im sinklicht lehnt sie
ihren leib zurück, drängt
die adepten ihres sonnenichs
nun die strahlen nachtfest

zu verzurren - fühlt sich
blickdicht verwobenes nicht
schmaler an als
schlafspliss-katzenzwirn

interlinear translation: amathia // in the lowering of the light, she / leans back her body, demands /from the suitors of her sunlight self / to tie down the rays // for the night - don't / blackout textures feel / thinner than / sleepfrayed catyarn

From the new album 'Welcome Anomaly"
moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-anomaly

On "Welcome Anomaly" Mood Exhibit returns to electronic sounds with a fierce enthusiasm.
This new album contains some of the boldest and most adventurous electronic music from the mind of ME. - exploring IDM, electro, melodic electronica, and granular experimental, all with an emphasis on detail and evolution.

Mood Exhibit - Choke/Essence

Image is from the 1977 masterpiece that is 'Fungus the Bogeyman' by Raymond Briggs.  

Another Day in Bogeydom

Two Anima To Respect is an electro‑ambient piece in F minor, shaped by a nostalgic undertone. Pulsing textures and restrained rhythms carry both longing and rigidity, while shimmering layers evoke desire and memory. The mood is contemplative yet tense, echoing the dialogue of two inner anima, one inviting, one resisting, woven into sound.  

Anima is Jung’s term for the inner feminine aspect of a man’s psyche — a symbol of emotion, intuition, and soul connection.

North 
Towards the white pole
South
Towards the red heron
The pulse beats wild and straight.

Beloved muse
Threshold of my longing
It is you who makes my soul flicker
Like a curtain of stars.

In the well of time
The years multiply their swarm
O you, my loveless traitor
Must you torture me still?

Open my chest
You will see it is full of snow
The snow of your name
Covering stamens of blood.

I will make you feel
What you do not want to feel.

Seen for the last time...

The Snow of Your Name
