Ellipsis

Air (by The Wingbeats)

I don't want to hear those who think I am crazy
I don't want to move further than my doorstep
Everything is hidden, nothing you can see
Don't ever come to me, coz' I am a real threat
Before, yeah long before
I was happy to be a really good citizen
I was walking 'round the city
And the parks enjoying the
Sun but the clouds followed me
Some found a shelter
But none for me
I'm standing everyday facing dirty little walls
Sometime at night, I see them moving
Someone's knocking at my door, I might be breaking balls
I'm shaking with a fever, will I still be alive in the morning
♪
World is going by my window
I bury my head under my pillow
Before, yeah long before
I was happy to be a really good citizen
I was walking 'round the city
And the parks enjoying the
Sun but the clouds followed me
Some found a shelter
But none for me

Saga

Here's an old Scottish tune that used to be a sailors' song or barcarolle. It's now played as a lullaby or as a Slow March for the pipers. Due to some of the lyrics that are attached to it, the song can illustrate the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the last of the Stewart's pretender, toward the isle of Skye, after the battle of Culloden (1746). As you may know, it is also the main theme of the TV Series “Outlander”.

Voici une ancienne mélodie écossaise qui était autrefois une chanson de marins ou une barcarolle. Elle est maintenant jouée comme une berceuse ou comme une Slow March pour les joueurs de cornemuse. En raison de certaines des paroles qui y sont attachées, la chanson peut illustrer la fuite de Bonnie Prince Charlie, le dernier des prétendants Stuart, vers l'île de Skye, après la bataille de Culloden (1746). Comme vous le savez peut-être, c'est aussi le thème principal de la série télévisée "Outlander".

The Skye Boat Song

Approaching Europa is part of Child of Jupiter - a serene ambient album that captures the essence of a journey to Jupiter and Europa. The tracks blend subtle, atmospheric sounds, creating a peaceful backdrop ideal for relaxation or contemplation. It's a quiet homage to the wonders of space, inviting listeners to a gentle, auditory exploration of our solar system.

Approaching Europa

I got rid of the bridge before the guitar solo...

One minute you're here
And the next you're marching
I don't like your mimes
Will you hold me tight
And not go snogging
Don't be afraidTo try skyving

It's only tears on my cheek
It's only tears on myCheeks

Everyone is zombie like
Some sometimes
Your fucking words
Cut deeper that a tweeny
Oh I finally see the crime

It's only tears on my cheek
It's only tears on my
There's nothing left for us to go back
Ah ah ah ah ah
Tears on my cheeks
Ah ah ah ah ah
Tears on my, tears on my, tears on my cheek
It's only a fucking tear on cheek
Who's responsable for that fucking tear?
It's only tears on my
It's only tears on my
On my cheek
It's only tears on my
It's only tears on my
On my cheek
It's only tears on my
It's only tears on my
On my cheek
It's only tears on my
It's only tears on my
On my cheek

Ah Shit !

Tears on my Cheek

A Bridge Between Time

The beak-faced, egg-breasted Bird Mother is the oldest known supernatural deity and she was worshipped in the oak groves of these isles long before any other more humanoid entities.

I wrote this after learning that frequency spectographic research found the dawn chorus builds, with its sound, what looks like cathedrals of light. (More here: https://anniedieuleveut.com/2021/01/14/the-cathedrals-of-light-sung-by-the-dawn-chorus/) 

I am very grateful to APi-ZZ (Andreas Pirner) for composing such enchanting music. You can find him here: https://soundcloud.com/api_zz

Poem: 

All honour to the Crane bag of the Bird Mother, 
with its Ogham runes and snakes' eggs blue 
that birth the laws to protect the young, 
and those who will later come along 
to live under Her eye of the Moon. 
Our groves were grown for her Offertory 
and even now that they have become churches, 
her birds still intone sonic cathedrals of light 
to wind Saturn’s clock for each new day ... 
and will do for so long as the Earth is.

The murmuring Starlings keep vigil in the dark, 
sparkling in their bright constellations. 
A Long-Eared Owl hoots the Magnificat 
through the cloisters, to prepare the Mass 
for the sleep-dreaming congregations. 

An Eagle arrives at the lectern 
to conduct the Liturgy of Hours, 
its hawkwind-breath inspires and expires 
through the lead-slated roofs and copper spires, 
with prayers reaching up to Her flower-decked bower.
Then a Martin begins the morning Matins 
by swift-spiralling above to show 
we’re all part of the round robin rhyme 
of the tic-tocking Wheel of Time, 
here in our nests and bowers down below. 

At Lauds, a Lark ascends through tree-lined arches 
into the heavenly fan vaulting, 
a glorious Gloria trilling on its tongue, 
that the Sun will keep its promise 
that a new day will come, 
its joy unstinting and unhalting, 
As through the leaded panes of the old church Quire, 
skies are turning from blusher to butter, 
while songbirds in serried ranks, brightly arrayed, 
are chirping and whistling a dawn chorus of praise 
to Her Blessedness, the egg-breasted Bird Mother.

At Prime, a Peregrine Falcon flies to the tower, 
to squawk in the new Sun. 
Then a Torquoise Jay emerges at Terce 
to Gregorian chant the chapter and verse, 
now that the third hour after dawn has come. 

White Swans take flight from their lakes 
to lead the sublime symphony of Sext. 
They soar past choirs of stone-winged angels 
to ring the bells and the Summer Triangle, 
all down the nave and through the transepts. 

Next it’s the turn of a red-cloaked Cardinal.
He intones a psalm, accompanied by a bassoon. 
It is Nones, which marks the ninth hour since sunrise, 
and so we have now reached mid-afternoon. 

Long purple shadows are silently descending 
from the wings of a bald-headed Vulture 
flying in for Vespers at this juncture, 
So we know that the day She gave is now ending.

 Finally, at Compline, a black Crow arrives, 
the incense to light, and to recite the Agnus Dei.
He perches on the altar in full magisterium, 
to hoarsely croak out a sombre Requiem, 
“...aeternum dona eis, Domine.” 
to bring down the thick velvet curtain of night. 

And then a Robin sings the Last Rites. 

All this, in honour of the Crane bag of the Bird Mother, 
with its Ogham runes and snakes' eggs blue 
that birth the laws to protect the young, 
and those who will later come along 
to live under Her Eye of the Moon.

Rock 'n' Roll Session

Hello Folks 👋,

This is my new track "Whispers of Elysium".

I wanted to create a piece which is not hitting as hard as the last few pieces by focusing more on the non-percussive elements of the orchestra.

The track was inspired by the Album "Humanity Chapter 3" by Thomas Bergersen. If you haven't listened to it i can really recommend it to you , it's such a great album!

Enjoy the music :)

"Whispers of Elysium,
Soft breeze through heavenly fields,
Peaceful souls ascend."

Whispers Of Elysium

This song is about a pariah witch who communes with the spirits of a forest before laying waste to a cruel and decrepit village by turning into a dragon and breathing fire on them. The second half of the song concerns a gladiator who has managed to escape his captors, he walks on the roads of the exiles, those banished from civilisation and finds this dragon witch of legend, asking her to help him exact revenge on his masters. Together they drink magically infused melted iron ore which transforms them into dragons before they seek out and destroy their decadent enemies. 

Lyrics 

She walks with solemnity among those who would rather crawl
A pariah 
In the eyes of miniscule minds
Seeking solace in the forest that they had forsaken
Battered though her spirit they had not taken
The dawn of the damned, 
Announced by the battle cry

Maiden of Mayhem
Daughter of the Dragon
Winged Witch descendeth upon the wick'd 
Purifying them with her fire
Inhaling fumes of their hate
Exhaling deserv'd fate
Creation from annihilation
A new world is born

Eat a piece of death my mors ontologica
For we are corruptions of the universe

On the road of the prodigals
These legends I had been told
I travel to this serpent sorceress
She summons the dragon within us
To unleash upon our advesaries
Why change our attitudes to this messed up reality
Bearing chalices we taste the iron ore

What once was distant shall soon be near
What once was there shall soon be here
Conjured by their cruel commands
We're going to return the favour
Our steeds shadow the lands
This misery they gave me I'll leave sooner or later

Witch of the Wyvern
Answer my call
Help me bring forth their fall
With incendiary grace
You banish the darkness
Goddess of the dragon I kneel before thee.

Cassini is a band which seeks to create rock music without boundaries. In addition it is also about big riffs, even bigger guitar solos and prog rock wig outs. Every genre is up for grabs in the experimentation stakes.  The purpose of the Projekt is that no one listens to it. This music isn't for human ears. Viral popularity and societal definitions of success are irrelevant. The Projekt was set up in 2008 by a one Alex Mc Donnell following the breaking up of several previous bands.

Forbidden Knowledge

In the beginning there was nothing...then there was The Cassini Projekt! Emerging from the primordial molten fires of the early universe, he who is known by many names, and who you know as yours truly, or falsely, given his many masks, was given a mission...a mission to save rock n' roll and restore the musical cosmos to equilibrium. This task spanning longer than the age of the visible universe he grasped, as it seered its veritable import into his hands of creation. Weilding his fiery axe, illuminated with the flames of destiny, he visited many worlds across the galactic superclusters, restoring musical awesomeness to all and now, he is here on the planet you call Earth to share with you his songs of incandescent awe. He is the Shadow-walker, he is Trent Jameson, he is Max Satanski, he is Hans Kurtz, he is the Xanderzone, he is...The Cassini Projekt, HE is...
