we used to get along we used to listen to songs then i guess something went wrong we used to peacefully disagree and then it came to be to be successful at what you are most likely to be [evolutionary statement] we used to have a peaceful advantage you can be what you want to be maybe it never went away but sometimes it's hard to say
2.
what no one tells you your entire life is common decency is just a background illusion, of where culture used to be to recharacterize the familiar, like vanilla ice's sister it's a charade the religious impulse, to find the people most agreeable to you [another evolutionary statement] to become what you're most likely to be the four walls of stupidity where a tribe used to be where a tribe used to be a charade, with xenophobia, this reinforced horseshit illusion a pantomime of counsel, where love used to be where a tribe used to be where a tribe used to be where love used to be to be morally opposed to getting a hobby a flowering obscurity, of common decency where a tribe used to be where a tribe used to be where love used to be [i live in the desert. on native american land]

love is never a popular thing love is not what you want it to be love is not some description, of possibility selling desperation a culture of treating adults like children we got the need and feed blues we got the hedging bet blues as we try to breed out each other we got the need and feed blues to love the unloved it's not all you need nor is it some underbidding of the value of life we got the need and feed blues to love the unloved to love the unloved to love the unloved to love the unloved ...to love the unloved
5.
kindness is so abstract i don't know what you mean we talk about something kindness is never what you want it to be we talk about something, temporary contemporary kindness is so abstract to put love away, put it out of it's misery it's just a foreground illusion, of a background possibility the fertility of poetry, the flowers of obscurity [i should get a job as a premtech teacher, and tell people it's okay to be ashamed]
6.
i'll make you rich i'll make you poor

about

Channel Surfing is a quasi-vaporwave project. Meaning that it predates vaporwave, and was initially influenced by the glitch and idm scenes of the 90's and early 2000's. With Channel Surfing, the focus is on microhouse and shoegaze.

On 'Paradox In The Bathroom'. . . I took a detour, and focused on lyrics. This time, it was the political solitude of an uncertain future. The in-between moments, of both turmoil and tranquility in America.

Sonically, 'Paradox' uses Sound Design as a songwriting tool. Drum machines were treated like synthesizers, field recordings were processed like guitars. It is a very environmental spin on the "rock formula."

Channel Surfing is a project based out of the Mojave Desert. The locus of Channel Surfing is "Ethereal Synthesis" in all it's various forms. From album to album, the locus changes, falling together or falling apart, but the same ethereal techniques apply in different ways. Sometimes, outspoken and political, other times, quiet and interspective. Enjoy. . .
