Welcome, 21st century digital boys and girls, ten years of sonic mutations of Beyond The Borders are in your ears and in front of your eyes now. A remarkable age for a DIY musical project! During these years BTB music and collective have changed a lot, but stayed hardwired to the core principles behind the noise. So far, this is the most advanced version of the audio virus program created by resonances of sonic fields and social white noise in total solitude in my beton-beat laboratory. Everything has been carefully formed and sculptured by me and the voices in my head. The results led to unexpected discoveries, the potential of those discoveries are immense. Now I only need to press ENTER and let it spread into the network. Everyone who comes across it on endless informatic fields will look deep inside the structure and analyze it - they will be the next hosts to spread the virus....But this condition is only true if you will be able to decipher the code. Then, at that moment, you’ll realize that you are locked inside your own ghetto of consciousness, inside a cage, inside the invisible prison of your own mind. The prison was created by your own plastic brain, formed and shaped by your culture. When you realize this, the process will be irreversible. The desire to see outside your cage will overwhelm you. Soon you will find a hole in the fence to escape and start the game on the other side. You will realize that life is just a game, but when you play by the rules set not in your favour you will probably never win. On the other side you’ll have at least a chance. You’ll see everything in a different light. Take a look around and see red rivers in the valleys of asphalt, glass peaks of capital cliffs, robocops protecting the castles of their corporate rulers, concrete clouds and electric suns heating up dust and toxins in the air. You will be surrounded by faceless, bot-like people emitting white static noise all around you. You will be surrounded by the masses in the global state of anomie. So crowded, yet so lonely. You will be able to connect to them and move inside their ghettos and play the games there. Some of the them you will start to call your friends and pass the virus onto them.
You will finally begin to see the machine and realize that you are a part of it and there is no way back. You will realize that all your dreams were just schemes of the machine. You will become terrified and will want to disconnect - rip off the wires and devices installed into your body. Rise against the machine! Fail at this and you will see the beauty of schematic connections - you will fall in love with the machine and become one. Just remember to play the game. Participate - don’t watch!
Even though I’m left alone to stand against the machine, I still want to give out a huge thanks for support to the people from the other side for adding their touch to this work. BIG UP goes out to Karcelona CSOs, and the squats where I found so many like-minded people that gave me support and inspiration during the years I've passed through there. BIG UP to all the party people and party organizers across the Fortress of Europe. BIG UP to all the people involved directly in the making of this album. Massive respect for Mr. Samowar for the cover of the album. Respect to all the artists making dedicated artwork for the content - Oana, Norbert, Gita, Skalpel. Immense respect to Misha for making a shell for the virus! Respect to my favourite paparazzi person in KCN Desy for the gig pics! BIG UP to Alex Dark for assisting my weak knowledge of grammar in Russian language and donated guitar riffs. Thanks also goes out to Karpol and Misha for putting their ears on the tracks and giving them some fresh touches. And thanks to everyone else that I forgot to mention and everyone who tried to help, but didn’t succeed. And lastly, massive BIG UP to the only machine I love, my magic carpet - my bike!
