Libretto:

"I'm thinking of your message and the brutality of it," she said. "Why do you communicate with anyone, if every time you do, you leave a trail of corpses behind you?"

All our betrayals that leave undone.

Your voice
A bell
At bottom of
A crystal well.

And you will not find me
When you look for me.

We had drinks at DeBretts and then went to the Derek Jarman exhibition at the Gus Fisher Gallery. Omnia showed me the Rose Chatouillé oil paint she had purchased earlier this afternoon. "It's such a beautiful colour," she said.

No. We didn't go to DeBretts for drinks, nor did we go to the Jarman exhibition together. The communication broke down between us so it did not happen. Although we did go, a week later, to Le Garde-Manger. And it was there, in the outdoor courtyard, over wine and escargots, that she said we should go to a hotel and have wild sex.

"Fffffff-f-fuck me yeahhh
Fffff-f innocent f-fuck meal soft
Learn
More
Fucking
Meal
You'll be my new lover!"

Omnia's smiling face is the surgical spoon that I use to eat my own brains for breakfast.

"Would you like a second helping?" she asks.

She towers high above me, on altitudinous limbs, gazing down from immeasurable heights.

Her long tresses billowing in the stiff breeze. 

Her bare, barbarous breasts banked with pearl-grey clouds.”


Rose Chatouillé (Redux)

words&vocals-Khan
Guitar,bass,drum,mix-Tomoki

lyrics
The rain began to fall
Washed away
Wet footprints
The  rain began to fall
Washed away
web  words 
The  rain began to fall
Washed away
White flowers 
The rain began to fall
Washed away 
White lazy clouds 
The rain began to fall
Washed away 
White lazy shells
The rain began to fall
Washed away 
White parasol 
The rain began to fall
Washed away 
Sand castles
The rain began to fall
Washed away
Sweet and bitter
We just look lazy rain castle
There is no  meaning in anything
降り出した雨が消していく
濡れた足跡
降り出した雨が消していく
ウェブの言葉
降り出した雨が消していく
白い花
降り出した雨が消していく
のんびりした白い雲
降り出した雨が消していく
のんびりした白い貝殻
降り出した雨が消していく
白いパラソル
降り出した雨が消していく
砂の城
降り出した雨が消していく
苦くて甘いものたち
私たちは気怠い雨の城を見てる
全てのことに意味はない

Chapter 244 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
