Chris de Cinque has special, cheeky, verbose way about him. He's a born performer orator and novelty magnet. He also sings in the proggy, deep-diving satire-soaked band Closure in Moscow. If you think it’s not possible to write an insightful, mystical rabbit hole of a concept record that grapples with grandiose themes like enlightenment, metamorphosis and transhumanism all while maintaining a deep sense of fourth-wall-breaking satire complete with boner noises, Closure in Moscow's critically acclaimed opus, Pink Lemonade will prove you deeply wrong.

Never forget just how possible it is to take a 90 degree turn off of the the well-worn. You have the capacity to sharpen the stick on your freak flag, stab it deep into the soil and craft something that is uniquely yours around it. If you nurture it, tend to it and care for it enough, it just might bear enough fruit to free you from the nine-to-five path for good.

Guest and pal Liam Wilson is a musician, psychonaut, yogi, meditator, traveler and writer (by no means does he live an unexamined, "typical" nine-to-five lifestyle). Yet, none of that has prepaired him one bit for the trajectory altering uppercut to the nethers that is fatherhood.
As if that weren’t nuclear enough, he also just participated in a two-day Ayahuasca ceremony run by a mysterious, otherworldly, head-sucking nomadic shaman. An experience that has left him rethinking even the most basic anchors most of us ground our very realities in.

We have absolutely no idea what the future will hold, but we’re definitely on the cusp of something huge.
Are we headed for an unprecedented utopian neo renaissance? Will technological and medical breakthroughs enable us to live practically forever so we’re free to pursue our passions all day long? Or are we on the verge of something darker? Some sort of Huxlian, Orwellian dystopia steeped in thought control, murderous AI and oligarch overlords who'll invade our minds in an effort to milk us for money and energy as we jump willingly into ultra-plush matrix pods of their design?
Who knows?

Although more and more of the analog world is seeping into the digital realm, the almighty dollar has managed to resist the pixel-y tide. Currency creation remains an esoteric, behind-the-scenes process controlled by a few privileged, monocle-clad, suit- wearers -- why is that? Are we meant to believe money is great the way it is, or sacred? I'm not (pun intended) buying it, nor are the thousands of people using Bitcoin.

“In the first half of the 20th century, the prevailing idea was that humans could be masters of nature and the universe. We thought that human power was unlimited. We thought- ‘we can change rivers, we can move mountains—’ we can actually conquer nature. Then, sometime in the second half of the 20th century, we made the realization that the relationship between nature and humans is actually much more complex than that.
We can learn a lot from nature. This is where the idea of biomimetics and harmony between man and nature came in.”
Dr. Michael Nosonovsky
