LES AVENTURES DE PRESIDENT BONGO. Named and shaped in loving tribute to Tintin, the fabled Belgian journalist who defined what it meant to be an adventurer in the 20th century.

SAGA:
There is a transient photo kept by two whale hunters that have been left to oversee equipment and housing. At the world’s coldest nook they share a single memory of mercy and beauty. The portrait of Dolores Del Rios that reaches just below her thin shoulders. 

Printed on a label of canned fruits she never gets cold during hibernation at 73° North at Mosquito Bay. The almond shaped eyes and the high cheekbones of the goddess is the last memory from the world her custodians were never to see.    

The glacier made its demands, it received Dolores the goddess like it acquired everything else with its incessant presumptuousness. No one got to know of the passions and desires of the custodians of Dolares Del Rios; no one got to know of the childish envy of them who loved the portrait of the goddess and both wanted to keep it to themselves.

A3 From Thule To Rio

Dear all,

This is my little contribution to celebrate 25 years of Gus Gus music. Over the time the Gus Gus archive has been constantly growing. To pick and sort out songs has been a terrible job because so many beautiful tracks didn't make it in the mixtape. With the listeners aside I tried to go through 25 years of creative and always innovative Gus Gus music - album by album. One can hear the developing of new sounds since 1999 when Biggi started to play around with Doepfers synths.
It always has been a delicate pleasure to listen to Gus Gus music. It is a part of my life to listen to it, dream to it, dance to it, be creative with and through it and much more.
So all members of the past and in the future I thank you for this golden gift with the bottom of my heart!
X-tra large thanks to Biggi Veira - the Mastermind behind the keys.Stay the ride !

Dj Tilmann - GusGus 25 year anniversary mix

Technically this is a Protracker module but the whole music occupies only one out of four available sound channel voices and the size of total unpacked sample data is less than 25 KB. So it is greatly limited lo-fi experiment.

You walk through the storm. The sun rays hit; your golden teeth shimmer and spark. The demons have arisen, wearing a pink fluttering cape. Kitsch illustrations in hollow space. 

Take me to the boat before the fire in my stomach starts. On the other side of the fence, mist like a plank. That ancient arrogant swelling. Please take my coat. The day is done; lay me down to sleep. 

While the light dust particles work their way under the skin, the one-eyed, cylinder-shaped claw has caught fire. Pressure builds. My hopes and longings hit the haystack. A young voice destroys it all. A box of matches and an open mouth grinning. Laughter resounds, searching through my veins. The cause of the fire: horizon and illusion, seven years in prison, love of god, the wind and the scent. 

The serpent of my subconsciousness runs you to the ground. To be human is to tremble all the way to your chin. 

The flames have faded. My throat is furry and dry. My hat is on the shelf. My hiding place is found. Eggs fertilize. I am ready now.
