Cyberpunk Community Soundtrack 2014 (feat. ENDERS)

     I am pleased to announce 3 of my tracks have been featured on the official 2014 Cyberpunk Community OST. 
These tracks have never before been available until now, on this compilation!  
    Titled after the previous associated yearly releases, the "Cyberpunk Community Soundtrack 2014" compilation features a stellar mixture of Cyberpunk Music and sub-genres (electro, synthwave, industrial, glitch, darkwave, power noise, and more!). This collection holds 47 tracks from various talented artists, 3 of which are originals from ENDERS, released for FREE exclusively on this compilation:
ENDERS - Process Code (Single)
ENDERS - Overcharge

     The 2014 Cyberpunk Community Compilation is packaged in a single free download with extensive artwork and information about the featuring artists and the splendid contributions from all artists involved. Creating a real who is who artist selection for fans, new and old, to the growing cyberpunk music community. It is clear to see why this compilation has repeatedly been qualified by many as the ultimate anthology of the cyberpunk / dystopian / electro scene!

What is Cyberpunk?

:©yberPun|«:/si:'ber-puhnk/
What is cyberpunk ?

---

It is a genre, a subculture, an idea, a state of mind, a way of life. it's almost impossible to define. it's present in every form of art and culture - literature, movies, art, music, computer games, you name it. some see cyberpunk as little more than an offshoot of science-fiction, but it would be hard to argue that something so influential could still be considered an "offshoot". the term itself is attributed to Bruce Bethke. it's easily identifiable as a synthesis of "cyber" and "punk", but it's a master stroke of semiotics. there's no mistaking how the prefix cyber feels electronic... it tastes of silicon and smells of power. punk meanwhile is an unmistakeable scream of chaos, rebellion, anarchy. together you have technology, out of control. machines on the edge of reality, pushing the boundaries of what their creators dared to imagine. cyberpunk drags us away from sterilised visions of the future; where everything is clean and nobody really gets hurt. fuck all that. cyberpunk is grit, grundge, dystopia, it has what Gibson would call EDGE. cyberpunk is all ..EDGE/. i'm drawn to the genre. i've loved watching it grow into an identifiable movement; enjoyed seeing the subculture draw together from disparate groups. it may not exist in my physical location, but does that matter? think about it. i think the passion slowly trickled into my life with the bytes that arrived at my 56k modem. it drifted into my mind as i devoured the pages of gibson's works, settled into my psyche as i played Cyberpunk 2020 and read the sourcebooks endlessly. perhaps i was born with the seeds inside me. perhaps i really do have "an affinity for computers". perhaps i was conditioned into it. perhaps, but who knows. i can't explain why it effects me and doesn't touch others. i can't remember what my first taste of true cyberpunk was... maybe it was while watching Jhonny Neumonic; or when my friends and i discovered full on free files and programs. I didnt realize what I deeply was, untill the adaptation of "The Invisables" comic, got to the main screne, as THE MATRIX... this was an eye-opener for true cyberpunks world wide. but don't be fooled - it's not just technology. technology must have the punk before you enter the genre. high-tech is not enough and in fact it can be a distraction from true cyberpunk. the essence can exist in a screen of plain ascii text. gibson wrote neuromancer on a manual typewriter; scientists in suit and tie or classic white labcoats admit to being inspired by cyberpunk literature. yes, it's a technology thing; no, that's not all. cyberpunk is synthesis. pull together the attitude which knows what to do with the tech, and you're on your way. it's a punk mode. if anyone would support the use of technology to decentralise power and ensure freedom of information, then it'd be your quintissential cyberpunk.

This Overpopulated Planet (T.O.P)

In 2008 the world's population was estimated to be about 6,692,030,277, that is almost 7 billion humans. Population control is when the human race attempts to alter the rate of population growth (China's One-child policy). Eventually, the human population will expand into the 10's of billions. What will all these people do? How will all these people continue to live in a similar fashion as we do in the modern world today?


The city of Dubai is one of the seven emirates (political territories) of the United Arab Emirates. The population of the emirate of Dubai in 2006 was 1,422,000. Currently, roughly 2 million people, could inhabit the region. In 2010, on January 4th, the city of Dubai, unveiled the Burj Dubai (Burj Khalifa), a 2,717 foot tall sky scraper, shattering the record of world's tallest man made structure. Within the main hub of this city, are some of the largest, and highest priced constructions in the recorded history of human race. The grand scale of these projects ranges from not only the tallest building, but multiple man made islands or a Plastic Beach, if understand the metaphor. If people have not been paying attention to what this specific county is doing, they should definitely read into it.

It seems that at any time multiple grand scale construction projects are taking place within the "downtown" areas of Dubai. One begins to ask, why these grand buildings are being thrown into the sky, so rapidly. The answers may be found in this video, broadcast in 2007 by the American Broadcasting Company.



After viewing this, and understanding the facts stated previously. This endless spending, or seemingly bottomless funding for constructions, has a cost. Building a city on the salty sea, with no water to drink, has a price.

The water the people drink, is the most expensive on earth. Distilation plants built in the region, can not keep up with the expansion, and have resorted to pumping waste water into the sea, instead of processing it. Creating a toxic sea, and a large deal of artificially created structures reminds me of the vast dystopian creations and landscapes of such artists as Masamune Shirow and William Gibson.

The future of humanity, will indeed require a vast amount of construction, insane as it may seem, the city of Dubai is in essence bracing for the future of us all. Cities like Dubai could play host to many new generations of people, who will build upon and change them. Eventually what we end up with, is a form of tolerance, somewhere to put it all, a place for every head to rest, be it a steel sheet, or a warm bed. Some will appreciate it, others will simply see it as an existence or "just how it is". Eventually, our planet will be riddled with the trash that the human race has created, every single living human, will have to tolerate it. To say "tolerate" would be a bit harsh. The majority of the people of Dubai seem to love their Plastic Beach.

Overall, the moral here goes something like this:  
"Stop before it's too late, or tolerate it." Keep our planet in good condition, or create your own artificial word, to deal with the change, be it due to "Global Warming.", or simply the changing planet we live on.

The works of Damon Albarn and all those who have worked with him, recently created and themed a their new release, with a similar theme.

The dark side of Dubai.

Imre Solt is apparently a photographer, living and working in Dubai, have a look at all of the construction, as of 2010, be awed and amazed, please check out his fantastic captures.
