Renowned for pushing boundaries, TWAN unveils a new groundbreaking creation titled "Carry On." This single emerges from the artist's vibrant Brixton-based studio as the result of bold experimentation, bringing to life a powerful sonic experience that juxtaposes emotional melodies with an angry bass and cutting-edge beat.

The lyrics take listeners on a journey through the complexities of carrying on despite adversity. "At its core, 'Carry On' is a testament to the indomitable human spirit," TWAN shared, emphasising the overarching theme of the track. "Life presents us with challenges and adversity, yet we discover the strength within to persevere. This song explores that resilience."

With a fervour to challenge the norms of electronic dance music, TWAN infuses emotional depths into a tapestry of sound, weaving together melodies that tug at the heartstrings with a bass that carries a surge of intensity. The resulting composition captivates audiences, evoking emotions that range from introspection to empowered energy. A harmonious marriage of emotion and innovation that firmly establishes TWAN as a trailblazer in the electronic dance music landscape.

The Book of Frost

At the beginning of the German Synthi-era there was Ashra/Manuel Göttsching, combining synthi and guitars on some great pioneering albums. Thought I'd try something in such style. So, here it is. Played the usual suspects. Added  a couple of takes on my Fender. Sic itur ad astra (which I'd want to translate as "such is our way to the stars"), thank you P. Vergilius Maro. Peace to all in 2024, the Shaman.

Lyrics:

I once used to hear that the Underworld 
Was a flaming Hell down below the Earth,
Where sinners were roasted on spits,
And where Satan held court as Lucifer 
Over boiling, putrifying pits.
We were frightened when young by this grim tale.
But it isn’t at all like that. I assure you, I know...
Lucifer is the light bringer, the morning star 
The Underworld is a place where all life grows
And it isn’t even very far...

This dimension of the Multiverse
This Underworld

It is Dreamtime to the aborigines,
A night black land of fertile potential,
Where star seeds of new possibilities
Sprout in the dark from the quintessential
Before birthing into form. 
It’s where Coleridge found Kubla Khan’s 
Stately pleasure dome was decreed. 
And where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Straight down to a sunless sea,
Through caverns measureless to man...

In this dimension of the Multiverse
This Underworld

It is here that the enlightened artist goes
To these dark, echoing caverns,
To mine, like the dwarves of Erebor,
Boons already dreamt into being,
Buried in a golden seam of ore. 
They ferry their treasures along the Alph, 
And then finally out into this bright world of day,
Their cargo unloads itself by crystal telegraph
If they’ve been careful not to spill a single
Drop along the way...

From this dimension of the Multiverse
This Underworld

They smelt the ore with the heat of their passion 
Into masterpieces of paintings, poetry and song,
They are humbled with gratitude as they fashion
These healing gifts from another realm,
A place that can cause no wrong. 

So this is the real Underworld, I hope you can see 
The source of all great art born from natural alchemy.

Underworld

Pretend Baby

Before a shamanic ceremony, it is the usual practice to make a prayer to the spirits of the four directions. This is my own version, delightfully musically illustrated by API_ZZ.

Lyrics:
I bow to the four directions. 

To the East. The red dawn air 
Sighing over the China seas, 
Blow the nomad trade winds 
Along your Silk Road, 
Your Bay of Bengal
And swirling pyres of Varanasi, 
Through the temples of Tibet 
And the spiced Vedic lees. 
Bring Vayu's sweet sylphs 
To inspire our creativity. 

To the West. The deep Atlantic 
Heaves and tosses the merrows,
Your swirling whirlpools 
And drowned, forgotten reefs
Of mermaids and mer-men 
On high waves and farrows. 
Bring up from Lir's feet 
That purest of aqua cold. 
Sail it fast over the Irish sea 
And across the Menai roll 
To wash away our pain and fear 
And heal our troubled souls. 

To the North. Soil of our minds,
Your caves of quartz and tourmaline
And your blue melting glaciers 
Birthing borates from ice 
Under the Borealis, the stars 
Circling like glittering brides. 
Roll your satyrs and sylvestres 
Through the bleak Calanish stones 
Over the rivers, brooks and glens, 
To the oolite gold of Avalon  
It's Thirteen Treasures and gems. 

To the South. Cast your castanets 
Your smouldering salamanders, 
Your fierce Romany cantinas
Your red lipped, red hipped skies 
And your sultry, dusky sun-downers. 
When the frangipani and mimosa 
Whispers with exotic aroma 
And the heart promises ‘Soon’, 
Give us the southern comfort, 
The tango and the wild fandango 
To spark our dancing shoes.
