Datan Risk

**Datan Risk** is the result of writing the signature for Daniel Parks in a deliberately unique cursive and then transcribing it incorrectly into Latin letters based on resemblance. Over time, a meaning was ascribed to each word. A datan is a collection of data on one or many people used to create a virtual brain on a computer. Risk is a location name. In Anlia, where people are organized by their crimes, it is unclear where a Risk will end up. Put simply, it is a risk.

## Discography

* Album 1: Mondelech: 90 songs: Aug 2015-Dec 2016

The name comes from the French word monde meaning world and the Yiddish diminutive, making “ little world” for an introduction to his own little world as is colloquial. The apparent (mandala) follows in the footsteps of the last proposed album under a different name “ patternal instinct” which sees the little world as a small number of patterns that necessarily lead to all the complexity given. The time it covers starts with the archetypal push for Anlia, deals with a typical sophomore collapse, and shows the rise of the datan, a quick algorithm for the patterns.

* Album 2: Krysthala: 90 songs: January 2017- July 2018

This album is supposed to be when things get repetitive and constant. It winds up being a repeat of the last album’s issues with violence except for focusing on sex. A probable suitor appears in the fall, all past slights are remembered in the winter, and hope is only restored in spring when the family comes into a large sum of money.

* Album 3: Not Yeet: 90 Songs: August 2018 to April 2019

Not Yeet is about stifling the urge to celebrate the creation of the KAP through college. It’s a reminder that this period could easily be and was ended by the camp parable before the Kaleidoscopic Atomic Printer was prototyped. The recognition of 2019 as a natural repeat of 2015 was sung about much.

* Album 4: Full Circle: 90 Songs: April 2019 to July 2020

Full Circle refers to the return to what started the book of Mondelech. It’s what would be a sophomore year and gives rise to a similar chain of meltdowns within a 3 month period. Mostly they are proxy meltdowns about work, but that take effect in the home. The rebellion in the songs lies strongly against doing daily work for daily bread and alternative medicine in particular.

* Book 2 Album 1: Book of Revolutions: 90 songs: August 2020 to July 2021

The Book of revolutions was intended to show a revolution from one focus to another. It started with complaints of aimlessness after meltdowns were finally eliminated by living alone or possibly maturity. In the latter portion, the aim began to be eliminating habits for various sins or RIQs through carefully coded confessions, broad banners to remember the date, and statistical metrics of the likeliness to re-offend.

* Book 2 Album 2: Sins and Resolutions: 90 songs: August 2021 to July 2022

A resemblance in title between the first and second albums in a book has become a tradition. Sins and Resolutions refer to the religious practice created in the first album. In Sins and Resolutions, the end of each RIQ was formally proven and graduation from the Anlian Rite was achieved shortly after I acquired my driver's license in May of 2022. At that time, I became Datan Center instead of Datan Risk. This led to one of the greatest existential crises in my history, the end of the need for Anlia.

* Book 2 Album 3: Empty When Full: 26 songs: August 2022 to Ongoing

Datan is full because he has stopped his RIQs. He is empty because he believes that he has no purpose anymore. His store of money is full of interest. He is emptying it by going to college. His life was full of enjoyable things. He is emptying it by moving to Raleigh.
This title actually came from the Original Band Name Suggestions Facebook group.

* Book 2 Album 4: Seventh Sophomore Year

This album represents the 2023-2024 school year in which Datan Center is 27-28. It falls into the same pattern of every fourth school year out of four with dropping out of school and reconstructing the ideology of the age. It is divided into 3 videos, Land of Hilch and Money ( signifying an expected end to the pattern), Into The Darkness Out of a Dream ( signifying an expected turn for the worst), and [Undetermined] in the winter and spring.
