Smoke And Mirrors

What can i be?

Inspired by the poem "The Peace of Wild Things" by the American poet Wendall Berry.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

The Peace of Wild Things

Hello everyone! It's been a while. I'm happy to share with you my latest project, The Shimmering.  The Shimmering is an album that is dedicated and serves as a tribute to the old-school RPG Ahriman's Prophecy, developed by Aveyond Studios (formerly Amaranth Games) and released on March 7, 2004. It's a game I rather enjoyed back in my childhood  years and I always wanted to compose some music inspired by it. In this album I'm I am returning to my foundational pursuits in the composition of ambient music. It contains shorter dreamy tracks with more emphasis on atmospheric ambience. Enjoy~

"In the hush of predawn, Talia stirred from her dreams. The first golden rays of the sun danced across the jagged mountain crests bathing the world in hues of gold. A radiant smile bloomed on her face for this was no ordinary morning. Today she would be named, the sacred rite of her mountain village where the young claimed their adulthood profession. But little did she know. The ancient trees murmured of a prophecy in the rustle of their leaves, and the wind whispered of trials yet to come.That fateful dawn, fate moved. In that irrevocable turning, Talia's destiny unfurled like a banner in the gale , sending her in an epic journey across Aia."

Fond is a journey into abyssal states of mind. A me(n)tallic exploration through liquid and flabbergasted lands. Curiosity, fear and fascination in colorful and unknown territories.

Carnevale Della Disillusione - by @sami-khatib
The postcoronial apocalypse is not the exception but the rule; it does not reveal anything. Its flashlights cannot illuminate the darkness of a present whose future is already past before it was born. For the future to which this present is indebted is not a real future. The future of current capitalism is already consumed, devalorized, darkened by a future past that will never arrive in the present. The future of this present is an illusion beyond illusion. “I can make light of myself and of others in that darkness: all the real is valueless, every value unreal! Whence that facility and that fatality of equivocations, where I don’t know if I am lying or if I am mad. Night’s necessity springs from that unhappy situation. The night could only proceed by way of a detour. The questioning of all things resulted from the exasperation of a desire, which could not come to bear on the void! The object of my desire was illusion first of all and could be the void of disillusion only in the second instance.” (G. B.) In this void of disillusion our night will fall.

Этот выпуск «ДВА ПОКЛОНА ДО МИСИМЫ» я посвящаю писателю, у которого, на мой взгляд, самый красивый японский язык. 

50 лет назад писатель Мисима Юкио совершил публичное самоубийство. А вы знали, что он был ещё и поэтом?

В новом выпуске я рассказываю свою личную историю знакомства с Мисимой, читаю его стихотворение по-японски и по-русски ( конечно же, в собственном переводе), а также иллюстрирую его хайку одним знаменитым русским вальсом. 

Хотите знать почему? :)
