1.
Inner voice of madness, you’ll never be in charge. You are trapped here with me. We know how relentless you are, the struggle to draw chaos, in our nice little houses. This seems too quiet for you, as you sit in the fire with a creepy smile, destroy everything in range. Just for the fun, for the rush. Of course I fight back, try to clear your mess, to suppress the noises. But please don’t you worry, we’re in this together. Until the end, I’m afraid.

Human Field 04:52
First it’s my hand, and then my arm. My foot and my legs, it’s coming back to life. Back from nowhere, my mind is an empty space. Some kind of breeze is flowing again, in my limbs and my brains. Look for the sun, and eat from the dirt, stand up and rise, and shine after all. It’s time to wake up, let’s see around. Still weak, but I can sit, and shortly I will stand up. But where I am, and what’s this scene, what’s this play, what’s going on? What’s going on, is this my birth? Look for the sun, and eat from the dirt, stand up and rise, and shine after all. As far as eyes can see, millions of corpses rising in lines, with confused faces. We are crops in a fantastic field of dirt, part of a useless machine, a matter of joy. Looking for the sun, so we can grow, stand up and rise, and shine after all.

Let Me In 02:34
Let me in, please let me in. I’m a nice one, see for yourself. You will not regret this. I certainly won’t kill you all. I will behave, I just need some warmth. I certainly won’t kill every single one of you. It won’t turn into bloodshed. You can trust me.
4.
Everything in there is flying around, all of my goods are messed up, my home is a wreck, total devastation in a ceaseless violent dance. I live inside a hurricane, my house is drifting in circular motions, the tempest eats everything in sight, the soul is inside the storm. Look inside the storm. Sometimes I want out. The hurricane is all over the place. Swirling forever and eating your world.
5.
It’s raining outside, it’s raining mud, through blurred light, tainted sky. Maybe it’s night time, maybe it’s dark time, no one can tell. No one can tell, there is nothing to see. You’re trapped in your room, locked from inside, everything is gone. It’s been ages, and yet, you didn’t move. And you didn’t eat, you didn’t sleep, you’re standing still. You’re standing still, you’re standing there. Your fingers are branches, you heart is rubble, your skin is paper, collecting dust, harvesting grit. Stillness in time. Stillness in time. No one will ever know, the reaper will forget about you. Death is everywhere, except in this room, where time ran away.
6.
No need to be afraid before this nightmare. No need to be scared because it’s too late. This little pool of guts, of feathers and bones… no more to be saved, nothing can be recovered, this is no use. One might think it would be beautiful, a nice dream of red, white, pink and black, where vines turn to strings, demise changes to something else, where a horrific end leads to sudden grace. Reality bites, don’t be sad, take my hand.
7.
Runaway train. Breathtaking power. Runaway train. Unstoppable strength. I’ll unleash the steam and crash into you. I’ll crash into you. Steel and bones and blood and sweat. I’ll be there in no time, to consume myself, and crash into you.
8.
Walking down the street, drifting and gliding above the ground. This is quite a show, and everybody is staring. You don’t seem to be aware, the surreal mayhem in your path. Concrete is crumbling, rainbows are fighting, bubbles appear, out of nowhere. Flowers are growing, along with metal trees, plastic grass and all sorts of frenzy crabs. Leaning to the side, people everywhere, Cause we don’t get why you act this way. It’s so beautiful, the whole world in slow motion, in a mild state of dizziness, a quiet blast of colors. It’s not easy to describe. So good night for now, see you around.
9.
My home is so small, it’s such a tiny place. All the things I have is here, piling on top of each other, leading to insane mess over time. An insane mess where I stand. Crazy mess where I live. And I can’t breathe, as chaos devours the ground. So I made a box, by myself, I was so proud. The more things I put in there, the more they fade out. An anti horn of plenty filled with some kind of tiny black hole. A reverse cornucopia, I still can’t explain. I’m sitting here all day, with my antimatter box, and i can only see this, those weirds snakes crawling around. Now I live with the snakes, those friendly weird little snakes.
10.
Same thing again, over and over. Stuck in your head, like a nasty song. This is getting out of control, I can tell you that much. You don’t need a treasure to find, a quest to complete. I know you’re missing something, trying to be whole again. But the missing parts are there, right before your eyes. Don’t make me show you, this is ridiculous. You would not believe, you would not believe me anyway. Embrace the truth, there is nothing else. Nothing else in this world, or even in your head. Can’t you see you’re bearing the crown?
11.
As rough as it sounds, the engine’s working. Processes are running, the power plant is live. No surprises, no surprises so far. The devil’s in the details, the better days are over, every numbers are down. Assembly line… Replacing part, repairing bits, producing juices. Eventually that won’t be enough. Assembly line… The world is so fast, while the clock is not. The clock is ticking and the needle’s hard. Assembly line… And I miss you, I miss you so bad. I miss everyone, and those days are gone. Please tell me an adventure, where I could be there, where we could be together again, like this time, a while back… Assembly line…

about

What do electronica, 90’s rap, rock, funk and prog all have in common? Music of course. In his latest production, Raoul Sinier appears more hybrid than ever, matching all these influences in an album that moves in all directions, with a consistent and personal core.
Imbued with melancholy and lyricism as always, his music may also be direct and sharp.

The album will be available both in digital and CD. Although physical media are losing ground to immaterial media, it seemed important to offer more than mere computer data; this is the reason why the project will also be available with a limited edition artbook (125 signed and numbered copies). This book gathers a selection of Raoul Sinier’s digital paintings over a period spanning from 2004 to 2022. It is an opportunity to dive a bit deeper in the strange and poetic world of this unusual artist, through images that perfectly fit the eleven surrealist scenes from Dreams from the Assembly Line.

One could add that the album is an emotional storm in the heart of a deliciously exuberant whirlwind… but do we need explanations?

about

Raoul Sinier Paris, France

Raoul Sinier is without doubt a unique artist.
He juggles music, illustration and animation with a freewheeling talent.
His music captures emotions and liberates the listener, enables their penetration into the very sophisticated musical universe of the musician.
But beyond the fury of monsters and the screaming music is the exacerbated sensitivity of a demanding individual…
