Psytrance: Dark forest

DARK FOREST PROG

Played and recorded live at Forestocrats VI on 22-11-26.

"What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can't any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone's sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we'll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too."
-- Philip K. Dick, 'A Scanner Darkly'

A great thank-you to the Forestocrats for letting me as a guest-artist play at their party. I got to play the opening set of the evening, and I ended up conjuring up this eclectic mix of dark progressive and forest progressive sounds. Not the smoothest mix perhaps, but something to lift the spirits from early-evening swampscapes into more proper woodland sounds.

"If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as we now do by accident. Our words — our lives — our pains — nothing! The taking of our lives — lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler — all! That last moment belongs to us — that agony is our triumph."

-- Bartolomeo Vanzetti, an Italian US-immigrant anarchist controversially executed alongside his colleague Nicola Sacco on 1st-degree murder charges following an armed robbery in 1920

Not my technically most gallant set, with an outright botched swap from Oddrapod to The Greys near the beginning of the set, and a few other technical issues here and there. I was a bit out-of-focus during the early set, I guess. All the same, playing live comes with a certain degree of grit and uneven edges, and the rest of the set seemed to flow well enough. All in all, thanks to all the bright-eyed gnomes and elves who came out to party with us!

Re-played and recorded at home on 29.07.20.

R.I.P. Sir Ian Holm (02.09.1931 – 19.06.2020)

In venerating memory of Sir Ian Holm, let's all admire the purity of a single-minded hunter-killer xenomorph that he also admired in his role as Ash, the Weyland-Yutani android clandestinely stationed aboard the USCSS Nostromo. The darkness of space is a cold and uncaring embrace, and the fate of mankind amongst the stars is as of yet uncertain. However, we still need to venture, to sojourn, and to journey. Come with me on one of those sojourns, won't you?

If you go out hunting replicants, you may find that your search leads you through all manner of vivid and grim terrain. Bubbling swamps, disused warehouses, desolate villages under a permanent cloak of night... even to the depths of the ocean and into low Earth orbit - "outer space" itself. And be careful when you do go on the hunt, because in the end you might just find what you're looking for... which may not necessarily be a replicant.

Within Cells Interlinked (133-137 BPM)

Chrysamorph |'krɪ sə mɔrf| (figuratively "shape-of-gold") represents change through loss, and learning to deal with that loss - the painful death-and-rebirth of becoming something less before becoming something more. Gold needs to be worked in order for it to reach its final shape, similar to a caterpillar disintegrating in its chrysalis before becoming what it was meant to be. No creation without destruction. Kill your darlings. Learn to live with your mistakes, and embrace those mistakes. You will never escape them, and trying to ignore them only makes them more massive. There will come a time when death is the only new adventure you'll ever have waiting for you. Get used to the darkness before then, won't you?

Expect robust, coffee-like dark progressive psytrance in almost all of its varieties (from lazy swamp through jazzy zenonesque to cold dark prog, and beyond), frequent lapses into warbling forest prog, and on occasion even some haunted dark forest to herald the great vastness of the interstellar gulf.

Chrysamorph is part of WillaZukka Family.

Warning: may contain techno music, and nuts.
