кофЕ

Rasplyn is the solo project of Carolyn O’Neill who uses her experience with classical composition and film to create mystical and visual landscapes with her music. Her music is dark, but beautiful and filled with textured layers influenced by world culture and fantasy. Her style is transforming as she experiments with adding vocal elements into the environments she creates. Her collaborations with JOHN 3:16 mix his guitars and beats with layers of her clarinet and vocals to create ambient drone pieces laced with sacred stillness. Her debut album, Scenes Through the Magic Eye, was released via Mythical Records on November 30, 2014.

Taken from Alrealon Musique release, 'Rapoon - Cultural Forgeries (ALRN058)
"... In 2013 I was asked by my friend Robert Pepper (Pas Musique) if i wanted to do an "unplugged " album. I was intrigued by the idea and agreed. I thought of ways of constructing pieces that did not involve any "processing". I wanted to make something that was essentially acoustic recordings but which were composed and arranged to give some depth and intricacy to them. I started recording some of my many acoustic instruments on a portable stereo digital recorder (A Tascam DR­05..for those interested in such things). The recorder has built in microphones , so I just used those. Sometimes I placed the recorder inside a large Bodhran to get natural reverb reflections. I listened back to the things I had carefully recorded. i listened to them again...they were ok..but something was missing... I added some reverb, delay ..back masking and ....it suddenly sounded fab to me... This album is part acoustic and part processed ..all the recorded parts are live..one take. The treatments and processing are as much a part of composition as are the instruments and the recordings...In a way I failed to make an unplugged album but I did make something which was outside of my usual work process and for that i am thankful. To simply repeat the same processes over and over seems very dull to me. Viva la Difference !

Lyrics - 

Déjà Vu

Face to face
I should have kept my distance
Our chemistry brings us to existence

I tried to stay away
Let the colors fade
But it all came rushing back

I used to call you mine
Now it's lonely nights 
When my dreams replay the past

It's true 
I don't wanna move 
When there's everything to lose
Do you feel it too? Feel it too? Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu
Déjà Vu

Skin to skin,
But I wanna hold you closer
Please don't go
Oh this can't be over

I tried to stay away
Let the colors fade
But it all came rushing back

I used to call you mine
Now it's lonely nights 
When my dreams replay the past

It's true 
I don't wanna move 
When there's everything to lose
Do you feel it too? Feel it too? Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu
Déjà Vu

Abyss of Hell/Clouds of Fire - JOHN 3:16/Rasplyn

Taken from the PAS Curated Series / Alrealon Musique release, 'the JazzFakers - Here is Now' (ALRN043). Here is Now, is scheduled for release, March 25, 2013. 

the JazzFakers incorporate various forms of music including jazz, avant garde, noise, improv, and minimalism, along with a few mainstream hooks, to develop a new cutting edge sound which can only be described as ‘beautifully’ schizophrenic and original.

"...Weise Horn makes interesting use of envelope filters and foreground/background motion while the sax, drums and bass lurk like ominous blind thugs..." 
(The Big Takeover, 2013)

"...It’s a joyous uninhibited cauldron of skronks, squawks and squeals - “Experimental Jazz” according to the label on the tin, and there’s avant garde, improv and good old noise in there too.." (Mudkiss Fanzine, 2013)

"... very free form and not for the faint of heart.  On the one hand you have sounds that are cool and you never thought could be created on the other hand you hear sounds that should never have been created.  Listening to Jazzfakers is like being in a David Lynch dream sequence and/or a scene from a Lynch film where someone is totally freaking out and/or having a nervous breakdown..." (WRUV, 2013)

"...We are in a world of stylistic collage, controlled skidding, and heterogenous assemblages reminiscent of Philippe Petit’s soundworld (Pepper and Tamura appear on Petit’s recent releases). Better than the previous album – more accomplished, more distictive too. The first one was hit and miss. This one’s a keeper..."
(Monsieur Delire, 2013)

Priestess of the Goddess

Rasplyn is the solo project of Carolyn O’Neill who uses her experience with classical composition, and as a Clairvoyant Reader and Energy Healer, to create mystical and visual landscapes with her music. Carolyn is a Chicago native who grew up playing the clarinet and organ. After playing in her high school orchestra for four years, she went on to receive her degree in Music Composition from Columbia College Chicago.  Her style is dark and cinematic, bearing moments of writhing intensity and flowing release among beautifully textured layers influenced by world culture and mysterious natural forces. Her debut album, 'Scenes Through the Magic Eye', was released Nov. 30th, 2014 via Mythical Records.

Carolyn also played the bass guitar in a doom metal band called Quadrillion and has collaborated with Industrial/Ambient/Drone artist JOHN 3:16 of Alrealon Musique, Switzerland. She co-wrote and played clarinet on ‘Abyss of Hell/Clouds of Fire’ which appeared on his 2012 release, ‘Visions of the Hereafter - Visions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory’ and on ‘Yetzer Ra/Derech Hashem’ which was released on her ‘Priestess of the Goddess’ single on September 2nd, 2013. Her collaborations with JOHN 3:16 mix his guitars and beats with layers of her clarinet and vocals to create ambient drone pieces laced with sacred stillness. She has also collaborated with Finnish experimental artist & "Holy Man", Utu Lautturi, on 'Among the Stars' off of her debut album and 'Tea' off of his album 'Nielu', via Pale Noir, creating very earthy, yet other-wordly, tribal tracks that passionately conjure the darkness within. Rasplyn also contributed clarinet to the mournful track, 'My Sisters', off of Lykanthea's debut album 'Migration'. 

Carolyn co-founded and directed the Logan Square New Music Ensemble with long time friend and composer Matthew Mehawich from 2011 through 2013. The LSNME was a grass-roots chamber group who performed music written by local contemporary composers in Chicago. Carolyn also composed and played clarinet for the ensemble.

On occasion, Carolyn composes for short films and video projects that have ranged from safari videos, to documentaries, and from Asian themed video game projects to fantasy. She composed music and supervised music production for 'Everything Tastes Better', which won the 2010 Chicago 48 Hr. Film Project for Best Film, Best Music, and 8 other awards. In 2011 she composed the score for 'Lighter Lightness', a short film produced by Resolution Digital Studios with direction by Mitch Apley, and in 2014 she won the award for Best Musical Score at the Chicago 48 Hr. Film Project, for the second time, with R Underground's entry 'Faces'.

By day, Carolyn is the Production Business Affairs Manager for Resolution Digital Studios, a full-service video production studio in Chicago and she also teaches in the Astral Body Training Program at InVision: A School for Psychics where she gives Clairvoyant Readings and Energy Healings.
