Music from Circuitdelic Sound System.

This piece emerged during a time of transition—between performance and persona, between rebellion and reflection. The voice track is lifted from the film The Limits of Control, by Jim Jarmusch, (he is a major influence on the Lab!), where a mysterious woman confronts a man with three questions:

“Do you like my raincoat?” “Do you like my ass?” And then, when denied weapon, phone, and intimacy: “No guns. No mobiles. No sex.”

I knew instantly—it was my line. Not just a line, a stance. A declaration.

It’s not about denial.

It’s about clarity.

No distractions. No devices. No delusions of dominance. Just presence.

The modern world is seduced by these three traps: violence, distraction, and desire masquerading as love.

This track is a refusal. A reclamation of focus. A clearing of static so the real signal can emerge.

It became a kind of mantra for me. A code. Not forever—but for the times I needed it.

For the moments when the world wanted everything from me—and I gave it silence instead.
