Nice People
or how air vibrates

A music operation
for tripled humans shaping a crowd
by Myster Shadow-Sky

As a French born composer, let me precise why my music is not, or bad, performed in France:

France is not a land with people who like music.
Otherwise, my music would be performed non-stop.
Even when they rest from fighting every day for power,
- Power for domination -,
French like first to talk.
Silence, in France is 1st disturbed by conversations.
The French taste society life to gossip.
[called in French 'mondanité': cocktail * party?
Attitude we can also find in NYC and LA - in rich cities -
in 'sold contemporary art world' driven by rich spouses].
These people behave affected
[to hide who they are. Why? What do they are afraid of?]
The major weapon for domination in France is the language.
How you use it to speak to others.
There is a dominant accent, with precise pronunciation,
That put other French accents in a certain disadvantage.
You can humiliate anyone only with few words.
Particularly if you are well informed
about hidden private behaviours of your opponent.
You can reveal them to beat your opponent. Means that:
Everyone in France is the opponent of anyone. Yes.
Everyone in France is the opponent of anyone. In France,
it exists a constant balance of aggression, only by talking.
This art of killing with words is a branch of the rhetoric.
The rhetoric was initiated and developed by the ancient Greek.
These talking people were called: Sophist.
Gorgias is the best known because of the Plato dialogue with Socrates.
Rhetoric is the art of persuasion.
Mostly for 3 assemblies: the court, the senate and people.
You understand now how politics dominates French behaviours.
And you understand why an attorney can become a politician.

* You know what it means cock and tail.
Cock is: or the bird, or the male sex in an erection.
And tail is a tail that could also designate an erected cock.
For rich affected Americans, to pronounce 'cock' in society sounds profoundly vulgar.
Everyone around the table, mostly rich middle-class people, is shocked by hearing the word
that 1st designate a bird singing at dawn.

 

WHAT IS
THIS ABOUT?

'Nice People' is essentially a vocal music, acted by synchronized several triplets human beings, together shaping a crowd;
How many triplets to get the sensation of a crowd? is ad libitum (= as you like).
By mixing the triplets, it creates a Unique Entity singing-speaking-fighting at the same time.
Each trio or triplet behaves 'strictly synchronized' singing, speaking, and fighting.
The purpose of that triplet time synthesis is less to be synchronized than to generate another 4th new different entity.

Each trio or triplet is perfectly synchronized in sound and movement to maintain its 4th entity.
Otherwise, the fourth entity from their exceptional synchronized triplet cannot exist; or it is lost.
Each 4th entity is made with a triplet who are: 1 singer, 1 actor or actress, 1 stuntman or stunt woman:

. If the singer is a female, the speaker is a male.
. If the singer is a male, the speaker is a female.
. If the speaker is a male, the stunt is a woman.
. If the speaker is a female, the stunt is a man.

 

It is interesting to figure that a complete human being is a complementary of female and male sex.
The conscious self [le
Moi] has its complementary in the opposite sex with the unconscious self [le Soi].
Or: in each human being, there is the balance female/male:
  A body male with a female spirit.
  A female body with a male spirit.
Where the proportion male/female differs in each full divided individual.
One sex is the reverse of the other. To fit together.
Always.
The 2 extremes of this male/female balance are:
- 100% body male with 0% female spirit
and at the opposite:
- 100% body female with 0% male spirit
Even if it is denied by dominant males having a female part inside.
Even if it is denied by submissive females having a male part inside.
Out of 'affected attitudes'
[attitude took from others]
to mark (= to relieve his/her fear) in what proportion our individuality belongs.

Also,
It exists human beings that belong to any group.

 

Operatically or operationally that unique situation creates 3 scenes (not as separated stage) in the same act in the same place:

1. The singing in and from our dream lives
2. The speaking in and from our awake lives
3. The chaotic fighting among the audience in and from our social lives

Stage designing the triplet is in same space separated:

1. The singers are everywhere in space: their voices are flying in space like a strong ghosts presence.
2. The speakers are wise men and women exchanging ideas and drinking alcohol around a table.
3. The stuntwomen and stuntmen are fighting people among the audience generating a big confusion by shocking and exploding things around: light harmless things like carton boxes, exploded balloons, smashed panes, among a set of percussion: drums, gongs, tubes, metal plates sounding storm, and everything else.

Common rhythm

To synchronize the time between talking, singing, and fighting
which in normal condition each of one moves by its own rhythm,
their common rhythm will sound and moves strange and weird.
And that is the point!

 

 

The long overture of this music operation is: Tension, a music written in 1982:

OVER/TURE:

Tension (1982) music for 3 doubled musicians performing 1. high rubbing strings, 2. low rubbing strings, and 3. percussion, with a stuntman, and stuntwoman at the end, also with beating red light synchronized to the 3 seen performers beating heart (not the doubles backstage), in addition: 3 live video portraits: a triptych, also spasm shaking crumpled sonic clothes with contact microphones, the vices are amplified with through microphones, a glass pane to be crossed by a stunt, and 3 glass pane on wheels as percussion, and rain too, etc. This overture answer to that question: How suffering is sufferance and how it is felt? The singing in Tension is the scream. . Get the description and the score here.

 

 

The short explosion of this operation is: Nice People, music being written in 2025:

1st ACT:
Peace or War?
How to live to die?
being rid and free from our
hypocrite moral or instil principles.

And how moral dogma cannot sound hypocrite?

"NICE PEOPLE sounds like a slogan
from a communication enterprise
willing a nice cover to hide its corruption"
Yes, it is.

There are 3 actions happening at the same time:

1. a conversation between 'wise people' (?) drinking alcohol around a table in one place
2. mixed with a double, a singer singing everywhere else: because of their singing voices flying in three-dimensional space
1+2. The speaker and singer are 2 voices in one in perfect synchronization. Making the 2 voices being one. A female for a male and vice and versa.
        It is called A SYNTHESIS: 2 different mixed sounds giving a 3rd different sound
3. an agitation made by a general fight among the audience by stunt men and women. With falling and explosion things everywhere.
1+2+3. In addition, the fighters are a triple of the speakers and the singers.
           The synthesis link between the triplets is the perfect synchronization between singing/speaking/dancing at the exactly same rhythm.
1+2+3. The triplet number of dreamer singers, wise people speaking, and stunt fighters are: 10 or ad libitum. *
            It means that to obtain a colourful music: more triplets are, richer is the music.
            Fewer triplets there are, more accompanying musical instruments must be: or: the orchestra must be larger to full the gap of missing triplets.

Each singer of the triplet is singing on an independent nonoctave scale.
For that, to give the tone of the voice,
1 scaled polyphonic or 1 polyscalar polyphonic musical instrument, keyboard or strings, is attached to 1 triplet.

The synthesis of the link between the synchronized individuals of the triplets is time, in the rhythm.
The spatial link is the acoustic architecture of the performance place;
      which is not an opera house, neither a concert hall,
      but a unique place with a unique acoustic
      to enjoy real music lovers to listen to the music in an unusual context.
      A different architecture at each performance.
The rhythm of the fight is the rhythm of the singing which is the rhythm of the speech.
Each singing gives the rhythm of the triplets, to the speaker and the stunt-fighter.

 

*
- How many people for how many triplets: speaking/singing/fighting?
- It depends on the production!
- It depends of the connection between talking singing fighting people!

- There is not a designated character for each line:
- Each speaker of the triplets choose his/her replies together with others in the text.
- One line can be spoken by several.

- There is in this 1st act: more than 68 replies (for now) to share with others.
- Replies in square brackets are said by the same person singing speaking but with an other voice [more an other identity than an other accent].
- There are mixed spoken languages English + French (?). And other languages? It can be. And all languages can be subtitled. Everywhere in space.
- To understand what it is said and sang by the audience, the projection of subtitles stays discreet as possible although they are everywhere in space.
- The sang text is phonetic (= to colour the voice), because meaning of words less matter than sensations, communicated to touch
- [A language of the body and matter?].
- Double square brackets indicate additional events.
- Cutting lines makes the global rhythm be urgent.
- Cutting the speech by someone else is indicated by: "..." at the end of the sentence, and at the beginning of the line "..." for the 'cutter'.

 

Here, starts
the spoken libretto,
the singing is phonetic,
[in progress]:

[The number of syllables
is not the spoken rhythm.
S for syllable, T for time]

FAST:

2S - Pleasant?
4S - Educated?
3S - Obedient?
6S - Never hurting, no one?
4S - Smiling. Always?
1S - And?…

4S - A nice person...
5S - by being pleasant:
8S - ... does it mean to be likeable?
     |- Une personne sympathique parce qu'agréable est-elle plaisante ?
5S - This is not enough!
9S - to engage a trust in a friendship.
     |- Ça ne suffit pas ! pour engager sa confiance dans une amitié.
9S - Do we not have to be confident?
    |- Méfiance ?
5S - Stays vigilant? But...
9S - To not trust anyone: isolates
7S - Stay away from being fooled?
3S - And for what?
    |- Et pour quoi ?
11S - Being fooled by simplistic explanations!
6S - The reason is simple:
    |- La raison est simple :
8S - "No one can please everyone."
    |- « personne ne peut plaire à tout le monde ».
10S - If you pleased one, you displeased the other
    |- Si tu plait à l'une, tu déplait à l'autre.
8S - Being loved by everyone!
    |- Être aimé de tous !
12S - It doesn't work, or only by tricks with make-up.
     |- ça ne marche que par l'artifice du maquillage.
12S - No one can be nice, without the moral social makeup to behave.
     |- Personne ne peut être aimable sans le maquillage moral du decorum social
9S - It is why heroes were created
12S - Heroes (and divinities) are made up beings
6S - to please everyone
9S - A social fake to not feel unloved
6S - Among everyone

9S - ... be understood by everyone...
13S - human beings are attracted to differences
9S - to be able to differentiate... .
6S - ... What it is attracting
3S - Uniqueness!
10S - Being unique, you can't be similar!
1S - So?
16S - In similarity, everyone wants to be different.
- Let's say that way: attraction differentiates to be united in similarity
- Differences are in mutual attraction
- Being similar is repulsive, because your identity vanishes:
- Being similar, you cannot be noticed.
- In opposite side: repulsion similarizes to extract ourselves from any assimilation.
- That sounds paradoxical!
- Attraction similarizes, repulsion distinguishes!
- No! because the reverse here of the reverse there does not annihilate their complementarity.
- Differences/Similarity is the engine of Attraction/Repulsion
- Which is the engine of life.

6S - Therefore, a nice person...
    |- Donc, une personne agréable...
13S - ... Who wants to be appreciated by everyone...
     |- (à vouloir être plaisante pour être appréciée par tout le monde)

    |- à vouloir donner à voir une attitude familière  :
    |- similaire
    |- Qu'être agréable.
    |- à chaque personne au comportement, différent
5S - To be and act nice...
5S - ... is a sacrifice
    |- C'est un sacrifice.
- Because you cannot act by yourself.
- You are acted by moral doctrine by agreement
- And here your agreement testifies your docile obedience
- Nice people suffer from being hypocrites
    |- Les personnes agréables en société souffrent d'hypocrisie.
- Hypo means inside and crisis means something wrong
    |- Hypo = intérieur, crisis = crise.
- Undoubtedly!
    |- Indubitablement !

2S - Again
6S - If it pleased, it displeased.
    |- si ça, plait à quelqu'un, ça déplait à une autre.

11S - Flattery is the basic behaviour of Nice People.
    |- La flatterie est la base conversationnelle des personnes agréables.
- What to tell else to content everybody else?
    |- Que dire d'autre pour contenter les autres ?
- Hearing we have nothing to say to her!
- Hearing we have nothing to say to him!
- Hearing we have nothing to say to them!
    |- Puisqu'on n’a rien à leur dire !
- Talking exist mostly to connect

    |- Que de paraître pour être aimée.
- Nice people are suffering human beings
    |- Les personnes agréables sont des personnes qui souffrent
- Hard for them to let it go
    |- qui refusent de lâcher leur souffrance.
- Believing living without suffering will erase heir sense of life
    |- qui refusent se débarrasser de leur souffrance.
- Holding and hiding its suffering characterize Nice People.
    |- en société, la rétention de la souffrance cachée caractérise les personnes agréables.
- The lack of trust
- By suffering betrayal experience
- forbid friendship
    |- L'absence de confiance envers les autres, interdit l'amitié
- That perpetuates inside suffering
- Hiding its suffering obliges to behave hypocritically
- Conventional behaviours known by everyone
    |- ça montre leur méfiance dissimulée par un comportement emprunté
- To not hurt anyone
    |- qui ne doit froisser personne
- A hurt person is a human from who is revealed what s/he hides to others
    |- une personne froissée est une personne à qui est révélé ce qu'elle cache aux autres
- Or, Nice People amuse everyone, because they behave so artificial
    |- ou les personnes agréables amusent tout le monde, tellement elles expriment l'artifice.
- And put others who perceive s/her suffering in an uncomfortable feeling
    |- Et met mal à l'aise les autres qui perçoivent sa souffrance.

- In the soundings subconscious depths
    |- Dans les profondeurs sondables de l'inconscient,
- Nice People are possessed persons by the fear from others
    |- les personnes agréables sont des personnes possédées de la terreur des autres
- Nice People are protected persons from a deep contempt against all others

    |- les personnes agréables se protègent d'un mépris sans égal envers les autres.
- Nice People are nice because they feel permanently threatened
- They dislike everyone and hate societies because they feel permanently threatened
    |- les personnes agréables le sont parce qu'elles se sentent menacées, en permanence.

12S - Being always nice with others, is that make nice people?
- At each decision, each step of our lives, there is: the choice how to be:
- one. honest, or two. dishonest. Always.
- This every day binary choice, according to what advantage we want to, decides if we are honest or dishonest.
- In what sense honesty can arm [nuire] people and dishonesty can please people.
- Does Nice People are, by necessity, cheaters and trickster?
- We have to be suspicious. Not to be disappointed. To have been betrayed. By too much confidence in Nice People.
- Si « Nice People » fait penser à un slogan publicitaire !
- C'est parce que les affichages publicitaires en ont abusé !
- Montrant une jeunesse joyeuse (épanouie ? non faussement heureuse)...
- ... de consommer par avoir acheter le produit réclamé... une patte à mâcher une boisson gazeuse...
- ... que la réalité contredit.
- La force du politicien est de ne jamais montrer sa colère qu'il masque par un sourire de pitié,
- c'est la forme du mépris de la gentillesse.
- Where are Nice People? in our disgusting world built by fear?
- Everywhere!
- Now here and nowhere! Like kindness.
- Kind and honest (not necessarily nice outside but with infinite kindness inside) people 1rst do not want to arm people.
- Even by being ‘nice’.
- Polite?
- Yes, politeness is the Nice People major behaviour.
- Which cannot be mixed up with courtesy.
- Politeness is to polish to equalize: to make differences similar.
- Courtesy is an attitude that care about others, where politeness in contrary is an educated behaviour acting hypocrisy.
- There is not a better way to humiliate people by being nice and polite against aggression and vulgarity.
- Vulgarity and aggression make people feel guilty in front of a ‘nice authority’,
- Therefore it makes them feel weaker in a fight without physical fighting.
- The fight without physical fighting is the speciality of our dictatorship political regime we call: democracy.
- This is how works domination in our societies since 5 millennia.
- It is how domination acts on humans: to make of them: obedient ‘Nice People’ by ‘Nice People’ in command.
- If psychological weakness is required in a relationship, it means that violence is dominant in our societies.
- This violence, the one that rape people. To make them obey like ‘everyone else’:
- To make of humans a sea of obedience without waves i.e. people.
- People are a governed population.
- Peuple, pueblo are assembled slaves, by giving up their will, to work for nothing.
- The Latin 'populus' means population not people.
- To work to build and maintain an indestructible Empire convinced being protected by it!
- Protected from what?
- From nonexistent enemies.
- A state a nation exists only because of nonexistent enemies.
- To exist, a State has to invent false enemies: to organize 'a protection' against them.
- Protection means: war.
- Without enemies, there is no war. ‘To occupy our lives with war, we have to create enemies’.
- More kind you pretend to be, more violent you are.
- Yes, look at the policemen, how they can kill so easy anyone with their pistol, they behave (1st) always nice.
- And then, when you refuse to obey appears their educated violence to arm you badly physically and psychologically.
- Is that the way to live together in confidence in peace in harmony? Certainly not!

- Gentle means today in English acting softly.
- Without sudden and unexpected gesture.
- Without violence?
- Without apparent violence.
- Unexpected suddenness is an accident and is what the insurance companies prevent to repair the damages. If it is paid.
- A hidden anger doesn’t mean this nice human is peaceful.
- Gentle (as gentlemen different from gentlefolks) meant ‘to be born in a noble family’.
- In French, to be gentle means to be nice ‘gentil’ (as 'gentilhomme' living a parasitic life in the king court).
- Notice that any king or politicians are living a parasitic life from taxes.
- The French word ‘gens’ means people in English, but 'gens' means also: ‘servants’.
- Does gentlemen are people?
- Un gentilhomme est-il un homme du peuple ?
- Un homme gentil : oui. L'homme gentil est l'élément de base formant les sociétés humaines à domination hiérarchisée.
- The Latin root ‘gentilis’ indicates the attachment to a family.
- But a family in the Roman Empire was not the today family, but everyone living under the same roof,
- including the foreign slaves, servants workers living in the house, exclusively.
- In French this kind (is it kind?) of family is called ‘maisonnée’. It still exists! mostly in win rich farm.

SOLO
- The kindest honest people I met in my entire life was in a psychiatric hospital! Not the doctors or nurses (without mentioning the guards), but the considered sick people. It was clear that the sickness was vibrating outside the hospital. The air outside the hospital was full of pending aggression. Inside the hospital, even being an uncomfortable place for intimate life, the air breathes peacefulness. Were these nice people really sick? No more than the people living outside the hospital. Or let us say that the hospital was ruled by the patients who make believe the doctors being in charge. The Nice People are human beings too fragile to live the permanent trivialized aggression of our societies. Normal people are humans who have built a resistant psychological armour to forget the aggressive vibration of the air of the world.

- The 1st natural behaviour between Nice People is to never use any command word: ‘do this’, ‘bring me that’, ‘stay here’, ‘don’t move’, etc., even with ‘please’! Never! These command words always remain deep in the unpleasant social life, and testifies to the existence of our general cultural trivialized social constant aggression. Nice People feel that in the air’s vibration.

- Being nice and using command words reveals its hypocrisy.
- This is our genuine problem, shaping and living our human societies.

 

2d ACT:
willing peaceful or warfare life?
Or how to die to live?

- A fight is not a war, same as a battle, it doesn’t mean that there is a war.
- In French the word ‘bagarre’ meaning ‘a general fight’ or ‘not a single combat’, its origin is lost or unknown.
- The war is constant, a battle or a fight is ephemeral.
- ‘Bagarre’ is also called a: ‘rixe’ [from Latin 'rixa'] in English: brawl, fight and scuffle.
- Could be coming from Provençal (South of France) even from the unknown origin language: the Basque.
- One is 'bagarro' the other is 'batzarre' a confusion of confused people in a meeting.
- 'Bazar' means in French: too many things in disorder, a Persian word for 'market'.
- We think about people gathering in a bar…
- where the fight is started!
- because one of a drunk customer is being provoked by an excess of energy given by the alcohol
- mixed with an excess of anger, coming from ‘a not resolved frustration’: a humiliation.
- A bar fight is the result of an overflowing of outburst: where the container cannot contain the content
- where the body cannot content anymore its anger.
- That starts the shoot! The shocks! The explosion of knocks.
- A big mess of knocks? Is it a music for percussion?
- A general fight explode because there is an excess of frustration to get rid of, in each fighter.
- A fight is a psychological pain killer in exchange for some bruises.
- A fight expels the frustrations.
- About bruise, notice that: ‘bruit’ in French is ‘noise’ in English!
- And: ‘noises’ in French means ‘quarrel’ in English!
- ‘tu cherches des noises?’ = ‘are you looking for a fight?’
- To churches in noise?
- To mean war, the Roman ‘bellum’ was replaced by the Frankish ‘werra’.
- There is no explanation why in French, the G replaced the W.
- Frankish came from Germany.
- The Frankish Empire replaced the Roman Empire.
- Like always, since 5 millennia: by organizing an army to destroy everything else.
- The reason for an Empire to exist is to make the war, constantly.
- The desire of any constant war is driven by the individual fear of frustrated people:
- Both obedient and in command.
- Gathering scarred people creates first a city then a nation.
- Borders exist only because fear exists (inside the borders).
- Only a general fear can create and maintain a war.
- Look how a nation can grow a permanent army, ready for aggression with weapons that can exterminate any life on Earth.
- Extermination is mixed up with power: the political power.
- And her is the core of the knot of the war: incompetent and useless felt people seek to arm others to find relief…
- But like that, it doesn’t work! Never! In contrary, the inside pain of the leader becomes bigger.
- Adolf commit a suicide not because he was losing the war, but because he couldn’t bear the intensity of his pain.
- It is a pathological revenge: more the inside suffering of the leader is strong, more the war is painful for everyone.
- War is a political invention.
- It needs fear: the one cultivates in everyone together.
- War started when the 1st cities rose.
- When the 1st wall surrounding a city, rose.
- Security and protection means: permanent war.
- It is always driven by the fear.

- The core of this cultivated human kind pain comes from the idea: 'I am not able to survive my proper life'.
- How this idea came and invaded most of human brains to be acted by fear?
- According to palaeontologists, it took 8,000 years to grow up the fear idea in human mind:
- from -11,000 BC to -3,000 BC
- We are living now, all human kind, with some tiny exceptions, this peculiar fear for 5,000 years.
- Compared to the existence of mankind, starting with Homo Erectus 1.5 million years ago!
- How the feeling of terror spread in all human mind?
- From few to everyone…
- Shit and effort take time to exist.
- To convince you need to vanquish.
- A believer is a vanquished human.
- Vain is the fear, or fear stopped the intelligence to grow.
- Because intelligence can escape from fear.
- To stay in fear you must stay ignorant
- And to stay ignorant you have to be driven by the belief.

- The religion (= the institution of hypocrite mysticism) is the 2d arm of the politics.
- Politics manages bodies to work. Religion manages minds to believe:
- that this is the only life possible for people.
