Ondine (wormwood)

"Born from the fires of frustration, a simple offering and celebration to the Daimonic and Adverse spirit in us, a primitive worship of the only God that humanity never were able to Kill. This is Ritual DEATH."

Demo to be released on 7"EP early 2016. 

RITUAL DEATH - Goat Altar Sacrifice

I sometimes have the comment that the title is extremely bleak and pessimistic or psychopathic even. I assume some interpret to say 'love doesn't exist'.
Can give a description, bearing in mind i wrote the song and title when i was 15:
-i was into stuff like the 'mood machine' in phillip k dick, eternal sunshine of a spotless mind, and some rudimentary interpretation of Jean Baudrillard: simulation and hyperreality....possibly seeping through some Brave New World and Situationism i may read after the fact.
-its anti capitalist/situationist, but really its a science fiction thought experiment. Some say it would be fine if corporations simply considered love for their fellow human. That ends in a dystopia, a simulation, a point where you just buy experiences you've missed...why? because they are still corporations, love must be self-determined and real. Corporations advertising their positive ethics selectively is manipulation. Corporations commodifying positive experiences, under our acceptance that it might be 'enriching' is totalitarianism, Love as difference, a measure of intensity, is narcissistic desire and solipsism only.

LOVE IS A COMPANY OBJECTIVE

4 - Canto

A remix of sorts. There are so many instruments in this track, that i always had to arrangement ideas of drone rock vs. folk merging together that they sort of overshadow these intruments on the album version- really its like two separate arrangements!. This is a mix i made last august with basically little to no processing. It might be the only clarinet solo i ever play.
