about

Chu Chu & Andrej - Becoming a plum

If you become a plum, you are going to get eaten, and somebody is going to spit out your core into a bin. Thrown into a turmoil, a cynical and mocking entity is talking down to you; persuasively talking about there being only one option for you in the whole universe. To float with no end in a black sea, carried by dark hope - hope in a hopeless way.

If you would like to know what is being said, here is the transcription:
docs.google.com/document/d/1v9H3KiEA1DvXSq10YsjtuT4tOTwOc4r2EllK9dFapRE/edit

After you find out what is being said, the next three questions to answer are: who is saying it, what is their intention, and how to be true to yourself in this situation.

**********************************************
Chu Chu’s answers to those 3 questions:
1. who is saying it: apparently me, myself, still alive
2. what is their intention: to replace the music that we were supposed to make for you to dance? Maybe I just want to lift the seal who always falls from the swing
3. how to be true to yourself in this situation: there is a way and an end called love

Listening recommendation: This is a record to play in the dark. Please have a listen with good quality stereo headsets in a quiet environment and start with the volume enabling you to hear details; Chu Chu guarantees that there is no scream in these 3 pieces as she was quite gentle, she thinks.

Hope you enjoy the trip:)
