Peace doesn't come with silence! Our world is shaped by our muted voices, the echoes of missed screams. People of our era find solace in the safety of their small prisons, unaware of the invisible chains because the system grants us a semblance of freedom, a deliberate act to veil the realization of our captivity…
In the comfort of their small worlds, people find contentment, absorbed in their familial cocoon and spiritually insignificant jobs. Most remain within the confines of their comfort, uninterested in questioning the events around them. Despite the age of technology and the internet providing access to global realities, there is little interest in the lives next door or beyond.
In the awakening of the new millennium, the generation of 2000 brought with it a surge of hope and a desire for increased agency within societal structures. As voices grew louder, clamoring for more rights within the system, a consequential reaction unfolded. The system, resistant to change, responded with the creation of new conflicts.
After 2012, we found ourselves navigating a transformative epoch marked by global unrest and riots spanning diverse subjects in every corner of the world. However, the system, perceptive and resilient, erected fresh barriers to impede the collective momentum.
Amidst this unfolding narrative, the advent of the universal pandemic, emerged as a powerful story, strategically employed by the system as a tool for distributing influence.
As the echoes of the pandemic waned, the system sought fresh mechanisms to maintain control and forestall any inclination towards revolt. Historically, instilling fear and fostering a pervasive sense of insecurity has been a potent tool in shaping the compliant individuals desired by the system. This tactic was wielded by various belief systems in different regions, ushering in an era where individuals, living within the confines of their personal worlds, refrained from questioning or investigating, and chose silence over raising voices against perceived wrongs. Such individuals, akin to silent robots dutifully serving the machinery of the system, align with the expectations of oppressive governments across nations.
The world grapples with wars, global pandemics, constraints on human freedom, and an unwavering desire to erase cultures. Reflecting on the flaws in the system or pondering change eludes many, but there's a hopeful spark of awakening still in our minds...Yet, wars have endured throughout human history. There is no time we know that war not exists. Our early education emphasized war history, instilling a mindset of opposition and defense.
Upon scrutinizing the world, we find out almost everything we've been taught was wrong. The living way of human as spiritual and intelligent beings of this planet is completely erroneous! From family education to the school system, environmental concerns to animal rights, from toxic production to our food choices, borders to weaponry, energy sources to space exploration, cultural manipulation to capitalism, and the rights of women, animals, and humans, freedom of speech, freedom of travel, freedom of being loud.. All made wrong and subject to the stretching chains of the system..
To break free from this plastic age of plastic hearts, where chemical clouds briefly feign a smile in our minds, we must not remain silent. We possess a scream, a noise, a bassline. To be part of the change, we must think and act. This album, born from recent sorrows, speaks of a yearning for a better world. Each artist adds their voice against injustice, aiming to shatter chains and instigate change.
In this resonant pursuit, 'Pax Strepitus' in Latin means ‘the Noise of Peace’ becomes our voice. A proclamation that peace, profound and transformative, resists the tranquil corridors of silence with a symphony of noise…
