“Martyna Basta’s music is like time encapsulated as sound. The title of her last album evokes the idea of a semi-memory, one where it’s unclear whether it really happened or if it’s something we created. “For me, these reflections, these pranks of memory, found their place somewhere in my process, which involved rummaging through archives but also adding something from the present, going back to libraries and digging up things I didn’t remember ever creating,” Basta says. She creates something from the reality that is here and now; the sounds are natural, they are actual, they had their place and their time that she was there to experience. She translates that into music, giving them a fundamental meaning.”

“‘Lingering’ is about new love, entering that fragile plane, shared pleasure, returning to the stasis of a room, of an apartment in a city that is always moving. Objects sitting and hanging. Wanting something, but not wanting to want anything. Crossing the street. A nice day, a nice moment.”

On a lost highway underneath the desert skies, where the roar of her voice is heard. The energy enhanced gladiator wishes to merge as one with his girl. His tongue ring glows underneath the Reno moon. Her silver silence begs for his pleasure. He can hear her call deep within his being, as the desert clouds roll on over his metal slave. She submits to be parked and the shadow of love is among them, piercing through the second guesses that call. In a world no other could so touch him as the love between the gladiator and his girl. That Mojave sun came riding over them and the night’s binge as one at the highway’s end.
2. BLACKTOP TUMBLE WEED: EMPTY MONSTER ENERGY DRINK CAN
A blacktop tumble weed rolls around the dried tar only a dream of it’s master blowing in the wind. From the hand of the gladiator who now hunts for a dream, a flat screen dream, galvanized by a stucco psychochemical absorbed ego master slavery, he breathes. Dr. OXidizes the memory. He will never forget. Crafted by the green juice he is reborn the alpha hunter, psychosomatic pedal distortion sounds in his head. A warp of thirty screams before God Head is fully shocked into being. He is naked on the asphalt earth, owning reality.

COSTCO NOMADS
A group of humans presumed lost for the last decade and a half were found alive camping out in the back recesses of a Costco Super Market. After being lost deep inside of the Costco building for weeks without any outside contact, they finally started the settlement of “No Fear”. Those with cell phones said they had no reception inside of the building cutting them off from any communication with the outside world and gave up hope when their batteries finally lost all of their charge. They hunted for food samples to survive. Children born within the settlement had no conception of a world beyond the Costco building having their own developed language and significant biological alterations. The survivors have expressed to the media a type of spiritual respect for the Costco Center as a sustaining mother nature type provider bio-dome.
