Octo Friends #35 - Najesh&Artišoko

On that windy morning in mid-winter, Hekske (the little witch) woke up when Falke (the 9 year old witch apprentice) had once again crept under her moss blanket to keep warm and dry.  The weather was exceptionally warm for a day in January, but soon afterwards torrential rain started to lash down on the forest, making the girls decide to snuggle a bit deeper under their moss blanket.  Despite the horrendous weather, the witches were in an excellent mood as it was the first day of the new year, which meant that they would light their annual bonfire and exchange stories with the forest animals.
After getting up, the girls drank a warm mug of herbal tea before scrambling for shelter behind a huge beech tree for yet another rainstorm, which was so violent that the thunder was rumbling several times (which is a very rare event in January).  This surely meant that there was an unusual amount of energy in the air, and the witches were wondering what was going to happen during the new year bonfire.
Luckily, soon afterwards the rain abated and a few hours later, the little witch saw that it was dry enough and asked a squirrel family to go and collect firewood.  A few minutes later, a pile of firewood was lying at the feet of the witches, and the girls were already busy evacuating all little creatures from the heap, with some help from Harald The Spider.  The little witch was looking forward to light the fire, as she had learned a few new magic tricks from the Eldnorns, the reclusive tribe of Icelandic fire witches which she had visited last month.
Suddenly they heard some excited yells in the distance.  The witches hurried towards the remote area of the forest where the screams were coming from, and they soon found out it was Zhanna The Squirrel who had discovered something really sensational : a big egg.  The little witch was completely mesmerized by this mysterious egg, which was sparkling in all colors of the rainbow.  This could only be a dragon’s egg!!  This was a sensational discovery indeed, as dragons had gone extinct in this part of Europe since the Middle Ages.  But now that the witches had chased away the humans from this forest, it had once again become a safe haven for all animals and plants, and the dragons must have sensed that too.  Yet, it was a complete mystery how this dragon egg had ended up here in this forest.
Following her deeper instinct, the little witch decided to take the egg in her hands.  After the first touch, the egg immediately started to glow and they could even see a pink pulsing light deep inside the egg.  The girl decided to take the egg near the bonfire, where a family of dunnocks was already weaving a safe nest for the dragon egg.  Dragon eggs can only hatch if they are being kept at the correct temperature.  Hekske and Falke cuddled the egg for a long time and made the solemn pledge to protect this dragon egg at all cost.  This was surely going to become an epic new year …

Welcome to this sonar odyssey into Malü & Kalypsoul’s planet of sound!

Enchanting us with a spell the music tickles into our cells and seduces our soul into their melody.
A soft beat hypnotises our feet.
From calm to wave we move in a dance.
Silky notes Bewitch our ears and slowly the sounds bring us into a Valley of Dreams, landscapes full of luscious flowers and glowing trees.

We are in the Beyond, a place to fly, to dance, to dream and to be.
A place to share our devotion into one symphony.
A Catharsis of emotion enraptured by a mellow taste, a golden chrysalis ready to bloom.
It is mere musical poetry.

This beautiful mix was played live and recorded at “Dawn of the Cat” by @talderverwirrung at Acidbogen, @kater_blau.

Thank you Magicians for this journey!

Lovecast 106 - MADmoiselle

The chameleoncast is back with a winter edition loooking back on a more than sweet summer. 

Frysch’s composition lays its focal point straight on emotions. There is a certain unobtrusive quality that encapsulates the course of feelings, we have no words for. Melancholy meets a a tranquil directionality towards positivity and life as such.

🎵 Mikal Aton [ at ] Beate Barfuss [ Live - Special ] 🎵

Recording date: 02.04.2023
 Venue: Beate Uwe / Berlin
Event: Beate Barfuss

+++ Interview +++

✔️ What are your musical Influences?

From my roots there was a lot Rock, Funk, Reggae, Fusion Jazz and World Music..I was a huge fan of Frank Zappa, Can and The Doors.
Later i fanced Punk Rock, AfroBeat, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass.
When it came to electronic Music I liked tripped out stuff like Future Sound of London and Simon Posford and I still love the instrumental Trip Hop of the 90s.
I collected fine vinyls for a long time and started dj-ing from a wide spectrum of different genres.
Later I fell in love with Organic Deep House and Downtempo and they became for me a kind of home base.
I like also to play straighter dance music with Techno styles, Nu Disco and Afro & Progressive House.
Sometimes I feel I develop in too many different genres, but I can’t help it.

✔️ What makes a good Afterhour?

For me its about a certain feeling, a feeling of unity with the people around. Having partied and danced through nights and maybe days, gone through stories of ups and downs, released some energy and feeling a bit tired and relaxed but smiling. At its best arriving in a kind of flow state from which it’s easy to connect. For the music there are many possibilities, depend if the mood is more chill or there is energy to dance. Perfect time for old pearls and great edits.

✔️ Thoughts about the Set and Club:

The Barfuß Sunday at Beate Uwe starts at 18h and you are dancing with your feet on soft carpets to downtempo music. It definitely offers a cozy Afterhour feeling, with people very motivated to dance and many of them fresh and not wasted from the weekend. I really love to play here and I started midnight after Sahra Bass who shaked and bounced it already. I played a very danceable set with good bass pressure, keeping it compact but divers to explore different moods with excursions into psychedelic soundscapes and some smockin´guitar riffs. For the Dj the Rane Mixer is a kind of challenge: No filters, no effects, no faders, just 3 EQ knobs to do the mixing. I understand why many Djs use their own controllers there. It took me some time to get trust in the Rane because it feels a bit like mixing naked but the sound is crisp, clear and powerful.

Thx so much for this recording.

Mikal Aton [ at ] Beate Barfuss [ Live - Special ]

On a sunny day in February, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) were flying over the green mountains of Sri Lanka. The witches had been sent by Lalita, the tree nymph and It was the first time the girls saw this stunning island. And the rolling hills were as beautiful as Lalita had described them. As the girls climbed higher and higher through the valley, the landscape gradually changed as the hills were now covered by bright green bushes. When they saw a girl in a long white dress waving at them, the witches decided to go and greet her. They gently touched down in the middle of the greenery, where they received a warm welcome hug by a teenage girl with a golden skin and sparkling black eyes. She introduced herself as Yohani, and showed the way to her little cottage in the middle of the tea plantation, where she prepared some delicious tea with fresh leaves from the estate. It was the first time Hekske and Falke drank tea, and it was the most exquisite beverage they had ever tasted. 
This place was a true garden of Eden, full with colorful flowers like hibiscus and bougainvillea, while the air was filled with the strong scent of spices like cinnamon and cardamom. And there were bird sounds everywhere, with babblers, bulbuls and drongos singing their most beautiful songs on this beautiful day.
In the late afternoon, Hekske and Falke noticed a flutter of crimson rose butterflies which were all flying in one particular direction. Yohani explained that these butterflies were doing their annual migration to Sri Pada, the sacred mountain. The girls decided to follow the butterflies and hours later they arrived at the foot of the towering mountain, which is also named ‘Samanala Kanda’ (or ‘mountain of the butterflies’). Yohani showed them the way to a pristine waterfall. According to the tradition, a ritual bath must be taken before ascending the mountain. This was easily the purest water they had ever felt on their skin and they took a long time before completing their natural bath. Then they were ready for the climb. In the moon-lit night sky they could see the towering silhouette 1800 meters above them. The path was very narrow, with steps being carved out in the rock. Yohani explained that there are 5500 steps to climb. Luckily there were many fire flies illuminating the steep path. The girls climbed for hours and hours, until they had reached the clouds where the air became very cold and damp. Meanwhile, the path had become narrower and steeper, while they climbed above the clouds. It was almost dawn, and the girls reached the summit when the very first ray of sunlight kissed the top of the mountain. There was a small temple with a mysterious footprint on the ground. It was clear that this was no ordinary footprint. It felt as if a man had come from the heavens and this was the place where he had set foot on planet earth for the first time. Yohani explained that this mountain is also named Adam’s Peak, as some people believe that Adam touched down from heaven on this mountain top. But other people think the footprint is from the Buddha or from Shiva.
Just at that moment Falke looked towards the west where a magical spectacle unfolded… the pyramid-shaped shadow of the mountain became visible on the clouds. It was a moment of pure awe, which was only interrupted when Yohani rang the big ceremonial bell. She explained that this bell needs to be rung by everybody who completes the pilgrimage to this sacred mountain, but there’s a catch : the pilgrimage can only be considered complete after returning home safely, so one is only allowed to ring this bell from the second ascent onwards. At that moment, Hekske and Falke promised to Yohani that they would come back for a new pilgrimage next year … and ring the bell of Sri Pada …

Witchtape #164 | Guest Wizz : Madeesha Pathirage

It was February and nature was slowly awakening for the spring. Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) were making their daily inspection round of the forest, when a beech tree drew their attention. It was one of these trees which was being embraced by an ivy creeper. Hekske and Falke tuned in to the trees, which – as always - was a long process and it took over 2,5 hours. Then they got the message. So far, both the beech tree and the ivy enjoyed their close cohabitation, but now the tree was complaining that he was getting kinda suffocated by the creeper. After taking the request, Hekske asked permission from the ivy tree to do some emergency pruning. The creeper was very sorry for the discomfort and agreed to get pruned in order to help her friend. Falke ran to the central clearing and returned with a cheeky grin and with the pruning shears which a ranger had left behind a couple of years ago (actually, the very last ranger who had tried to enter the witch’s forest). The girls chuckled when they remembered how much fun it had been to chase the hapless ranger out of their forest. 
Hekske took the pruning scissors and cautiously started to cut into the beautiful ivy tree. She smiled when she found an empty nest with a perfect shape. This was clearly the nest of the dunnocks who managed to raise 3 chicks last summer. Then the little witch pruned the creeper close to the ground … where she saw something unusual, which she had never noticed before. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized it was a stone statue. At first it wasn’t clear how this statue looked like, but gradually – after chipping away some more leaves - it became clear that it was a statue of an angel … and strangely it appeared to be glowing softly. The witches had never seen such a thing and got very curious. Falke lovingly caressed the stone statue, and to her surprise it didn’t feel cold at all. On the contrary, it was very pleasant to touch. It felt like a living thing and after a few more caresses the statue started to emit a pulsating light, just like a heartbeat. Hekske and Falke watched this bewildering spectacle with great eyes, and were curious to find out what would happen next …

Witchtape #165 | Guest Witch : Hedera

Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) finally arrived in Iceland, after a long, windy and icy flight over the North Atlantic Ocean. After touching down near the coast, the witches got a warm welcome by 3 Eldnorns (Icelandic fire witches) who had been waiting for them in the desolate landscape of solidified lava. Hekske and Falke were soaked to the bone and shivering from the cold, so they were absolutely overjoyed when the Eldnorns showed them the way to a hot spring. They all slipped out of their frozen dresses and waded into the hot water. Hekske immediately felt her frozen feet warm up, followed by her undercooled lower legs, then her thighs before dipping her whole body into the hot water. The heat came from all directions and gradually penetrated into the deepest parts of her body and soul. She opened her eyes, and saw that Falke had closed her eyes and had a blissful smile on her face. They stayed in the water for a really long time, until the eldest Eldnorn called them out of the water.
After drying their bodies and long hair, the Icelandic witch gave Hekske & Falke two Eldnorn dresses, which were white and long and with the typically fiery orange patterns at the bottom. Putting on an Eldnorn dress is always a very special ritual and the Flemish witches suddenly felt an unknown yet very pleasant force penetrate her body after donning this dress. 
After this ceremony, the girls took off and followed the Eldnorns in Northeastern direction, where they saw a column of thick black smoke in the distance. After coming closer, they realized there was a large fissure in the earth and lava was spewing out of the deepest depths over the full length of the crack. The girls looked in awe at this fiery spectacle, before the Icelandic witches flew away towards a little lake, where they gently touched down.
In a matter of seconds, the witches were surrounded by a thunder of dragons. Hekske and Falke looked in awe at these beautiful yet fearsome creatures. The Eldnorn witches explained that this used to be the group of Sigríður, the dragon tamer who sadly passed away a couple of years ago, after being a dragon master since the days of Snorri Sturluson, some 800 years ago. Since that day, the dragons had become a bit listless as they missed their mistress. But today, the dragons were in an ebullient mood, especially when Falke started to talk to them in a language which was completely unknown. The dragons looked at the little witch with sparkling eyes, and soon they sat in a circle around Falke, who calmly patted and caressed each and every dragon while whispering sweet words into their ears.
The Eldnorns were dumbfounded when looking at this spectacle. Since the passing of Sigríður, the dragons had never been in such a frisky mood. Apparently, they had found a new mistress. One of the Eldnorns flew away and came back a few minutes later with a black leather dress. She handed it over to Falke while explaining that this was Sigríður’s attire. Falke put on the dress, and to everybody’s amazement, it was a perfect fit (which is quite amazing giving the fact that Sigríður was really tall, while Falke is still pretty tiny). After she put on this dress, the dragons became even more lively and they all hugged and kissed Falke, trying their best not to scorch her by accident. The dragons were so enthusiastic that one of them took Falke on her back before taking off for a fun flight over the nearby volcanoes and glaciers. 
Finally the new dragon tamer had come …

Witchtape #166 | Guest Wizz : We Are Eternal

After staying for over a week in the ancestral village of Ishola (Hekske’s lover) on the misty slopes of the Ruwenzori Mountains, the witches kissed goodbye to their friendly hosts and continued their flight southwards, following their inner compass. Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) flew over a wide variety of breathtaking landscapes, like the Okavango delta and the thundering Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya). 
While following the Limpopo River, they saw a breathtaking sunset unfold in the west… it was high time to land and find a safe place to spend the night. The witches saw no humans which meant the place was safe. They landed at the foot of a majestic tree, but didn’t have much time to savor the glorious sunset, as a few hungry lions were stealthily approaching them, observing the witches in their long white dresses from close quarter, preparing for a decisive lethal strike. But while looking at the witches, a feeling of tenderness took hold of the lionesses. Instead of attacking, they walked slowly into the direction of the girls, who started to talk with a soft voice to the queens of the jungle. This drew the attention of even more lions and soon they were all lying at the feet of the witches, and Falke played and frolicked with a bunch of lion cubs - who especially loved to play with the girl’s long blond hair (the hair of a young witch is of an indescribable softness). The leader of the pride welcomed the young witches and ordered the other animals to prepare a soft bed of grass for the exhausted girls. And soon the Flemish witches drifted into a blissful sleep in the middle of a circle of lions, whom had never ever experienced a similarly peaceful presence in the plains. 
After a deep, blissful sleep, the witches woke up just before sunrise. Falke quickly realized that the little fluffy thing she was holding tenderly in her arms, was actually a lion cub and when looking around, she saw a lioness watching the two of them with endearment … clearly the cub’s mom. Slowly it dawned to the girl that she had been sleeping in the middle of a circle of lions … easily the best possible protection in the African plains. Despite being far away from her home forest in North-Western Europe, the little witches felt absolutely at ease. They looked around and saw all these wonderful animals roaming on the plains : zebras, antelopes, giraffes and even a herd of elephants in the distance.
A bateleur eagle had spotted the witches and touched down in front of their feet. The girls understood that the bird wanted to take them somewhere and they kissed goodbye to their friends of the lion pride. The eagle flew straight to a nearby forest, and touched down in a clearing where a group of women were waiting for them. These were local witches, but they looked very different from European witches. They were all wearing colorful long clothes. The witches themselves had all kinds of skin colors, ranging from black, brown to white. When Falke said something in Flemish to Hekske, the local witches smiled and started to talk to them in the local Afrikaans language. Hekske and Falke couldn’t believe their ears … this language sounded just like Flemish, but with a more expressive intonation and some funny expressions. They never expected that witches from this part of the world would speak the same language as them. After the welcome hug, the African witches gave an energetic welcome dance, which they would soon teach to their European guests. This place had such a beautiful energy …

Witchtape #167 | Guest Wizz : LEEP

For the fourth time in two years time, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) flew eastwards, all the way to the mighty Dnipro river. It was early April and the temperatures were very mild and pleasant. Then they saw their friend Mriya (Мрія) waving at them in the middle of a flowery meadow. Mriya was 14 years old now, and she had grown a lot since their last visit. To Hekske and Falke’s surprise, Mriya greeted them with 3 kisses on the cheek, and wished them a happy Easter. She proudly showed them her easter basket, which was made from willow branches and covered with a white towel, which was beautifully embroidered in yellow and blue patterns. Mriya explained that this towel was made by her great-grandmother over 100 years ago. She explained that she was expecting visitors from all over Ukraine. Soon afterwards, another witch arrived and they all welcomed her with 3 kisses on her cheek. Her name was Vesna and she came from the woods around Mount Hoverla in the west. She had brought some small bottles with colorful dyes : violet from the bark of an elderberry bush, yellow from the flowers of the woadwaxen, gold from onion skins, etc..
Soon afterwards, another witch arrived from the east. She had flown all the way from the scenic valley of the Oskil river.  A little later, another witch flew in from the north but after that it was a long wait for the witch of the South. Finally, a young witch flew by and gently landed on the fairy meadow. She had come all the way from the Valley of Ghosts. And she was not alone as she was accompanied by a sweet-looking animal. The witches were elated when they realized this was the raccoon which was stolen from this area some 1,5 years ago. The lively animal was very happy to be back home again, and soon the raccoon was frolicking with all the witches, and rolling over from joy.
Now that all witches had arrived, Mriya put some eggs on the table while Vesna opened the bottles with the colorful dyes. The local witches knew exactly what to do, applying hot wax on the eggs before scrathing and dying them in elaborate colorful patterns. Many of these patterns had been passed on from witch to witch for centuries. These decorated eggs were called ‘pysanky’.
Vidma, the witch from the northern plains had another method to decorate the eggs, which she did by coating eggs with bee wax and covering them with beads in vivid colorful patterns. This kind of easter eggs were called ‘biserky’.
Hekske and Falke truly enjoyed the typically Slavic cosy atmosphere of the Easter celebrations. And after nightfall, they lit a bonfire, sang spellbinding age-old witch’s songs and they performed folk dances around the fire until well past midnight. 
This was easily the cosiest Easter Hekske and Falke had ever experienced…

Witches are the guardians of the forests.  We're not evil or dark, just a bit shy.  And even surprisingly sweet and kind... as long as you respect the forest.
