Test Balloon #1

At the top of the hill, in that old field, was a piano. It was weathered and quickly decaying but still making sounds.

Come tutte le più belle cose, come le rose

A little bit of psychedelic prog fart art

Roses

Lee Frank: voice, words and musical direction.
Aidene: sung voice and violin.
Remi: organ.
A spoken song composed whilst travelling along the coastline of Papua New Guinea from Port Moresby to Sepik River via Rabual. How 19th century London and bordellos appeared as a source for this song in that setting  I'll never know. Kudos to Aidene  (https://soundcloud.com/aidenearia) and Remi for magnificent understanding and patience. Their musical skills are exemplary. 

Take Me To the Whores of London

"Aphrodite"
Valhjim

O golden-crowned, of seafoam born,
Goddess of hearts, where vows are sworn,
Your gentle breath ignites the flame,
Unseen, yet felt, in love’s sweet name.

By shorelines soft, where waves caress,
Or roses bloom in fragrant dress,
You weave the threads of mortal ties,
A dance of longing 'neath your skies.

In every touch, your magic lives,
In every glance, your blessing gives,
O fairest one, to you I plea,
Grant me tender love eternally.

Thanks for listening
and for your kind and candid commentaries.

Disquiet Junto Project 0674: Cerberus Sample
The Assignment: Make a song not just with but from just one sample.

The figure of Cerberus takes me to Dante's Divine Comedy.

This is canto VI and we are in the third circle of Hell where gluttony and especially metaphorical gluttony is punished. 
We are on the night between 8 and 9 April 1300 (Holy Saturday) or, according to other commentators, between 25 and 26 March 1300. 

I sampled Gassman's reading from the third to the ninth tercet.

FEARLESS

Huomenna me bailaamme! Etkoilua ja yleistä psykefiilistelyä varten kehitimme uuden sarjan, Fiktiopsy, jossa seikkaillaan psykedeelisissä tunnelmissa Fiktion deejiiden sekä vierailijoiden kanssa! Ensimmäisen osan on tehnyt meidän oma Marumiini, joka aiemmasta poiketen tarjoilee darkkia soundia.

Omien sanojensa mukaan Marumiini lähti tutkimusmatkalle psytrancen nopeampien alagenrejen syövereihin ja eksyi darkpsyn mustaakin mustempien bassolinjojen ja psykedeelisten sointukiemuroiden synkkään syleilyyn. Matkasta syntyi kokonaisuus hypnoottisen melodisen ja välillä jopa pelottavan intensiivisen menon välillä seikkailevia rytmejä, jotka hypnotisoivat kuulijansa tummaan transsiin - Marumiinin tyyliin 😼
