so beautiful, such wonderful changes in sound and drama, I love listening...

A truly amazing and fascinating piece of music!  Wow!

inspirational, I love the use of piano with marimba combo sound

A very beautiful composition, the cinematic atmosphere stimulates the imagination from the very beginning. From the first notes, the music captures the listener, transporting them into a vivid world of emotion and narrative. An outstanding quality of the piece not only complements the melodies but also enhances the overall listening journey, making it both captivating and memorable. The melody, carefully crafted and intricately arranged, flows seamlessly through various themes and motifs, each one adding depth and character to the composition. The instrumentation is masterfully realized, with each instrument contributing its unique voice to the harmonious whole, creating layers of sound that are both complex and enchanting. Best Regards!

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

This original country tune depicts a bit of a dilemma where a woman attempts to get close to a guy who generally keeps people at arm’s length, away from his private world. He is very protective of his inner thoughts and fears rejection by “outsiders”. But she respects his reservations while maintaining her requests to get closer to the inner most man she desires. The song ultimately reveals what the man chooses to do.

We are so grateful to once again have the impeccable Larry Deming join us on fiddle to add so much country flavor to this song. He’s a great talent and so intuitive in his interpretation of our music when he joins in! Thanks Larry!

Lyrics: C’mon In by Daniels & Durgy

You keep on knockin’ when, I back away,
You seem convinced there’s something there
Something deep inside, this place I stay,
Some secret heaven I should share

But I’m not sure you want, to go there, 
Or that I should let you in
And if it only leads us nowhere, 
My carelessness would be a sin 
But even then, oh

C’mon in my private cloud, dear, c’mon in and meet the boys
You’ll see why no one is allowed here, Behind the blind and the decoys 
Well, I been shootin’ out the lights girl, Me and myself, and sometimes I
And now you’ve got me in your sights girl, 
And I can’t leave you there, I can’t leave you there outside   

I’ve been safe inside, this hallowed ground, 
Where everything is about me
Whenever I confide, it gets put down, 
We’ve all got someplace else to be

But damn it’s fun to go, up in my cloud, 
Where only God has stuck around
But if you want to know, what I’m about, 
Then this is surely where you’re bound 
Well, c’mon in my cloud

C’mon in my private cloud, dear, c’mon in and meet the boys
You’ll see why no one is allowed here, Behind the blind and the decoys 
Well, I been shootin’ out the lights girl, Me and myself, and sometimes I
And now you’ve got me in your sights girl, 
And I can’t leave you there, I can’t leave you there outside 
Ohhhh c’mon in…..

I’ve been safe inside, this hallowed ground, 
But I want you to c’mon in, c’mon in

C’mon In

C'mon In
