this is just downright nasty and dig that growling clavinet!

Beautiful track 😍 💐 🙏 🍀 🎶 🎧 

cool beat man, like it!. Cymbals from the hell

Those drums are ridiculously good!!!! Awesome work!!!!!

This track is a collaboration with SeaShea on.soundcloud.com/CnDF4
I thought this song would be suitable for the opening of the album. When I asked SeaShea for guitar, he not only contributed his usual electric guitar but also created some tracks with synthesizers. The song, initially incomplete, reached its completion through his efforts. Collaborating with him has been a fantastic experience.

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

The Professor

I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from the Pablo Neruda poem "Para Que Tú Me Oigas"" in the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair". Translated by W.S Merwin. Permission has been granted by Fundación Pablo Neruda.

Para Que Tú Me Oigas (Letras de Pablo Neruda)

Para que tú me oigas mis palabras
se adelgazan a veces
como las huellas de las gaviotas en las playas.
                                                                                                                                  Y las miro lejanas mis palabras.
Más que mías son tuyas.
Van trepando en mi viejo dolor como las yedras..                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                            Ahora quiero que digan lo que quiero decirte                                                                                              para que tú me oigas cómo quiero que me oigas. 

Llanto de viejas bocas, sangre de viejas súplicas.                                                                              Ámame compañera. No me abandones. Sígueme.                                                                           Sígueme, compañera, en esa ola de angustia. 

Pero se van tiñendo con tu amor mis palabras.                                                                                       Todo lo ocupas tú, todo lo ocupas. 

So that You will hear Me (Lyrics by Pablo Neruda)                                                                                          

So that you will hear me
my words
Sometimes grow thin
As the tracks of the gulls on the beaches. 
And I watch my words from a long way off.                                                                                           They are more yours than mine.                                                                         They climb on my old suffering like ivy. 
Now I want them to say what I want to say to you                                                                                      to make you hear as I want you to hear me.

Lament of old mouths, blood of old supplications.                                                                                             Love me, companion. Don’t forsake me. Follow me.                                                                                      Follow me, companion, on this wave of anguish. 

But my words become stained with your love.                                                                                                     You occupy everything, you occupy everything.
