I see it as unpicking the rainbow. We are in danger of losing something; something that cannot be explained until it&#8217;s lost. I see my job as adding to the gradual erosion of your humanity into post humanity. After the anger comes blind resignation, we have opened Pandora&#8217;s box and we are unable to not act upon its consequences; thus is the circle of civilisation.<\/p>\n<p>I think about this as I compose.<\/p>\n<p>Released 07 January 2012 by Mark Offenhand.
