Modest Ardor (Rabbit in the Moon)

[disquiet0578] Modest Ardor (Rabbit in the Moon)

“You said a moment ago that everybody you look at seems to be a rabbit,” says the doctor to his patient in a cartoon by James Thurber. “Now just what do you mean by that, Mrs. Sprague?” Meanwhile, Mrs. Sprague recoils in horror at the vision of her therapist’s enlarged, leporine head. 

There is a rabbit who lives in the underbrush just behind Suss Müsik headquarters. We’ve named her/him Clover. Clover has grown to be fairly large and tends to regard humans with more curiosity than fear. Still, Clover can still easily escape from predators when compelled. Perhaps Mrs. Sprague could take a leaf from Clover’s book.

The rabbit is viewed in Chinese tradition as a calm, gentle yet crafty animal, whose energy emphasizes balance and intelligence. The phrase jiǎo tù sān kū (狡兔三窟) loosely translates as “a cunning rabbit has three burrows and more than one means of escape." With the arrival of the Lunar New Year, this is the approach Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto.

The piece begins with a gentle piano arpeggio, broken into three fragments that randomly shift cadences like a tone poem. A fake fretless bass moves things along until a DIY synth glitches things up. Brief stabs of percussion interrupt the calm, gentle atmosphere, yet the overall feeling is one of balance and crafty intelligence (or whatever the Suss Müsik equivalent would be).

The piece is titled Jiǎo Tù Sān Kū. The image is based on an etching owned by The Welcome Collection, the use of which is covered under Public Domain Mark (PDM) terms and conditions: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0

The fib - disquiet0578

Across the endless desert, where the wind still carries the forgotten voices of ancient deities,
“Dunes of the Old Gods” awakens.

This track is a slow ritual —
dub bass rising like heat from the sand,
sub-frequencies trembling beneath the dunes,
and echoes shaped by the earliest myths of humanity.

Here, the old gods never died.
They sleep beneath the desert, waiting for sound to call them back.
Every beat, every pulse, is a whisper from that timeless world —
a blend of Sumerian rhythm, dust, memory, and divine silence.

Step into the dunes.
Let the ancient ones breathe again.

Dunes of the Old Gods

lyrics: 
take my head and blow my skull out
envy me, envy me, take me to the shore, dead.
dead
dead
i've been abused to death, now is time for you
time for you to perish, now, end.
end
end

cris sur dallas, j'suis dans le moule qui m'a formé
j'essaie de le briser, tu n'es pas celle qui doit juger car tu finiras jugée, pauvre âme
je suis trop forte pour toi, j'inverse les rôles et tu t'en rends même pas compte
marre de toi, à cause des merdes comme toi, des suicidaires s'explosent le crâne ou cherchent à buter des merdes comme toi
salope, t'as jugé ma dignité mais je ne suis que de passage, tu te laisses posséder par des monstres qui te sont sacrés (sacrés)
oh, oh-oh

cris sur dallas, j'suis avec mon gars sûr mais je vis avec une pute
j'ai été enfanté par un monstre et je crois que j'ai les clés du manège, attends juste qu'il s'arrête
j'suis en train de vriller, je veux juste briller, je n'en peux plus, tuez-moi
je veux juste me tuer, me laissez pas près d'une arme, je sauterai dans tous les cas
oh, ooh oh
oh, oh
