Music by Richard deCosta

This piece delves into timeless themes of love, heartache, and ineffable beauty, weaving together classical orchestration with Western and decidedly non-Western instruments and rhythms. Captivating vocals bring to life the emotionally charged poetry, set against a backdrop of rich orchestral layers and percussion. Experience a union of historical depth and contemporary artistry.


Fragment of gazel by Sultan Osman II (known as Osman the Young) under his pen name, Farisî (17th Century)

Soon as I beheld thee, mazed and wildered grew my sad heart;
How shall I my love disclose to thee who tyrant dread art?
How shall I hold straight upon my road, when yonder Torment
Smitten hath my breast with deadly wounds by her eyelash-dart?
Face, a rose; and mouth, a rosebud; form, a slender sapling

How shall I not be the slave of Princess such as thou art?
Ne'er hath heart a beauty seen like her of graceful figure;
Joyous would I for yon charmer's eyebrow with my life part.
Farisî, what can I do but love that peerless beauty?
Ah! This aged sphere hath made me lover of yon sweat-heart.

Verse 1:
At that time shall rise Michael, the guardian prince,
In days of distress unseen since nations' commence.
Yet, those inscribed in the Book shall find their peace,
Delivered from turmoil, their sorrows shall cease.

Verse 2:
From earth's dusty sleep, many shall awake,
To life everlasting or contempt, their fate to take.
The wise shall gleam with celestial light,
Guiding to righteousness, shining ever bright.

Chorus:
Daniel, seal the words till the end of days,
As many seek wisdom in myriad ways.
In the scroll's secrets, the future lies,
Awaiting the time when knowledge shall rise.

Embark on a cinematic journey with Namasthay, a visionary artist whose eclectic life is as diverse and vibrant as his music. 
"Improvised, imperfect, eternal: music as memory". Our story begins with a young Namasthay carving pristine paths through snow, collaborating with snowboarding legend Axel Pauporté, epitomizing the free spirit that defines his artistic voyage, filming home videos and pranks as precursor to CKY and Jackass with friends.

Transitioning from adrenaline-fueled slopes to electrifying riffs, Namasthay co-founded a punk-rock ensemble, occasionally joined by bassist and Red Bull daredevil Cedric Dumont. Although the band remained somehow nameless, their music resonated deeply within the underground scene.

A serendipitous encounter on a motor skateboard caught the attention of a producer, propelling Namasthay into the limelight as a symbol of extreme sports in Brussels on RTL TV, and to it's first CyberCafé. Armed with a diploma, he immersed himself in the throbbing pulse of the CyberTheatre and Nirvanet's underground music realms, legendary early dark web website twice awarded by UNESCO as "best of the web", where encounters with Howie B and Laurent Garnier fueled his creative fervor, and Björk’s innovative essence left a lasting impression, thru HowieB.

Deepening his sonic exploration, Namasthay drew inspiration from his brother Alex's Ninja Tune collection, diving into breaks and beats that ignited his artistic expression. His distinct flair was spotlighted in hip-hop videos by A6000 and Akro (Universal), portraying him as a unique bridge between authoritative figures and street culture in 1030 Brussels.

The narrative threads through his artistic evolution—from local sensation to an accomplished music arranger collaborating with talents like Piccaya, fostering a partnership steeped in musical synergy. The ethereal and emotive soundscapes of Boards of Canada backdrop his growth, steering him from underground acclaim to a pioneer of spontaneous music creation under his enduring DeviantArt alias, Namasthay.

Launching as Namasthay, he spearheads a new wave of Emo-Spontaneity, where every note is improvised, every song sung for the first time, encapsulating the pure essence of spontaneous creation. This approach heralds a movement where perfection resides in the inception of each musical act.

Touching heavens with Victory in his 32nd album in less than a year, his AI algorithm perceives and recognizes possible world peace starting 2027. The 25th of December 2024 he publishes his 33rd album, Singularity - anniversary of a mere one year of creation, as he started composing albums on Christmas Eve 2023...

"Namasthay: The Symphony of Spontaneity" celebrates an unyielding commitment to craft, the luminous expanse of his experiences, and his belief in music as an unscripted journey—akin to his own life—a melody that harmonizes with the unpredictable rhythms of existence. Enjoy!
