A sorrow-machine speaks in glass chords and breath loops. “Me and the Devil Janus Scale 2” is a fracture ritual. The melody reconstitutes itself like broken pottery fused with gold: ancient blues trauma filtered through hyper-real vocal relief, ensemble decay, and cathedral glitch. The track breathes, collapses, reforms. It’s the sound of an elegy sung through corrupted memory buffers and remembered by a choir that never existed.

Me and the Devil - The Janus Take 2

The Two Sons of Oxenford unfolds like a crooked folktale whispered in a smoke-hung club, told in three increasingly unbuttoned movements. Anchored by a lazy, behind-the-beat narrator who sings as if he’s forgotten he’s still on stage, the piece sways from wry balladry into deconstructed jazz fusion, gradually shedding melodic certainty for something looser, stranger, more haunted. Horn stabs, Rhodes stumbles, and rhythm section shrugs shape a world where nothing resolves—except the inevitability of charm slipping into consequence. A lounge suite for the end of myth.

The Two Sons of Oxenford

Childe Maurice
A barroom confession that forgets how to end.
This track begins in velvet—lazy swing, harpsichord, upright bass—but fractures halfway through. Time slips. The singer drags behind the grid, stumbles into silence, then emerges altered: half-spoken, half-erased.
Jazz fusion at the edge of noir, built on a chamber pop skeleton, collapsing into digital fog.

Childe Maurice

Macbeth speaks in low light.
A slow groove carries the weight of the words. Rhodes chords drift behind him. The rhythm holds steady but never settles. Nothing resolves. The room is small and empty. He is speaking to no one.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (Bonus Track)

A chamber of vapor and static. Lady Diamond conjures a jazz fusion ghost story, where Roy Tanner’s lead cuts through a fog of spectral Rhodes and decaying harmonies. The groove is haunted but never lost. Every phrase is held just long enough to betray its warmth before the cold grid swallows it again. What begins as a folk recollection ends as a noir incantation — drained, glitched, unmoored.

Lady Diamond

"The door of my night is closing."

Old Hamlet lies in the orchard. The afternoon is quiet. The serpent approaches.

This is the sound of a dynasty collapsing from the inside out—a "Divine Injury" rendered in audio. Fusing the weight of Late Romantic symphonic opera with the grit of industrial doom, this movement captures the exact moment the hebenon enters the blood. The poison isn't just a liquid; it is a frequency. It files the bones with hasty industry.

As the King fades, the sunrise becomes a deadline, and the silence of the garden is broken by the noise of Hell waiting to claim its prize.

Vocal Dramatis Personae (Synthetic voices, not cloned)

The Ghost: A tectonic Basso Profondo (Oktavist range) delivering the recitative with the weary resonance of the grave.

The Intruder: A manic Alto Soprano (The Devil/The Madness) mocking the King’s final moments.

The Chorus: A Monastic Male Choir providing a Gregorian harmonic foundation, chanting the Liturgy of the Dead (Dies Irae) against the encroaching industrial decay.

Hamlet: The Ghost in the Orchard

A folk tale dissolves into vapor. The Twa Sisters of Binnorie drifts on a rusted Rhodes and a slow pulse of static. The vocal moves close and steady in a room that never quite holds still. Glitches bloom in the walls. Harmonic colors fade and return like half‑remembered motives. Each turn of the story sinks deeper into nocturnal haze until the melody feels like a voice singing from the bottom of the river.

The Twa Sisters of Binnorie

This four-movement suite operates as a sonic excavation of the Child Ballad tradition. The piece begins as a sparse acoustic prologue that establishes the cold geometry of the court and the pouring of the poison. It then accelerates into a frantic acid jazz gallop as the messenger races against a dissolving timeline. The structure eventually collapses under its own weight into a slow industrial dirge for the final confrontation before evaporating into a ghostly pastoral myth where the briar and the rose intertwine. It is a recording of a 17th-century tragedy decaying in real time.
