Difficult for children to fall asleep the nights before Christmas....With the sampled voice of Ana, my granddaughter.....Merry Christmas to all

THE NIGHTS OF ADVENT.

While we wait for BARDS: Of The Shimmering Seraphs to finish physical production, in the meantime we are forging ahead with a new crop of songs for the next album. The next album will serve as a continuation of the oracle deck concept, featuring songs about "objects" - the first of which be this little song about the magical horn of the elusive and beautiful Aardvark Girl. It is also about a recently discovered strange dwarf planet at the farthest reaches of our solar system.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà  was discovered on 19 Oct 2007 at the Palomar observatory in California, at 9:09 UT. Gkunhomdima is a member of the extended scattered disc and is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). Its orbit is inclined 23° off the ecliptic and is quite elliptical. It was knocked out of a normal orbit early in the history of the solar system, probably as Neptune migrated outward to its current position, which gives the high  inclination of Gkunhomdima’s orbit. However, there is no known orbital resonance with any other planetary body, except for its binary companion. Its ‘moon’, or secondary is called G!o’e !Hu (pronounced GOH ay KOO). Goeku means ‘horn’, or Oryx horn. And that takes us to a bit of mythology.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is also the Beautiful Aardvark Girl of Juǀʼhoan mythology, who sometimes appears in the stories of other San peoples as a python girl or elephant girl; she defends her people and punishes wrongdoers using gǁámígǁàmì spines [devil’s thorn plant], a rain-cloud full of hail, and her magical oryx horn.

LYRICS:
-------------------------------
Aardvark girl, come trumpet your horn
Bellow your clarion call
Summon your dark and impenetrable cloud
And let your hailstones fall

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound

Scatter the poisoned thorns in their lane
May they tread upon those in their path
The stinging in their feet shall remind them
They’ll be dead before their next bath

Aardvark girl burrow down in your den
The night will be ending soon
The Oryx are gathered at the watering hole
And your face is in the moon

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound
We are just ants crawling around on the ground
We are just termites in a crumbling mound

The Oryx of the Aardvark Girl

About the depths of depression that I call the blackstuff. Happens to all of us, the trick is escaping.

Liz Dicker gave me the honor and pleasure of recording the solo piano version of "Remember". Her incredibly soulful playing shows the deeper connection she has found with this piece and that makes me very proud, to be honest.
Thank you so much, Liz

File Updated: 13/04/25 @ 02:51 GMT ~ Added piano - bass guitar, acoustic guitar picked and melody vocal line on top of spoken line that was there

Try - 148 bpm... consider up tempo extension with chorus  guitar 


"me" refers to you yourself discovering 

1.618 seconds between each reverse effected beat. It's actually just a pitch less bass slap 100% reverse effected and then re reversed to forward in DAW. But retained the flavour of reverse being 100% effected from the start


Lyrics
Let "me" be your guide
Stream spiritual insight
There's a shape shifting prize
Where your will shakes the show to shine

Tease tuned tonal Toltec dream
To please this whole reality
We are not afraid
We have it now and everyday
Limitless self
One deeper way

Mesoamerican mind
Bending space and time
Universal fabric
Where intention fabric wind

Our spirit was moulded to know
Aside good Gulf of Mexico
Where names forever mean
Dinnseanchas from real
Like all water forever know
Good GULF OF MEXICO 🕺🏽

Good Gulf of Mexico...
We all know


Incase I've made you all serious....

Trump's desperate move to try and rename the Gulf of Mexico shows how weak he is. He shows how badly a mind can be poisoned when it blocks out their spirit. Whatever you believe about what he's doing/trying to do/has,hasn't done... He's a racist c*nt and that's a fact ... and the only way he's not is worse .. He plays on racist stereotypes and xenophobic poison within American culture and amplifies and nourishes it (🟧Scumbag {sorry orange square}) Both scenarios mean DT will always find history books as the divider he IS... His ancestors destroyed most of the culture that brought the wisdom this song discusses to light. So he ain't ever changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico as long as I'm alive. Not in my world anyways. If only the world reacted to his monopoly game with real money like they did to this attempted name change. We could accelerate the inevitable decline of this poison if we did put it up to them... I know that would mean a temporary pain and shift for all of us but we would come out the other side a better less greedy humanity.

It does paint very very nakedly how insular the people that celebrate that change of name without a very very bad taste in their mouths. Not a care in the world for anyone else but themselves. They urinate themselves all over the world "thinking" they are the pinnicle of civilisation. Well the smell is getting a bit rancid for everyone else and soon they won't be able to bare it either. Headline humans dumbing themselves down to oblivion. They'll burn away soon. Change is coming for the greater good 🍿

Overview

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
