Introducing Tale Teller Club: A Journey of Music, Art, and Healing Welcome to the world of the Tale Teller Club, a unique musical experience that goes beyond the ordinary and reaches into the realms of art, wellness, and intellectual exploration. Since its inception in 2020, this innovative band has been part of Sarnia de la Mare Enterprises, a multifaceted creative project that brings together music, video production, and fashion under one artistic umbrella. With support from the Future's Venture Foundation through an arts grant, the Tale Teller Club was born to explore new ways of achieving enlightenment through music. Tale Teller Club isn’t just your typical band—it’s an ever-evolving experiment. Our work blends jazz and classical traditions with cutting-edge technology, constantly pushing the boundaries of sound. We don’t shy away from marrying genres and techniques, whether it’s low-tech experimentation with found sounds or high-tech manipulation through vocoders, samples, and...

The alarm went off with its usual gusto and Mary trundled, heavy-footed, across the room. She hurdled with athletic ease, straight over the large sleeping cat making her way to the loo. Then, true to form, popped the kettle on and shoved two pieces of toast into the toaster still half asleep. The rescue, who was called Simon due to a previous owner, was a cat with a catalogue of neurosis and allergies whom she adored. He lay sprawled across the shaggy rug over the underfloor heating and, just as he did every morning, miraculously avoided being trodden on by his busy owner. He was used to her now. He trusted her, finally, after the early teething problems where her strange behaviour had put into question all they had learned about cat ladies. He had assumed cat ladies were either virgins or frigid, many were broken-hearted even and, quite often, bookish. Simon loved their books. They were so warm and comfortable to sit on. Unbeknown to his new owner, Simon had had a lot of other owners...

  Welcome to Immersion, you have reached Strata 13 When a human is put under stress from within their environment, there is an increase in anxiety and stress hormone, epinephrine, also known as Adrenaline. This hormone 'rush' can feel like anxiousness, nervousness, or excitement. Human soldiers, for example, have been seen to find extreme violence euphoric, ecstatic, and even addictive. Feelings of 'amped up' anxiety are necessary for survival. Often the hormone rushes in such extreme situations will lead to a human's increased ability to concentrate, feelings of immortality, and a distraction from pain. Blood vessels contract to direct more blood to major muscle groups increasing strength for up to an hour after any such stressful event. The power of a machine, an android, an artificial intelligence program, etc., is not linked to hormone releases. The ability to increase strength could be programmed into robots as an extra storage source, when needs must, but such...

Strata 12: Shabra and the Basement People (Emotions) The Book of Immersion, Volume 1 In a dystopian future where androids imitate humanity and tribes fight for survival, Shabra leads a small group on a perilous journey through the chaotic underworld of Strata 12. Here, survival depends on knowing the right people, staying hidden, and moving fast. Shabra, confident and streetwise, guides Renyke, a conflicted android struggling with the discomfort of newfound emotions, through a labyrinth of gang territories, black-market dealings, and existential threats. At the heart of this chapter lies an exploration of human emotions and their role in decision-making, relationships, and survival. Renyke, built with mimicked empathy, is increasingly aware of his dissonance with the raw emotions that surround him. Meanwhile, Shabra’s instinct-driven survival tactics clash with the cold logic of Renyke’s POS (Programmed Operating System), leaving him caught between trust and fear. The group's journ...
