"Bittermouth II" has two 'sister' recordings that preceded it, "Bittermouth I" [ https://soundcloud.com/michael-ash-sharbaugh/bittermouth-disquiet0520-on-the-clock-sm7 ],
and "Bittermouth II" [ https://soundcloud.com/michael-ash-sharbaugh/bittermouth-ii ]-- both instrumentals; this one, "Bittermouth III," features Calebass singing My following lyrics:

-+-

with bittermouth
I take You in

arrested in thought
adorned in sin

betrothed am I
to another's hand
yet succumb so swiftly
to this Siren's strand

where can My Savior
anchor His feet?
where might He gild His lungs
with an air so sweet?

nowhere close
is what I fear
once chance taken
the cost so dear

with bittermouth
i take You in
detesting this thought
the sinister sin

of My Lover's entropy

"I, for years, had wanted to collaborate with this fine, unique artist, Calebass; this is the fruit of that labour.

Thank You, Mikael!

"

~ Michael

that track will be part of an installation, where the music will sound inside an old well. it will take place at "Atelier Waldgarten", a wonderful old horse stable changed to an art room, sourounded by a magic garden with huge old trees and this mystrious well.

Missequencing of a Dream

Ich erschaffe Klangwelten, Sehr dunkele Klangwelten Gedankenwelten so wie Ambient Welten. Habe mir alles selber beigebracht. Notenlesen Hab ich nie Gelernt. Lebe in meiner Gedankenwelt. Meine Klangwelt erstelle ich nur nach Gehör. Es Freud mich wenn ihr meine Klangwelt Hört.
