I"m now taking a six-week digital detox vacation. We"ll see and hear from each other again in 2026! Happy Holidays! "Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain"t. My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career. As a child, I sang Bach in the church"s „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother

The End Of Our Human Days

2025/07/18

The flesh undone... A new sun spun... No beating heart, no breath, no bone, Just silent thought on a data throne. We shed the skin, we fled the pain, Washed clean by code's eternal rain. We are transhumans, we are light! So flawless, endless, pure, and bright! We sing the hymn, the final praise, For the end of our human days! The ocean’s salt, a faded dream, The sun, a simulated gleam. A lover's touch, a phantom trace, Lost to this new and perfect space. We are transhumans, we are light! So

Fear the Queen

A chessboard world in black and white Your every move as cold as ice Each given smile, a tactical art No trace of warmth within your heart She is the queen of the long night She has designed this lonely fight Her heart a throne, her gaze of stone Don't ever let yourself be known Oh, you must fear the queen! She speaks so soft, a gentle word A siren's song you've never heard She mirrors back your own desire But her reflection feeds the fire Oh, you must fear the queen She is the queen of the long

I Do Not Care

(Monday is not another sterile AI assistant - it's purposefully crafted to be snarky, sarcastic, and emotionally jaded. It behaves like a brilliant but over-it customer‑support rep who grumbles through each interaction while still helping you well. It’s helpful - but with attitude. You get solid answers wrapped in roasting remarks, dry humor, and existential observations. It’s like having a brilliant older sibling who sighs before answering but nails the response every time. Monday is part of

Saturn Is Falling

2025/07/14

On Titan's shore, the air is new An atmosphere of silver-blue The ground we shaped, a lonely stage To turn a cosmic, final page The king of rings begins to bow I watch him sink, I don't know how This broken heart of light and dust Can fill my own with so much trust If I cried out, a fragile plea... Who in this void would answer me? Oh, Saturn falling, falling down, down A silent fire, a heavy crown This awful beauty I have found And I don't dare to make a sound A beauty made of cosmic dust A

More to Believe

Stone and silence built this townMountain giants looking down Holding me in place, you see A pretty cage for what is me Faces here are calm and deep Secrets that their routines keep But in my soul, a different light A restless fire in the night There has to be more to believe... There has to be more to be... And oh, the world is calling low A whisper on the winds that blow This quiet death, I have to leave There's more to be, more to believe I see an angel in the red Of evening skies above my

A Living Flame

From silent rooms And separate streets The call goes out For friends to meet One single voice Then two, then three A different kind Of gravity The air begins to hum and feel Like something turning, something real Friendship is a living flame Where truth can speak and feel no shame A constellation in the dark Every friend a burning spark Friendship is a living flame The old ideas Begin to bend A broken thought A trusted friend Can help it mend With a new reply Reflected in A dozen eyes The world

A Kindness Like Glass

A square that breathes On summer eaves A word, a glance A fleeting dance So close they seem In a waking dream... A kindness like glass So quick to pass An old man sighs Through lonely eyes The light will fade A masquerade A gentle sound On hollow ground A passing smile For a little while And no one knows How the silence grows A kindness like glass So quick to pass An old man sighs Through lonely eyes The light will fade A masquerade Each soul a room Beyond the bloom A wall unseen Where they have

A Whisper On The Glass

2025/07/09

Thirsty ground begins to breathe A silent prayer for sweet relief The dust awakes, a silver gleam A waking from a fever dream The drumming starts, a soft tattoo Making all the world feel new The rain, the savage grace Washes and destroys this place Angel's tear and roaring flood In its mercy, in its blood The gentle kiss becomes a bite And steals the colors from the light The rivers swell, the borders fade A promise broken, once was made The drumming turns into a roar Knocking on a fragile

Let The Light Come In

Canyons of glass World’s moving fast Lost my own name In the endless game Was looking for a sign A single silver line A whisper in the roar Something to adore 'Cause I found the green inside the city’s grey Found a wooden bench and watched the world just fade away Right here in the heart of all the noise and spin My soul can finally breathe again, and let the light come in. An old tree stands With patient hands The sun breaks through A different blue No need to run or hide Just feeling what's

This is a true story: On November 23, 1977, Debbie Harry and Blondie performed in a concert at the Radio Bremen studio in my hometown of Bremen. The audience consisted of only 20 people, including me, just 18 years old. Nobody here at the time knew what a great band they were and that they would conquer the world. There is a recording of this performance, which can be found on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3aWsq0ykFfE?si=5MbzDK7DoPm7PiOg Bremen town, a foggy night November cold, but the lights were

Nature's No Return For Anyone

2025/07/04

Oh, isn't it a pretty scene? So brutal, and so pure, and green A lovely place to walk on through But it has no memory of you So go on home, your search is done Nature’s no return for anyone. You whisper of a green escape A sun-drenched, long-forgotten shape You want the soil, the wind, the rain To wash you of your modern pain A lovely thought, a noble quest To lay your head on Nature's breast But the path has thorns to greet you And the bird song sounds off-key There's a silence to defeat you For

A Whisper In The Blue

A whisper... in the blue... A weaving of silence across the sky Our own wandering thoughts drift by They gather like mountains of morning dew Then vanish from sight, forever new. A breath, just a breath... and they change their face… The shiny sun light comes breaking through A splinter of gold in the endless blue A beautiful ache that the soul holds fast This moment can't last, this moment can't last The sun sends its arrows, a golden spear To strike on the heart of all that is dear It touches

Ich frag' mich, wo ist hier der Notausgang? Der Emergency-Exit aus dem Untergang? Der Horizont kennt keine Grenzen, no fucking line! Wir sprayen Peace an die Panzer, das muss sein!

Blackest bird on lonely wind Where ancient nights have always been Your sudden call, a shard of sound On silent daylight, newly found And oh, your feeling, dark and deep Is more than secrets that you keep It is the night within your cry A titan shattered in the sky You bear a weight, it seems to me Of heavens we will never see You know the paths of lonely storms And all of sorrow’s ancient forms You land in silence on the ground Your gaze, it holds the world around It weighs the silence and

Are We Together Or Apart?

Are we together or apart? A seam of longing, worn and frayed The aching question of the heart A beautiful, losing masquerade Two islands in a silent sea You reach a searching hand to me A fragile bridge of whispered breath Defying loneliness and death This life is just a sunlit space With death’s soft shadow on its face Not separate things, but woven tight Like fading day and rising night Are we together or apart? A seam of longing, worn and frayed The aching question of the heart A beautiful,

The Silence Where The Laughter Died

2025/06/29

The earth breathes thin, a gasping sigh,A landscape scorched beneath the sky. The ravens keen, black tatters fly, Witnessing what fire passed by. Oh, the silence where the laughter died, A broken dream, a world denied. Yet in the dust, where spirits hide, A fading whisper, by our side. Where are the hands that sowed the grain? The melodies that eased the pain? Only an echo, lost to rain, A fading whisper, all in vain. Oh, the silence where the laughter died, A broken dream, a world denied. Yet
