Name: The House Of Apparent Refuge by Cthonicist
Duration: 7 min 2 s
Description: “It is said that there is a border between our reality and those… other… realities which press upon it. And that there is a house there, a house of refuge for travellers in the Dark Ways, a place of respite from the impossible horrors which await. But the house itself is impossible, and the refuge it offers comes at a terrible price.” - The Seer

another brilliant track,  I think I know this place as 'Penthouse Purgatory ', or Waiting Room of Woes

Combining elements of Meccaniche del Sueno´s  contributions to the past two disquiet junto projects plus adding some music I created is how I made this track

Wilfried Hanrath - Mechanics of Dreams, with Meccaniche del Sueno (disquiet0699)

made in collaboration with https://soundcloud.com/ransomandthemood

the lyrics: ransom and I started out with random fragments of phonemes that solidfied into several iterations of lyrics. the version of the  lyrics sounded out here is composed by RANSOM AND THE MOOD and somewhat inspired by me.
the sounds: the basic song was created by RANSOM and I picked up on his cues and did my best to develop them further.
the image: photograph by jo richter, athens, museum of antiquities, 2012 (by the way, I still think the wrong head was merged with this torso for the antikithera exhibition ;-)


gold in her hair
flames in her hush
time folds the air
no need to rush

leaves in a dance
spinning through vows
braiding the trance
under green boughs

ode in her stride
Athena in shade
stars in her tide
the meanings cascade

clouds drift above
syntax in bloom
she hums of love
vapors consume

fossil minds stray
stone burned by chance
lost in the grey
too dazed to dance

she walks through frames
cracks in the scheme
whispers her name
half smile, half dream

no gods declare
they're humming her tone
and in the air
you're not alone

storm through the still
thoughts can be mold
she bends the will
with truth, silver, gold

athena

athena - with ransom and the mood

Harmony with past
Is the only way forward
But always a way

Future - Must - Harmonize - With - Past REC_0119_N
