There are chances, challenges, crises and catastrophes - small ones and big ones. And it looks like that we are living nowadays in an era of big chances and even bigger crises. How is a single person or a group or a whole society dealing with the chances and the crises we are facing today? That's the question. A question j. t. baka tries to find answers for in his new double album "holocene".
in the last days of the final season of silence just before the turn of time when the life's shell cracks and the true memories of lies crumble to dust and fade away the true moments of lies reveal themselves in all their tragedy
Ukiyo-e - the floating world. Woodblock printings showing beautiful people, breathtaking sceneries, amazing landscapes, unforgettable moments. Ukiyo-e - the fleeing world. Woodblock printings showing what's there in a very specific moment of time and space. And what will never be there again. Like these woodblock printings from Japan j. t. baka tries to catch in his lyrics moments of beauty, of happiness and of funny times - but also moments of loss and sadness. In his writings which are more personal than ever before j. t. baka records the fleeing moments of (his) life and of the times we are all living in and reflects on them. And here and there he is telling a story which maybe is funny at times. "Ukiyo-e. Coffee Shop Diaries I" collects lyrics written between September 2018 and March 2020 in different coffee shops and other locations in the countries of Austria, Finland, Germany, Korea and Japan.
