basis of all life structure so complex in perspective, so simple there is always something new walls for every cell except for animalia - supports the cell - does not allow for movement membrane containing proteins made of two layers of phospholipids which are selectively permeable inside this membrane are proteins -- they act as channels to let larger particles in and out ribosomes assemble proteins nucleus contains the cell's DNA endoplasmic reticulum assembles lipids, proteins, etcetera adrift in cytoplasm golgi body modifies/sorts/packages proteins for storage, or for transport vacuole stores water/food/waste/etc. lysosomes contain enzymes to break down molecules/recycle cell parts adrift in cytoplasm nucleolus assembles ribosomes chloroplast converts sun energy to chemical energy mitochondria convert chemical energy to useful energy adrift in cytoplasm flagella and cilia provide locomotion passive transport requires no energy moving from high to low concentration there are 3 kinds: - osmosis (water) - diffusion - facilitated diffusion active transport requires energy moving from low to high concentration there are 2 kinds: - endocytosis -- entrance - exocytosis -- exit interphase: the cell grows and gains nutrients (those for mitosis and DNA duplication) - mitosis: the cells splits into two daughter cells - cytokinesis: the new cell has formed and life goes on and on

Constant consumption has led me to wonder if I'm ready for any of this. I'm dying of death and other things that make life hard to deal with. ------ you're too busy ------ Oh, tiny angel, beaten by the streets and tossed in the gutter alongside a road whose trucks' tires grind our heals like medicine to dust, Oh, tiny angel, given to the wolves to be devoured and spit up, oh, you can't survive here, small and feeble thing, reduced to ashes and the animalistic traits of the society you were murdered by.

d Wahrheit 02:51
People say I'm crazy about you; what am I really, though? I waited, I watched, I analyzed like I always do And I'm better for it, aren't you? 'Cause I feel like we are; it's hard, though, I'm pressed, I fantasize like I always do. Am I your dream? I'm not sure you're mine. Am I a prayer answered? Now, that I can find. I can find truth in just about anything, but can I find the truth in you?

Truth, truth, truth My, myself What really is the subject? The purpose to these words? Here's how words play in my head: repeat t t okay no I - okay I'm so sorry see now I'm acting again - intentions - as I look about the room.... is overshadowed by: these people hate me - they don't know me - they think they do - you don't know that - and what if I got up and spoke & defended - defended what? they said nothing - oh they think it So, if my mind skirts about so aimlessly, That explains why my words do the same critititicism ticism sm So, if I must repeat t t my, myself What use is it tto hear r? Is it because I feel they won't listen? (going inside forcing my, myself back ck ck out t) look at as I listen here the words ring to Is there then purpose to anything I write If all it does is ramble on? Why can't I just be myself? Is that ever enough? Is it a door to the unknown (foggy, blank, formless) world before me? They tell me to study insects They tell me to look far back They say, "To look back is to know how to move forward." What a formula! Mathematics joins us! Look back to move ahead!

d Küste 03:34
I walked down to the shore, the shore, and I saw you waiting there. Dressed all in your night clothes, you sat there waiting for me on the pier. I sat down on the shoreline, the shoreline, waiting for you to come near, and when you did, you came up behind me; I did not feel any fear. My heart leaps every time I hear your voice or even if someone says your name. When I see you, it's like a sunset: I just can't look away. Rain drops down, hits the window, the ocean, and you still have not come home, but in those fleeting moments, I see you, as though just a vapor.

Drastic change in the weather, the weather: you are coming back home.

about

"Rebell-Diamanten / d Küste" is the first music produced by Nashville based recording artist and songwriter, Adam Reid (Flesh Eater, secret friends, Zwil AR). This album represents the years during which Adam was starting to become themselves. Its themes of existentialism, acknowledgment & questioning of physical reality, capitalism, social anxiety, & romanticism are grounded in their queer, teenage experience.

Growing up in Birmingham, AL, Adam attended a Christian school for most of their life. Needless to say, queer role-models were few and far between. It wasn't until their friend Trevelyn Grace Campbell introduced them to Discovery's record "LP" that 10 years of piano lessons began to show purpose. While Adam had written a few songs, they had never heard a masterpiece of digitally produced queer pop. This led to the search for a synthesizer, and they eventually found the KORG R3.

This along with the BOSS RC-30 Loop Station & Presonus StudioOne starter kit, started them on their journey of self-education on digital recording and sample-based composition. RD/dK represents the most complete work from this era.

Originally released as an abridged EP in 2013 to a small audience of family and friends, "RD/dK" has been newly mastered and formatted to its intended form. Though this will mark Zwil AR's 5th solo release with their label Banana Tapes, it truly marks the beginning of their musical career - a revealing predecessor to their first LP, "Gegenseitig Ausschließen."
