Lyrics: Goethe

Lynceus, The Warder (Faust II, Goethe)

For seeing i’m born, for watching employed
To the tower i’m sworn, while the world i enjoy
I gaze at the far, i stare at the near
To the moon and the stars, the forest and deer

The eternally lovely adorement i view
And as it delights me, i delight myself too
You fortunate eyes, all you’ve seen there
Let it be as it may, yet it was so fair

I’m not positioned here on high
Just for my own enjoyment
What horror meant to terrify
Threatens from the firmament
I see sparks of fire gushing through
The lindens double night
Fanned by the wind’s rushing
Ever stronger goes the light

Ah! Within the hut is burning
Damp and mossy though it stands
Swift help, inthis direction turning
Is needed, yet no aid’s to hand
Ah! The pious old couple
so carefull ever of the fire
Made a prey to smoke to stifle
On this dreadful pyre

The flame burns on, glowing red
It’s now a black mossy pile
If only those good folks were rescued
From those fires of hell run wild

A bright flung of lightning heaps
Through the branches, through the leaves
Breaking, snapping, catching swiftly
With the branches flickered glow
Why have i such powers to see?
Why are mine the eyes to know?

The little chapel now collapses
With the falling branches weight
Already with bright, snakelike flashes
The treetops gripped meet their fate
Glowing crimson to the hollow roots
The trunks now burn with ease

What used to please my eyes below
Has vanished with the centuries…

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1832

The lyrebird sings [naviarhaiku408]

This track is a remote collaboration Between Paul Banham and MIZERO,Its been a amazing experience to work with such a fantastic artist who creates poetry that sits deep in the psych. She has inspired me to go darker and deeper with my sound. I wanted to capture some of the ambience and drama of  Dario Argento's 1977 Italian horror classic 'Suspiria. soundtrack by the goblins and drag it into the 2020s...Watch this space and Mizeros for future releases....

The van broke down
just 5 miles from O'Hare
Not sure what we were doing
Had no tickets anyway
As the sun set in the West
We walked East
Planes roaring overhead

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

Not quite a decision
That either of us made
But a moment of clarity
And what it meant to stay
It never matters
Which road we take
As long as right beside me
I have Karla with a K

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

The excitement and the newness
As we move from town to town
As we worked to settle down
Turned piece by little piece
into what we'd sworn not to become
we lived the lives we ran from

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

The Vanishing Horizon

Thank you for visiting this truck
Many shopping is fun in the season that people are full. 
You can settle it if you have a card. 
But it is also good to pay with money.

Il Neige Sur Assise.        Texte :Sanzen

Boule de neige au salon, mon enfance sur un vieux guéridon
Sous la cloche en trois dimensions , Assise , mes émotions
Solitaire sans raison , encombré de ce corps bien trop grand
j’envahis tout l’espace restant  qui est fait d’un seul et même plan.

Et pendant ce temps tu défies placide la  gravitation .  
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , tu traverses tel un géant  les saisons
grâce à ton  humour ,à ton amour, ta superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  ,  quelques flocons dans ton salon.   

je me construis un univers fait  d’huiles et de pastels dorés
ma toile est comme la vie trop souvent déséquilibrée  
je me sers un peu moins de ma tête que de mon coeur , de mes grands pieds.
peindre c’est pas toujours la fête , le gout une valeur trop partagée .
 
Et pendant ce temps tu défies placide la gravitation .  
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , tu traverses tel un géant les saisons 
grâce à ton  humour ,à ton amour, ta superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  quelques flocons dans ton salon. 

 
Unijambiste dans….ma tête ,je suis en lévitation 
je mets du rouge dans  mon salon, sous cloche mon horizon
du doré sur ma toile une  vie captive sous les flocons...
quelques facéties  , mon enfance sur le vieux guéridon

Et pendant ce temps on défie tous la gravitation 
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , on traverse comme on peut  chaque saison
grâce à de l’ humour ,à de l’amour, une superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  ,si ça se trouve , à quelqu’un comme Francois Anton.

Il Neige Sur Assise    Sanzen / Illos

ЛАБИРИНТ

Выглядывая из своего лабиринта
инкогнито-анонимно,
снимаю слепки,
коллекционирую гипсовые статуэтки.
Увлекаюсь Тибетом - 
отстраненно:
нет денег на билеты.

Билеты проданы абсолютно.
Заняты все места
в кинотеатрах
лабиринтов.
Мир тонет в рукоплесканиях
пассажиров,
увидевших краем глаза небо
в окне иллюминатора.

К чему такие траты?
Почем билеты?

Долой сомнения!

...И в лабиринте гаснет свет:
выходим на экран.

LABYRINTH

Looking out from own labyrinth
incognito-anonymously,
take off casts
collect plaster figurines.
Fond of Tibet -
detachedly:
no money for tickets.

Tickets sold out absolutely.
All places are occupied
in cinemas
of labyrinths.
The world is drowning in applause
of passengers, 
which saw the edge of the sky
in the window of the porthole.

Why such an expenses?
How much are the tickets?

Away of doubt!

...And in the labyrinth the lights go out:
we exit to the screen.

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
