Copperfingertips - Represent The Human Race

By juliedillon // Support the artist

      By one way or another, the world as we know it has ended. Nature starts reclaiming the land.  There are survivors, but they have a hard task ahead of them; that of trying to rebuild after a great loss. There are no zombies, no mutant beasts here to contend with, but there is always that most human of emotions in the aftermath. Fear.        But people pay heed to the mistakes of the past and make conscious choices to not repeat them. Focus is placed on making things grow and thrive, whether it’s the flora and fauna or  peoples’ physical/psychological well-being.  Builders, farmers, engineers, teachers, and healers become leaders. Storytelling bonds people together through the sharing of vital information and in entertainment.        Everyone becomes a guardian of certain areas of knowledge contained in the precious resources of books. Part of the day is spent in necessary labor, but time is also set aside to unwind and share all that’s been learned with others. Strong foundations are laid for a vibrant community.         And slowly over time, with an abundance of patience and determination, the community flourishes, able to speak of its own unique achievements. And so, travelers are sent out, to learn about other communities, to listen to their stories, to offer aid if it is wanted. Eager to share what they can, they travel past technological relics to strange and distant lands. In the face of the unknown, they have chosen hope.

Welcome to Soft Apocalypse. 

This compilation of downtempo instrumental songs with a low key hip hop vibe encompasses optimistic, wistful, and relaxed moods. It became evocative of a solarpunk theme to me.  Enjoy!

A massive spinning ring could store our excess energy

Can I watch a great film knowing the actresses in it were terrorized and mistreated the entire time? Can I watch a football game knowing that the players are getting brain injuries right before my eyes? Can I listen to my favorite albums anymore knowing that the singers were all beating their wives in between studio sessions? Can I eat at the new fancy taco place knowing when the building that used to be there got bulldozed eight families got kicked out of their homes so they could be replaced with condos and a chain restaurant? Can I wear the affordable clothes I bought downtown that were probably assembled in a sweatshop with child labor? Can I eat quinoa? Can I eat this burger? Can I drink this bottled water? Can I buy a car and drive to work because I’m sick of taking an hour each way on the subway? Whose bones do I stand on? Whose bones am I standing on right now?
