UTOPIA DELETED by Trimetrick (2008)

This Antwerp, Belgium-based industrial electronic music duo, consisting of Catherine Jane Robinson and Michael Mampaey, describes itself as a “non-profit freeware audio music project.”  Their current CD has the spooky, arpeggiated and propulsive track Antarctica.  Lyrics: “Frozen in, I’m left behind, I’m the origin, taken from you.  Strapped in the back of your mind, For in here I am, Hiding the truth.  Aeons of sleep in the ice, For desiring is, My will seeping through.  Fallen I am, For the idle, And I might be, Looking for you.  You drew down my borders, Set foot on my shore.  You drilled in my layers, Walked up to my core.  No place for disorder, Survival and nothing more.  No God for your prayers, Too cold for a throne.  For history’s waves I am blind, No loss within, My icing so blue.”  Michael told us that “I always wanted to make a song about this fascinating continent, so I started to create a sound base with cold, harsh synths and rhythmic layers.  The lyrics are written as if it were a person that is given voice.  In the booklet of the CD, the lyrics are written on a satellite photo of this huge glacier of Antarctica.  I dedicated the song to my grandfather; it was played at his funeral.”  Sex Elite Recordings SER001; www.trimetrick.be
