Upon hearing the sound, Jester jumps out of his box and hurries to the door to welcome her. The old man remains at the table spinning his coins, completely entranced by the spinning motion and oblivious to the girl in the doorway


Sylphesizer

One night during the production of "Tales of the Coin Spinner", we had a little jam on our Nord Lead and Virus TI which evolved into a very potent little tune. It was released as an after hours track and carried the title "Press Play on Tape":

Afterwards, we re-designed and re-worked the project in a different way, which finally resulted in the track "Blessed Day on Distorted Shape". It is included in the tracklist for the new album.

Blessed Day on Distorted Shape

As he starts spinning his coin again, a tear rolls down the girl’s cheek. “Could you please continue the story about the triplets?


Triplets

The coin spinner continues with another story. This time he pleasures us with a celestial story of moon people watching down to earth. Have a nice listen.

... Looking up through a hole in the roof her big, green eyes gaze up at the bright, blue moon. “Are the moon people still watching us?”


Moon People

 What are you looking for, old man?” His hypnotic stare breaks, and his eyes roll towards the girl. “The Truth,” he mumbles in a low voice. “Do you seek it too, little princess?” She shrugs.

The Truth

Deep in the heart of the forest, a lonely house rests hidden away from sight. Its neglected state might make it seem as though it were abandoned, but it is home to an old man and a jack-in-the-box. This toy, tattered by age, was once animated by magic, and is now a living companion to the man whom people call ‘the coin spinner.’

The Coin Spinner

To his right two books lay on the table and picks up one, blowing off the dust, revealing an elegantly engraved title: ‘the little match sister’ in gold lettering.

Little Match Sister

Every night, without fail, a girl wanders to the depths of the forest to visit. Tonight as she approaches the old house, its broken roof illuminated blue by the light of the full moon; she felt as she always did, as if it were from a dream. It seems so close but also so far. As always, the door was left unlocked for her, and as she slowly opens it, a loud creak breaks the silence.

"Captain," the Lieutenant announced. "We are getting a distress call. The Luna colony requests immediate assistance."

Captain Bastian rose silently from his command chair.

"It is a standard, repeating distress signal for a colony—" The lieutenant frowned and tapped at his console. "Captain, the level of urgency has just been raised. The signal now indicates the colony is under attack!"

Captain Bastian pursed his lips and leaned forward, with his eyes fixed on the starscape outside.

"Engage!," he ordered, purposely quoting a certain television hero from old times.

Uncharted Space

This was an unfinished piece we found in the archive dating back to early 2005.

It lay the foundation for what later became Easily Embarrassed - Little Trees and Fantasies on the "From Sunset Last Night To Sunrise This Morning" EP released in 2006

Little Trees And Psytrance (Easily Embarrassed Archive 2005-01-29)

Deep in the heart of the forest, a lonely house rests hidden away from sight. Its neglected state might make it seem as though it were abandoned, but it is home to an old man and a jack-in-the-box. This toy, tattered by age, was once animated by magic, and is now a living companion to the man whom people call “the coin spinner.”

Every night, without fail, a girl wanders to the depths of the forest to visit. Tonight as she approaches the old house, its broken roof illuminated blue by the light of the full moon; she felt as she always did, as if it were from a dream. It seems so close but also so far. As always, the door was left unlocked for her, and as she slowly opens it, a loud creak breaks the silence.

Upon hearing the sound, Jester jumps out of his box and hurries to the door to welcome her. The old man remains at the table spinning his coins, completely entranced by the spinning motion and oblivious to the girl in the doorway. She picks up the little jester toy and embraces it, while closing the door. Walking towards his cube, a barely audible lullaby escapes her lips. She lowers him gently down into the box and coaxes him to sleep with her soft voice. Then, she looks up at the old man and silently watches him as he spins his coins over and over.

Tonight, she suddenly asks him, “What are you looking for, old man?” His hypnotic stare breaks, and his eyes roll towards the girl. “The Truth,” he mumbles in a low voice. “Do you seek it too, little princess?” She shrugs. Looking up through a hole in the roof her big, green eyes gaze up at the bright, blue moon. “Are the moon people still watching us?” The man spins his coin again and waits for it to fall onto one of its sides. The jester, apparently still awake, calls “Heads,” and indeed it is as he said. The coin spinner smiles. “Sorry princess, no tales for you tonight!”

As he starts spinning his coin again, a tear rolls down the girl’s cheek. “Could you please continue the story about the triplets?” she asks with a jittery voice. He heaves a deep sigh and replies, “Oh… Alright.” To his right two books lay on the table and picks up one, blowing off the dust, revealing an elegantly engraved title: “the little match sister” in gold lettering.

He opens the book, and thus the story continues…
