In 1980 I wrote a text-accusation on the subject of ecology. At that time there were no Covid problems but the pollution problems were present as unfortunately today. I made a song, or rather, a progressive rock style piece. It was played and sung and was recorded live on an audio cassette. Of course, over time, the magnetic recording has been lost, but I keep the written text in my many notebooks. When I listened a recent songs by Seraphin from his album "Decadence" I was struck by the music of the track "Doped" which brought me back to my memories, because it resembles the style I like. An experiment was born, a mash up between a part of the Seraphin track and one of mine. Not having a singer, the voice is mine that I am not a singer and I have modest technology to record voice. This however gave me the opportunity to use the original lyrics for the song. (See postcard with the lyrics).
I sincerely thank Seraphin for this opportunity, always remembering with pleasure the collaborations we have done in the past.
