How we recall, 
how Emotions imprint in us, 
the sound of mother Nature, 
the big City, 
our Loneliness, 
our struggles, 
the Voice that soothe our pain, 
the Voice that fuels our Dreams, 
to conquer the Past and reach 
for the Summit, 
Our best. 
to Sail, 
with Hope, 
into the Unknown. 


Figments is an introspective journey depicted through ethereal soundscapes: personal experiences that define us yet result from intimate contemplation that little has to do with objective experience. 

In concert, mind and surroundings create a new world, where the boundaries between reality and abstraction seem feeble, non-existent. Field recordings make way for subtle ambient layers: a metaphor of the world being absorbed and reinterpreted by our consciousness. What’s left is a path made of memory, experience, feelings that become the compass that guides us through the intricacies of life. 

Like waves, perpetual melodies break through the veil of reality and force us to look within, question ourselves and what defines us. 

Figments is a celebration of the inner voice, the one that can shape reality so that we can live within its boundaries while being truly, unquestionably ourselves. 

About the artist: 

A "homegrown" of Naviar's community, Constantin Blu, aka DesuExSounds, started producing ambient and soundscapes by picking up the Naviar's Haiku challenge almost four years ago to explore and develop creativity through music as a tool for self-knowledge and interaction. Previously just a passion, Constantin has co-authored musical projects for dance and theatre in the Bucharest scene with friends who have a special home town in common: Onesti. "Figments" is the first ambient solo album that coagulates this journey, reflects the personal bond, and draws inspiration from Naviar's artistic ethos.

Weasel Words

Wanted - DEMO REMIX

hopes and dreams won't keep me warm
I want to see your truest form

Your truest form

"One cannot run from the rising sun only chase it as it sets"

That lyric by John is worth the price of admission

Lyrics: John
octave mandolin, organ, violin, vocals, percussion: edro

It's raining hard
Just trying to find the way
Changing ain't navigating
You bet, we're here to stay
Don't be a fool
And buy the party line
You'll soon smack the wall
It'll stop you on the dime

Give us a vector
Of which way to go
Or huddle under the stairs
And wait for it to blow
A wise man talks little
Yet still learns much
Turn an ear to the heavens
And don't curse the luck
 
Show us the way
With signs and vignettes
Show us the way
Like the fishermen
And their nets
One cannot run
From the rising sun
Only chase it as it sets

Chorus
Show us the way
And maybe some day
Show us the way
We've hitched a ride
It's anchors away
We've stowed a ride
It's anchors aweigh

The Way (lyrics: John Eagle)

corpse song, draws upon a Margaret Atwood poem of the same name from 1974. The text was interpreted as timbral and durational material while the pitch material of the piece was derived from a recording of myself reading selected lines from the poem; 
I bring you something you do not want:  
news of your future:
 soon you will have no voice  		
(My body turned against me too soon,  		
it was not a tragedy)  		
(I did not become 		
a tree or a constellation  		
(I became this illusion, this trick of 			
ventriloquism)  
swollen with words you never said, 
 swollen with hoarded love.  
I exist in two places, here and where you are.  
Pray for me not as I am but as I am.
