In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where my thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until this newness were ready to emerge.

Losing Game, Pt. 1

In Those Days is the whole film in audio form: score and songs woven into one dark fantasy journey through the book of Judges. Oblige imagines ancient Canaan as a crownless, mythic world where toppled idols, broken vows, and flawed “heroes” move through smoke, brass, and electric shadows.

The Score side carries the cinematic spine: overtures and motifs for a land with no king, sleazy temple grooves for Baal-berith, crooked odd-meter stealth for the left-handed assassin, noir prophecy cues under the palm tree, war engines for iron chariots, midnight jazz in Jael’s tent, Gideon’s winepress anxiety, Jephthah’s vow in the dark, Nazarite themes for a man who looks ordinary but carries impossible power, and the final collapse of pillars and pride.

The Songs side gives those same stories a voice: a rock-opera prologue of “every man doing what is right in his own eyes,” a temple nightclub hymn to Baal, a sly assassin confessional, a haunted Deborah/Barak duet as the stars fight from heaven, a trembling Gideon pulled out of hiding, a daughter caught in the teeth of her father’s promise, and the quiet heartbreak and seduction orbiting Samson.

Musically, it lives where big-band jazz, progressive rock, cabaret noir, and film score collide—horns, upright bass, guitars, piano/organ, drums, and strings all sharing motifs across both albums. Heard together, this “complete motion picture soundtrack” plays like a movie that hasn’t been filmed yet: one continuous arc from “In those days there was no king…” to the unresolved hush of No King in Israel.

End Credits: No King in Israel

Verschuiving (from 'Spoel' 2xLP - Black Sweat Records)

Tra l’andarsene e il restare dubita il giorno,
innamorato della sua trasparenza.

La sera circolare è già baia:
nel suo quieto viavai oscilla il mondo.

Tutto è visibile e tutto è elusivo,
tutto è vicino e tutto è intoccabile.

Nel centro dei tuoi occhi mi scopro;
non mi guardi, mi guardo nel tuo sguardo.

 Si dissipa l’istante. Senza muovermi,
io resto e me ne vado: sono una pausa.

I fogli, il libro, il bicchiere, la matita
riposano all’ombra dei loro nomi.

Palpitare del tempo che nelle mie tempie ripete
la stessa ostinata sillaba di sangue.

La luce fa del muro indifferente
uno spettrale teatro di riflessi.

Nel centro dei tuoi occhi mi scopro;
non mi guardi, mi guardo nel tuo sguardo.

Si dissipa l’istante. Senza muovermi,
io resto e me ne vado: sono una pausa.

Si dissipa l’istante. Senza muoverti,
tu resti e me ne vado: sei una pausa.

Si dissipa l'istante. Senza muoversi,
tu resti non me ne vado: siamo una pausa

Cento based upon Octavio Paz's "Tra l'andarsene e il restare".
