Will play keyboards with a quickie band, performing some bluesy-rocky stuff. Not much of a deal. In fact, expats musicians are largely playing for their kin, locals ignore such events for a few reasons. Shame, really. Also, shame that it’s mostly about playing covers, not some original music – people largely want to hear what they have heard before these days.

Occasionally have some darker thoughts on this. Like, you know, the sense of any meaningful future is lost in general, a critically large amount of people worldwide feel like everything good has already happened, even more, than there was some golden age, and it would be cool to go back. But that’s bullsh*t. Nevertheless, it looks like a worldwide wave of archaic characters declaring a war against the modernity – and the future itself. And so many unscrupulous, or plain malicious politicians are happy to ride this wave driving crowds into madness.

I guess, archaism is the primary driver for all hate crimes and all ongoing wars these days. The past tries to stop the time and even reverse it. ‘Warlock’-style.

It won’t work. But – the human civilization has known the outbursts of de-sophistication followed by the dark ages that would go on for, well, ages.

Today I’m basically an electronic musician and a journalist working remotely. Tomorrow there’s no electricity – and what do I do then?..
