Cronocops
WHO BUILT IT?
Welcome to a specific moment in time, an exact snapshot of the first appearance of the Chronocops in our reality! Every millisecond we have a static portrait of all the matter in the universe, a frame of this four-dimensional interaction in which we are inserted and trapped.

With this new artistic project, Lucas Klipsun and Marco Element / 3LMT invite you to break this barrier and, from a single scene, travel to different moments in time, past, present and future, connecting references and unraveling the mysteries of each element presented in the enigmatic room depicted on the cover.

After a long period of tranquility, things suddenly got weird at CronoCops HQ. Relics of old missions recovered their functioning, while their own objects of work began to present defects. Reality is clearly distorted and the explanation can only be one: someone caused a break in time. The duo quickly answers the call and moves to the source of the anomaly: an old warehouse that initially appears to be abandoned, but which after a close look reveals several artifacts that should not be there. The clues are intriguing and every minute new questions proliferated in the head of the duo, who immediately became obsessed with unraveling the mysteries of this timeless room.
But after all, who built it? The title song is an exaltation of collectivism, it has in its lyrics excerpts from the poem A Worker Reads History, written by Bertolt Brecht in 1936, which brings to light the value that each person involved in the process has for the construction of something, people who they often end up having their recognition neglected in historical accounts.
First, let's zoom out and understand the concept of the sacred timeline. In the beginning of time, various multiverses intertwined and conflicted, putting the primordial existence of everything at risk. To prevent collapse, the Time Keepers emerged, entities responsible for reorganizing all multiverses into a single timeline. Since then, they have worked to protect the correct flow of time, so that everything and everyone can coexist in harmony.
Our time travel begins not far away, in 2021, when the second collaboration between 3LMT and Klipsun, Art of Magic, was conceived. The creative partnership between the artists took place with such synergy that soon afterwards it triggered the conception of the project. The name of the song is a reference to Alan Moore, who created the ChronoCops that served as inspiration for the name of the duo and defended that all artistic expressions are forms of magic too, because art is nothing more than the science of manipulating symbols, words, sounds, images to achieve changes in consciousness. This song represents the main objective of Cronocops, which is to provide sensations and transformations in everyone who has contact with their art!
But how does art reach consciousness? First, the body captures the sensory stimuli emitted by the artist, whether through hearing, sight, taste, smell, or touch, which are transformed into electrical impulses that reach the brain, this magnificent machine of nature that connects us to everything, whose complexity still amazes humanity. It is in the brain that previously random combinations of sounds or colors gain meaning, and it is only in the depths of the human mind that art works its magic, conveying a message and becoming part of each individual's life story. Deeper was inspired by a poem by Emily Dickinson from 1862, which is subtly vocalized in the music and praises the brain, comparing its width to that of the skies and its depth to that of the oceans.
In the artistic world, no story starts from scratch, all timelines are intertwined in such a way that there will always be continuity from any moment in time, whether moving towards the future or the past. Perfect Stranger has been an inspiration for Cronocops since the beginning of their artistic lives, and the remix for Clear Vision 07 brings forth feelings and memories from 2008, when the album Free Cloud came into the world and forever transformed the duo's relationship with electronic music.
PERFECT STRANGER
Art is not always comfortable. The artist is a product of their journey through the sacred timeline, and if it brings them difficult feelings, those will be transmitted through their expression, invoking awareness, venting or even calling for help. My Life is a song with vocal samples taken from the poem What They Took With Them, by Jenifer Teksvigque, which takes us to 2015 and connects us to the reality of war refugees, listing in an intertwined way everything these people carried with them in the continuity of their lives, from tangible objects to intangible sensations.
The rules of time are strict, but there is one place where they work in a completely different way, a place we visit practically every night: the world of dreams. In it we can live hours in a few seconds, but this benefit comes at a cost: who defines who we are, where we are and what happens is our subconscious, which will show not necessarily what we want to see, but always what we need. Morphelia is a dive into this intimate and timeless experience, with a name that references Morpheus, the mythological entity that governs the dreams of all humanity, and lines extracted from Sandman, Neil Gaiman's contemporary portrayal of this myth.
Most people fear death, after all, all they know is life. However, have you ever stopped to think how essential death is for life to have meaning? It's because we know that our time here is limited that we have the impetus to accomplish things, transmit ideas and feelings, this notion of urgency is the fuel for the intellectual and social evolution of our species. Life And Death takes us to 2016, when astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson raised these questions in an interview that served as the raw material for the composition of the song.
Destiny is the way that humanity named the sequence of facts that make up the sacred timeline. Deviations cause big changes. The name Heads or Tails refers to the scene from the 2007 film No Country For Old Men, whose lines appear in the song. In this scene, a character's life depends on a result on the toss of a coin, an artifact forged decades before and that passed through countless hands and pockets until reaching that specific moment when its role went far beyond representing a value in money.
Chimeras are mythological beings characterized by the hybrid appearance of different creatures and, symbolically, represent the heterogeneous combination of different elements. They are present in various cultures of the past, with the most diverse formats and meanings. Chimera was the name chosen by Cronocops, Kadum and 4i20 for a song produced by eight hands, which presents a unique sound as a result of the creative fusion between the three projects involved, reminding us that however different we seem to be, we are all part of the same whole.
4i20 KADUM
The ability to communicate was one of the fundamental factors for humanity to become the dominant species on Earth, a biological advantage that was enhanced when we learned to use electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, to communicate over long distances. Radio waves were demonstrated for the first time in 1887 by Heinrich Hertz and represented an important step in the integration between the different peoples that inhabit the planet, allowing information and knowledge to travel at the speed of light. Radio Activity is a collaboration with the Portuguese artist duo Boundless, who added their frequencies in full tune with the CronoCops even though they were an ocean away on the physical plane.
BOUNDLESS
The Sun is our maximum source of energy, with an almost incessant glow in the sky of our planet, being interrupted only when the Moon is positioned between it and the observer. This phenomenon is known as an eclipse, it is when the Sun is dark and day becomes night, shaking the conceptions of reality of many peoples throughout history. Dark Sun is a completely unexpected song, it differs from the rest of the album in several aspects without losing the essence that makes it part of the release, functioning as an invitation to experimentation that continues in the following tracks.
TIAGO SENA
An element that was crucial for this work to reach its fullness was the physical proximity in which the Cronocops live. In 2022, Klipsun left the frontier with Uruguay where he has always lived to put down roots in Paraná, more specifically in Colonia Witmarsum, where 3LMT resides. With daily interaction, the duo strengthened their synergy and friendship, making the creative process more fluid and allowing for more daring experiments. Witechno deviates from the expected standard not only because of the slower beats, but because of its outfit that is very much reminiscent of techno, a style that is a fundamental part of the musical formation of both Cronocops.
Our first journey through the ages comes to an epic end, with thrilling timbres, baffling effects and the long-awaited answer to the question posed in the title. This reality in which you submerged with us, represented by the album cover, the videos, the reflections proposed by this narrative and the songs themselves, was created by Cronocops themselves, 3LMT and Klipsun, who break the fourth wall in the final track to deliver this present, to themselves and to you, who are now part of this story too!
