded of Robert Burns. Although the subject of warfare was covered in the track 'Trench' that I made in 1987 with dumdum SCORE and again in a re-mix and reinterpretation in 2014, sadly I felt the need to express the same outrage yet again with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The sounds represent the cacophony of digital communications directing yet another pointless war , they are mixed with whistle sounds from the 1st World War. In the middle of this ...I imagined a soul diva with the guts to sing the words of Burns at the Superbowl...

 Mixed for headphones.

You hypocrites!
Are these your pranks?
To murder men and give God thanks !
Halt , Desist, for shame
proceed no further,
God won’t accept your thanks for MURDER



― Robert Burns

We do indeed live in strange times. When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.
