Like in the rest, Clean Future is always the dissonant note. They love the logic and minimalist things, this is the reason why they don’t have pubs or party rooms in their Supercities. But they have street artists that represent without words tales and stories. They use the music and the sound effects to put the public in a situation.

I base this in the Japanese, Chinese and Thai artists and theaters.

The Supercities were unique places. Clean Future created them very fast using concrete and plastic structures and the debris of the old Capital Cities. These places were equal between them, with the same number of buildings, made in the same order and with the same structure. Each Supercity had:

• A Hospital
• A School, Library & College
• A City Hall
• A Clean Minds Quarter (they are the security/army of Clean Future)
• And then the main square surrounded by apartment blocks that form other small squares in their center. Each block had a restaurant, a recycling center and the bathrooms. So the apartments didn’t have a bathroom or kitchen on them, so this way Clean Future could control the resources and the wastes.
• The last building in the Supercities was the Spheres. These buildings were the home of the workers of the City Hall. The Elite of the Supercities.

Although these cities were for Clean Future the perfect idea for a perfect society (under control in every sense, equal, clean and separate from the natural life that they considered sacred), it wasn’t the idea of the normal people.

The Supercities was created by the survivors of the Hard War that wanted to recover their old comfortable life. When the first Supercities were finished, Clean Future imposed a Competency Test to choose the “best” from the survivors. These ones were the first to enter the Supercities. However, even when they were “the best”, they were normal people that miss the parties and the music. So they were the ones to give “soul” to the Supercities with their music and performances. Clean Future allowed it but under their rules. So the citizens were prohibited create any type of pub or consume in public any type of music, but they allowed to them created street performances and play some metal instruments that Clean Future had approved first. Also, the citizens used sound effects, light effects and special effects to bright life to their stories.

In the present, the Supercities was abandoned after the attack of GWFCE in 2011 and now are called Bones. However, some parts of them became in big Anarchies and this allowed this unique type of music to continue existing. The Radicals are different between them and some have other styles of music more close to the Rock or the Heavy Metal, but the most part of them continue using the Clean Future music, instruments and performances.

So in my mind, the Anarchies are a combination between Mad Max and Memoirs of a Geisha.

Rites’ music is unique. They use crafted instruments made whit wood, shells, crystal bottles, metal items, etc., to make their melodies but the use of the voice is the most important instrument for them.

I based their music and even the sounds in the folklore music from Galicia, the Cantigas and in the Muñeiras, and in the Celtic music.

The Rites have been existing since the first Dark Zone appeared in 1975. The Rites formed with the people that were abandoned by the governments. They lived in farms or villages and when the Energetic Crisis began they were the first to be left aside. There are many different types of Rites, some more crazy, some more violent, others are just normal people that decided to live isolated under their own law. But something that has in common is the music.

Even before of became into Rites, these people lived separated from the Capital Cities, so their music was always more traditional. It is true that they had TV and Radio, but the music that they sang, played and listened to every day was their own music.
