Carole und Tuesday (2019)

„Don’t worry about tomorrow’s dust storm today.“

„Just imagine the audience is a bunch of potatoes!“

I’ve been emotionless ever since I was a child—so much so that people have always told me I’m like a robot. So I wanted to find out what emotions humans experience. That’s why I began my research. If I achieve my goal, I could create AIs with the same emotions as humans, and make music that invokes those emotions in people.

Ertegun. The only one who can surpass me is me. Who am I? That’s right, I’m … DJ Ertegun! I didn’t choose music. Music chose me.

I’m not Ertegun anymore. Ertegun is the highest-earning DJ on Mars. An Ertegun without money is no Ertegun at all.

Forgetting who I am? In no timeline would that ever happen! I am Ertegun!

„The world is set to start changing rapidly. And as far as I can tell, not in a good way. It feels as if we’re heading for a world where you have to live quietly in darkness. There are musicians who express how the world is. But I’d rather the song to be a light in the darkness.“

All I want from life is a real dog, and real music. Real music emerges when musicians harmonize perfectly. It’s a divine moment. It’s not something that happens often. But I could tell from the moment we met at the favela … That moment would come to you two. And that moment is now.

Freedom that others give you is shit. The only real freedom is the one you seize by yourself.

It’s enought to have that one person I want to truly convey my feelings to. I don’t care if they don’t reach him. If my feelings are real, I know many people will empathize.

I’m Ezekiel. I’ve come this far by wearing a mask and becoming stronger. This is my way of living.
