Ha! Bloody hell! OK – here goes. This is my take on an old song which actually has many versions. However, I first jammed it at Kentwell Hall, Suffolk UK (go, it's cool) with good friends, the Jester Adrian Noenayme (using Tudor period instruments and any noisy objects we could lay our hands on)and the Low Players of which I am a drummer– and it's his version that I've re-arranged here. Contributor's credits also go to Andrew Bradstreet, a close collaborator of Mr Noenayme, and Em (the sinister whispery bit).

The lyrics, if you're interested are:

Chorus (re-written by your loyal author):
Horrity dorrity dorrity
horrity dorrity day,
horrity dorrity dor,
the peacock and the hen.

Verse 1:
A hen's a hungry dish,
a goose is hollow within;
there's no deceit in a pudding,
a pie's a dainty thing.

Verse 2:
All the night over and over,
all the night over again,
all the night over and over,
the peacock follows the hen!

(You may have spotted that, at one time, these lyrics were considered quite bawdy).

I play all guitars, rennaisance drums, timbrel and a set of metal shelves, the rocky vocals/screams (and did the dub-step programming etc.). The amazing Alison Allison plays rauschpfife and sopranino recorder, and performs lead vocals/whispers. Em contributed vocals/whispers and rauschpfife. Reuben provided the amazing rock cello. Last, but not least, I must thank the perpetually talented and able Choir Of The Willing - featuring Thaddeus on soprano - for stepping gamely into the breach again with special guest Tearlach (aka Tiny).

Listen with headphones or good speakers to enjoy to the fullest – especially the heavy and dub-steppy bits…

Horrity Dorrity (The peacock and the hen)

Deep and dubby ambient flow gently pulsating with atmospheric electro echoings: enter Granite. 

Inspired by natural rocks this opus is composed by Martin Van Rossum under his Martin Nonstatic moniker. 

A twelve-tracks album of smooth catchy drifts, hypnotic melodies and waves of subtle beats that contrast with lush soundscapes. 
Spiced-up blend of deep techno slash house, dub and downtempo, enhances clean-cut electronic rhythms and soothing rolling bass lines. 
Granite is Martin’s third album following releases on Bine Music and Silent Season and tracks on several compilations including Passages and the forthcoming Digiseeds by Ambientium.

With its unique cinematic downtempo aesthetics, Unyt leads us into a perpetually expanding travel through soundscapes while playing with our centers of attention, loss of focus and a certain sense of dispersion.

The album redefines Scann-Tec’s approach to musical composition and introduces multi-form field recordings vaporised in an array of analog and digital tools to create surreal and behind the veil atmospheres ; wide etheral pads floating high above his distinctive, dynamic and well-calibrated low-end,  slender drums, and finely carved rhythmic patterns set the pace gradually transforming free fall into a zero-G experiment.

Vladislav Isaev, music composer and sound sculptor from Moscow, Russia, also known as Scann-Tec started writing music in 1996. He has since been working as Audio director for NIVAL, a Russian game developer and composing music for various TV Series. Vladislav collaborated with The Future Sound of London and Mark Morgan on several projects, and with his partner Elena on Broadcast of Variants.

After several tracks on various compilations and two solo albums, Scann-Tec releases his third opus Unyt on Ultimae.

Adventure, Ho! Last time on "Adventure, Ho!", the mage-orc Gnarlnosh was granted 1d4 wishes from a Deck of Many Things and it totally screwed up the game balance. Why? Because the DM sort of sucks, but he thought "Oh, sure - this could be fun... how could giving a mage-orc a fully provisioned army in the middle of a desert possibly sidetrack the quest for finding a cure for a magical disease that is ruining the kingdom AND the healer elf." Deck of Many Things; BAH! More like Deck of This-Campaign-Jumped-the-Shark.
