Passage One

‘ante mare undae’
Modular Hedonism.
Track created in 2022.

'Ante Mare Undae' is the motto of the House of Rochechouart (Latin contraction of 'Avant que la mer fût au monde, Rochechouart portait les ondes' / 'Before the sea was in the world, Rochechouart carried the waves').

Madame de Montespan, the Sun King's great love and mistress, belonged to this very old French family. They regularly met up at the former ‘Porcelain Trianon’ located in the royal estate of Versailles, a place renowned for its marvellous gardens.

Passage Two

Second track of my album 'Generative Stills'. This album was created by programming generative compositions, which were 'recorded' - and so fact made 'ungenerative' - and used as a starting point for this record (GS1, GS2, and GS3). Snapshots of generative music, one could say. Hence the title 'Generative Stills'. In between are two regular recordings (IN1 and IN2). For some info about Generative Music visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_music.

JWM - The Question Remains

Dark Ambient Music inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos cult. Be scared and enjoy!

CTHULHU MYTHOS - COVERN

Found in the notebooks of a country doctor, dated September 12, 1856, the dream of Auguste Flamand, a farm worker from northern France, is a surprising mixture of possession and visions of the future. After a strong blow to the head, Auguste Flamand reportedly lost consciousness for several minutes. When he came to, he said he had been dreaming.
"...I heard the death knell tolling for me, followed by a few chords of funeral music... A noisy crowd that frightened me, speaking a language I didn't understand, invited me to join them, but a high-pitched sound was protecting me, seeking to bring me back among the living... Finally, the crowd moved away and a woman appeared to me, strange, dressed like a man... She seemed to be coming towards me, her footsteps echoing loudly on the stone, but she didn't stop, continuing on her way to a strange horseless carriage (a car?) whose door she opened. I woke up when she slammed the door…”
