lyrics
Spoken Word:
No lights no sounds,
No time nor space
Utter void.
Then somewhere the beginning of a pallor
and with it a faint throbbing buzz as of a ghostly violoncello palpitating on the same note endlessly. A couple of ghostly violins presently take advantage of this bass
and therewith the pallor reveals a man in the void,
an incorporeal but visible man, seated, absurdly enough, on nothing.
For a moment he raises his head as the music passes him by.
Then, with a heavy sigh, he droops in utter dejection; and the violins, discouraged, retrace their melody in despair and at last give it up.
It is all very odd. One recognizes the Mozartian strain;
and on this hint, and by the aid
certain sparkles of violet light
in the pallor, the man's costume reveals itself as that of a
Spanish nobleman of the XV -XVI. century,
Don Juan, of course; but where? why? how?
Where on earth — or elsewhere
— have we got to from the XX century
Another pallor in the void, this time not violet, but a dis-
agreeable smoky yellow…
-(Excerpt from Act III: Don Juan in Hell, Man & Superman by George Bernard Shaw)

about
6LA8 Karachi, Pakistan
An ‘undefinable’ duo for whom this music is a portal to better places. Ambient, drone and post rock mix to give you a highly varying collection of ponderous songs. 6LA8 is Taimur Mazhar Sheikh and Omer Asim, branching from the avant-garde outfit Aus Rine. Coming from Pakistan, they attempt to condense and convey the frustrations and desires that result from wishful thinking and pessimism. ... more
