Our little band has been busy over the summer months working on songs for a fall release.  This is perhaps one of the more spiritually-centered songs we have written and published.  How responsible are we for the evil that has come upon the world, for the resultant suffering it has brought. Peter's beautiful words begin with an act of redemption for mankind, but end with judgement not by God's choice, but man's will. 
The words did not come easily as Peter confesses that his pen "hovered above the last line for several minutes" not wanting to write it, but with a prophet's conviction, knew it must be written. The question is begged by those who will to believe, does the beauty of God's creation also involve justice and judgement, what Luther called "God's alien work"?  
Peter's verse has never been more poignant or Seagull's production more finely crafted. His track note also offers further insight into our thinking on the song and is well worth reading.

Web of Circles

…and place the host upon my tongue
as his grace, the bishop did, when I was young
to set life's path as angels sung
since when I've tracked an arcing line
my cracked heart marinades in altar wine
as webbed circles on repeat define
…
……the mirrored threads within my mind.

…and carbon copies as before
in mobius time reflect the score
while catastrophes gorge today once more
identikits forged on command from yesterday
nothing learned, just press replay
and watch heads in hands as the people pray
…
……for the pendulum to swing the other way

…and certain as the wheeling orbit's path
history founders on future’s aftermath
to sin once more as lucifer belly laughs
run aground we last forget that sacred host
‘neath chancel’s hell he resurrects what aches the most
humanity self-lashed to eternity’s whipping post
…
……by the Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Shyntwirl - Ashes Of The Phoenix On My Skin

Heart of Darkness

[Verse 1]
I walked too far, where the daylight ends
Shadows whisper secrets like long-lost friends
Every step heavier, sinking in deep
The truth I’ve been hiding won’t let me sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
No turning back, I can’t rewind
The fire’s behind me, the dark’s what I find

[Chorus]
In the heart of darkness, I feel the flame
Burning through the silence, calling my name
No light to guide me, but I can’t turn away
In the heart of darkness… I’ll learn to stay

[Verse 2]
Faces flicker in the smoke and haze
Every choice I made is a ghost that stays
But I keep moving, can’t lose the fight
’Cause even in the black, there’s a spark of light

[Bridge]
Whispers rise, the night won’t break
Every shadow has a price to take
But the deeper I fall, the clearer I see
The darkness was always inside of me

[Final Chorus]
In the heart of darkness, I feel the flame
Burning through the silence, calling my name
The night won’t own me, I’ll break away
In the heart of darkness… I find my way

[Outro - whispered / fading]
In the heart of darkness…
I find my wayHeart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness v. HauntFolk – based on the novel by Joseph Conrad, LA is the river.

And now for something completely different!

OKTOPIA Presents: About Humans

This one started life as a SBP track, 'Blitz'. Dan did his thing with it and created something brand new...

"you have to be careful around humans! they'll catch you and lock you in cramped, dirty water. then you'll be paraded and forced to eat dead fish. only once did one come back. she couldn't speak and had to be fed for a long time."

Original Track, Blitz: The Shire Bairn Project
Slicing, dicing and re-arranging: Dan C E Kresi
Produced by Dan C E Kresi

Thank you for listening.
An ambient instrumental piece with lingering guitar sounds and space woven into a quiet atmosphere.

Breath of Silence

I make music because it is where I let go of the have-to’s, and become part of something larger than myself. The language I speak on the keyboard when I improvise expresses a part of me that only comes out there at the moment of creation - when I’m fully connected and in the flow. In those moments when I disappear in the music, those are where I’m most fully alive. The musical question I pose to myself when I play is largely this: how can I release my inhibitions and let go of patterns sufficient to bring something entirely new, unexpected, and enlightening into the world, with structure, precision, clarity, and depth of expression. These pieces are meditations that are of me, but more precisely, they come through me. When I’m in the flow, I’m channeling the energy and only moderately directing it. The challenge is to be open to take risks while maintaining a structure, melody, and tempo that makes it interesting and satisfying enough to keep listening. I keep doing this nightly because it’s a language, because it’s a connection to something greater than myself, and because it’s very very relaxing.
