In the Court of Daemon Sultan

Mi-go

Lovecraftian

Expendable

No relation to the Taylor Swift song.

Last year I fell in love with someone who'd been a good friend (or so I thought) up to that point. This turned out to be a mistake and ultimately a bitter experience. It's rare for me to write music "about" anything in particular, but this composition was written around the time that everything happened with this person and is very linked to the emotions I was going through at the time. 

Movement 1 was written when I was in the thick of feeling head over heels for this person, though even then there was some frantic agitation I was feeling (a sign of things to come). PSA, love shouldn't feel like that as it turns out?

If I Don't Be There In The Morning

It's that time again folks.

Here's our annual Christmas offering.

Music and performed by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

Intro

It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time

It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time

Fires burning brightly feels so warm and content
Cards along the mantelpiece which old friends have sent
Time for celebration, it's Christmas time

Santa Claus is coming; he’s well on his way
Rudolf and his friends pull along his sleigh
Time for celebration, it's Christmas time

Chorus

It’s Christmas time and all is well
Can you hear that Christmas bell
Ringing out as life goes on
Merry Christmas everyone

Break

And very soon I'm sure the snow will fall
And a snow-white Christmas will be had by all

Brightly coloured presents piled under the tree
Carol singers singing their sweet melodies
Time for celebration, it's Christmas time.

It's Christmas Time (Cooper/Donkin/Granthem Collaboration)

Chapter 256 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of consciousness and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Daemon Sultan

Call Off the Abyss

The Old Ones

The daemon said that he would take me home
To the pale, shadowy land I half recalled
As a high place of stair and terrace, walled
With marble balustrades that sky-winds comb,
While miles below a maze of dome on dome
And tower on tower beside a sea lies sprawled.
Once more, he told me, I would stand enthralled
On those old heights, and hear the far-off foam.

All this he promised, and through sunset’s gate
He swept me, past the lapping lakes of flame,
And red-gold thrones of gods without a name
Who shriek in fear at some impending fate.
Then a black gulf with sea-sounds in the night:
“Here was your home,” he mocked, “when you had sight!

-- H.P. Lovecraft / Fungi from Yuggoth


Three tracks inspired in part by the works of HPL and assorted real life misery. The title track is, as of this moment, my favorite thing I ever produced. Enjoy!
