"All Forms Are Unreal" by Enceladus ReX

conscious insecure defence
pushes hair out her chin
acne out her skin
headache from walking in this space
your effulgence drew me out
my existence is all about 
incarnation as the sound

Epitaph (for Theo Calis 1960 - 2020)

Martin Hoogeboom: guitar/loop station
Marlon Wolterink: mastering

Theo and I have worked on countless music projects over the past 40 years. I have learned a lot from his stubborn and headstrong views and methods of recording and mixing music. His influence on my soundscapes is immense. In 2014 we both enjoyed working on “Where Do We Go From Here?” (2014 - Etched Traumas - ET77) which became also part of the soundtrack of Australian short movie “Grid Face”. Pieces for acoustic guitar and loop station.

In 2017 I worked on a sequel, the guitar suite "Licht". 
“Epitaph (for TC)” is originally a demo version of one of the pieces but unused in the “Licht” version as it appeared on CD (2018 “LIght / Well” - Thirsty Leaves Music - TLM019). Due to Theo’s health problems it was not possible to collaborate on this project but he appreciated the sober minimal guitar pieces for what they were.

I will remember Theo with great respect for the rest of my life.

Epitaph (for TC)

K Ludd - Jadu Theme

Shifting sax and floaty flute played by Jonathan Ogara (https://soundcloud.com/allopenelectrics)
For a solo, live, acoustic version see: https://youtu.be/IPTSFz0ap1c

It’s a time of the sighs and the lies on the radio
Dumbing down
It’s a sign of the times and the crimes of the bully boys
Lost in all that noise, with their dangerous toys
Shifting sands, shifting sands, camouflage guilty hands
Do the straw man, law man, flag man, bogey man
Fooling fools
Salesmen, pale men, stale mediocrities
Riding the wave of faith, nothing’s safe

Strive all your life, take the long road to understand
Knowledge base
You can search and research, learn the lessons from the history
They believe the mouth instead
The mouth in the empty head
