Name: Atra-Hasis (2021) by Andrew Knight-Hill (1986)
Duration: 18 min

ATRA-HASIS - (18 minutes)
Beach soundscapes and choral works sung from portions of the ancient flood myth poem Atra-Hasis.

Written nearly 4000 years ago, the Babylonian Atra-hasis is an iconic poem with an eternal message for mankind. It tells the story of how a thoughtless mankind weighs heavily upon the earth, such that the gods are forced to act. They first send forth a great sickness, then a great famine. But when neither of these can quiet the noise and chaos of humans, they are forced to send forth a great flood to wash away mankind.

These soundscapes and choral works were developed as part of the 'Over Lunan' performance project.

bvdub​ - 'A Different Definition of Love' 
Label; Dronarivm 
Cat #.: DR-52
Format: CD / DL
Release date: March 30th, 2018

Brock Van Wey's bvdub project reaches its landmark 30th full-length album with a special tale of unexpected love and loyalty found, innocence lost, and the silent spaces that remain. 

Black sky hides your stars, 
Fall from the heavens with might, 
Silent you arrive. 
Giants in your path, 
Perish those who stand opposed, 
Felled by love they know. 
Empty spaces yearn, 
To know once again, 
A lost yesterday. 
Through sun and sands dry, 
Oceans drown hearts of steel stars, 
This place remembers. 
We, unstoppable, 
For now we know our two hearts, 
No you, me, only us. 
We fall together, 
Pillars raise towers through sky, 
We rise beyond all.

Pre-orders start soon!..
