//--\\ A touching document: Remembrance 《念》//--\\

This is a very touching document I'd like to share here. It is an audio work. The names of 5205 students who died in the Sichuan earthquake on may 12 2008 were recited here. Every lost life is a lost world. Due to sub-standart architecture these students lost their lives in one of the many schools who collapsed.


Quote from the Ai Weiwei youtube channel:"On April 24, 2010 at 00:51, Ai Weiwei (@aiww)
started a Twitter campaign to commemorate
students who perished in the earthquake in
Sichuan on May 12, 2008. 3,444 friends from the Internet delivered voice recordings, the names of 5,205 perished were recited 12,140 times."

//-' '-\\ THE SAD STORY OF BAKUN - AN ECOLOGICAL DISASTER //-' '-\\

"And along the way we pass many pittoresque villages, it's just that they're hundreds of meters below us..."



Sending infos about my song "Bakun - Pool Of Blood" to a friend I wondered what the current situation in Bakun was now. Doing the research
I found this interesting documentation on Al Jazeera (click on the link):
The Last Frontier - Alleged corruption, rights violations and environmental degradation plague Malaysia's controversial Bakun project.

Rahmat Harons poem, to which the song above is the soundtrack, seems more true than ever. Read the transcript and the translation below please. You can find Rahmat Harons Blog here: http://sampahseni.blogspot.ch/ (you will need translation, if you're not malaysian).

The sequel may be appropriate too: "Bakun - Postapocalypse". My friends from BrutalGod gave me the screams of the dead and tormented which lead to this follower:



Transcription:
Bakun, kukenang engkau dari jauh. Dari sebuah ingatan terkoyak, rusuh dan rabak.
Aku yang terkedu di kamar kaku BangsaT Utama dan hujan lebat menyikat cemar kota - lambat-lambat menyerap kotor kimia dan asap ke dalam tanah masam tajam berasid ini.

Bakun, kutahu banyak yang telah terkorban. Rimba seluas Singapura hanya tinggal gambar rajah sehelai peta lama.
Kehidupan hutan tebal dicukur botak kemajuan. Ditogel tarah pesta bogel pengkhianatan gila harta tamak kuasa haloba dunia kota.
Konon empangan itu bekal tenaga menggerak nyawa tugu-tugu batu pembangunan.

Bakun, bangkai kehidupan tenggelam tak berkafan. Darah bertakung, air bergenang.Tak ada yang tenang. Ia mimpi yang patah, musnah.

Bakun, segala berkecai tercampak ke mana, kehidupan ke mana, empangan ke mana, balak ke mana.Akhirnya yang tinggal tak bersembelih, yang tanggal tak berdalih hanyallah penderitaan,ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooo

Bakun, kini rusuh tubuhmu kemarau kering, kontang dan terbongkang.hujan basah, berkeruh becak lopak berdarah.

Bakun, engkau yang mati terlentang, ruh merayap ke serata negeri. semangat hinggap di tingkap kaku bangsat utama mengagau seriau.

Bakun, engkau belum aman lagi nanti aku akan terbang ke sana dengan kepak Kenya Lang, ku suberang laut China Selatan. dengan pedang keadilan kita akan keluar memburu puaka-puaka alam itu.

Translation:

Bakun, I remember you from afar. From a torn mind, hardly and badly.

Speechless I am in a static room of Bangsat Utama, and the rains still combing the polluted city - sour acid soils slowly absorbing dirty chemicals and smoke.

Bakun, I know many who have died. Jungles as vast as Singapore, now only exist as a piece of diagram on an old map. Junglelife shaved away by progress, humiliated and betrayed by the greed and arrogance of the city.

They say the dam supplies the breath of life for the buildings, stone monuments of development.

Bakun, corpses drowned without coffin. The water a calm sump. It is the dream of a  broken, destroyed mind.

Bakun, everything is doomed to nowhere, the existence, the dam, the timber. The remains not slaughtered, the leftovers without excuses....there’s nothing but misery, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooarghhhhhhhhhhhhooo

Bakun, now your body is in pain, dying in sickness, dried out, puddles, pools of blood.

Oh no, Bakun you are dead, your dead soul crawling all over the country, I watch it perching in the window.

Bakun you will have peace again. I will be there with the wings of Hornbill.

We will fly across the South China Sea, with the sword of justice we will go headhunting, against those demons who betrayed the nature.

(I hope my translation respects Rahmats poetry; though I'm aware my version is just an inept attempt of a translation and not at all poetry)

//°°\\ Declare Independence - Remix in Dependence //°°\\

Just the right moment to republish my unauthorized Bjoerk Reinterpretation. It's her best song. I love it and it's important.
Bjoerk dedicates her song to Pussy Riot.
I hope truth will win over corruption and corrupted religion!

Maybe we all should more often hack our life-lie-system and declare independence.
