Externalities

Like the well-oiled economic machinery tirelessly consuming resources in regular rhythm, "Externalities" pounds away, through the noise and static of our distraction, indifference, and climate fatigue.

Exploring the ubiquitous anthropocenic scenery as byproduct of current economy, At Work needs not go far to survey the impact environmentally and emotionally from car culture/infrastructure to the animals to which we entitle ourselves and harm.

The track "Externalities" is from the At Work EP, Sound Systems (PATH22) available from Batona Music. Released January 16, 2020.

For the Anthropocene

You know.

The five warmest years have all occurred since 2015 with 9 of the 10 warmest years occurring since 2005.

The last time CO2 concentrations were this high was 2.5-5 million years ago when global temperatures were 2-3°C higher and sea level was at least 25 meters higher.

The icecaps and glaciers are melting.

Megafires engulf large expanses claiming many lives human and nonhuman.

Floods are deadlier and more frequent.

Arid areas are getting drier.

70 billion land animals and over a trillion sea animals are killed every year for food.

Voters are manipulated by powerful financial interests into supporting policy that accelerates CO2 pollution instead of eliminating it.

Corporate tyranny makes ever-increasing gains against democratic power.

Post-truth confusion divides and delays action.

There are less than 10 years left to radically alter the fossil-fuel based economy otherwise we promise suffering and violence to an ever-increasing human population for the next 10,000 years.

As things get ever more grim, for the times we are not fighting in whatever small or large ways we are able, as the weight of the world bears down, we shall not shrug.

And we will still need music.

At Work responds with Sound Systems.

Programmed and mixed by At Work.

Sound Systems

As we systematically slide into the existential emergency of cataclysmic climate patterns, a sixth mass-extinction event, certain destruction is ensured to the natural systems upon which all species (including humans) have adapted over many millennia.

At Work returns with a beat-driven, nine-minute glimpse of surrounding cultural, structural, environmental wastes in this grim moment of the Anthropocene.

'Sound Systems' is a preview of things to come on the forthcoming EP of the same name and marks the first At Work sounds since 2016's A Thousand Blended Notes.

The track "Sound Systems" is from the new At Work EP, Sound Systems (PATH22) available from Batona Music. Released January 16, 2020.
