i. Love Song for Anitae

Carissima meae vitae, 
Accipe meas manus 
Claude tua lumina 
Dede te
Tangēo te
Tangēs me 
deseramus lustremus 
novas vias Una
ad aeternum
Tuā formā
Habeō fidem
Habeō spem
Carmina Dulcia Anitae 
maria navigemus tempestatas 
toleremus Sequamur
 ignem caelestum 
Nostra fides dux sit
Veni sub ponte mecum
Sol Cum altissime surgat
et conveniamus
antequam deseramus
Permittas me 
ponere oscula in pedibus Inde valeamus
Lunā amnes adlucente 
adfulgenteque tua lumina


Love of my life 
Take my hand 
Close your eyes 
Surrender
I feel you 
You feel me 
Let’s run off 
And get lost 
Together Forever
All of your beauty
Brings me faith
Gives me hope
A love song for Anita

We can sail the seas
Fight through the Storms
Let us follow the fire in the sky
Faith will be our guide
Meet me under the bridge
And when the sun is at its peak
And unite as one
And before we leave
Let me kiss your feet
And share our goodbye
With the reflection of the moon on the water Illuminating your eyes

Amor Dei (NEON HEAVEN Excerpt))

NEON HEAVEN
Everything we do is for the purpose of altering consciousness.  

Inspired by mood, atmosphere, and cinematography from the likes of David Lynch’s, Twin Peaks , Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain and Nicolas Winding's, Drive and Only God Forgives, Composer Nathan Felix set out to capture a hypnotic melding of colors and music for his choral symphony, Neon Heaven.  Felix trekked through Mount Qingcheng in Chengdu, China for 8-months, writing daily as the mountains revealed echoes of monastic liturgy that provided his soundscape.  
 
Recording then took place over a 5-day period in an abandoned warehouse in East Austin in the hot summer of Texas.  Without air-condition and little light, the performers ascended to hallucinogenic levels of expression.  Sounds on the record evoke a wide range of feelings, at times hinting of a dark Mendelssohn with other moments sitting in pockets with pop sensibilities.    

Felix debuts, Neon Haven, at SPOT Festival in Denmark with conductor Mathias Sørensen and the Aarhus Studiekor.
