"it was as if an endless scream spread all throughout nature"

- Munch, about “das schrei”

Das Schrei (the cry)

evolution (link to previous profile)

"protect the kingdom or the queen shall perish dear hero. find your way swiftly, querent who is worthy. beware, you will see horrible wonders and marvelous madness. inside your soul go into the darkest places of the world and make sense of it. find your way and collect the crystals of love, peace, happiness and equanimity -- for the fifth, the crystal of disorder - is the only one left! place them in the temple of divine balance. facing the four corners of the kingdom. chant aum in all directions, as loud as you can. up you will see black, white down below; whereafter up you will see white, black down below. everything turns red, then green, but there's blue and yellow too. up you will see that down you will die, down you will see that up could be endless life. in the heavens you will find hell, in eternity you will find a desire for mortality and in infinity you will desire boundaries. up you will feel terror, awe and fear, up you won't have a body; then down you will feel ecstasy, wonder and peace, be embodied. as you come to your senses you will feel relief at re-enchantment of the mundane yet cry for illusions unrobed; you will feel pain, then relief thereof. you will find freedom in bondage to the restraints of reality and yourself. the crystals will unite the opposites, symmetrical patterns extending in all directions, the fifth crystal providing the right amount of deviation. if all deviates always there is no stability. if all is static it can't be experienced. my hero, you will know the importance of duality, understand the truth of dyadic unity, multiplicity is one, yet the one is many. the paradoxa will uncover, hvae you realize the utter necessity for complementarity. choose wisely which route you will take at each turn, for it takes only one wrong choice to fail and have our kingdom dissolve into insanity unimaginable, complete dissolution of all that is good... go now dear hero and remember to follow your heart, yet not deny the rational mind... do not fail for otherwise all will disintegrate into a state of pre-primordial formlessness, yet not nothingness. cruelly entangled in the most unfavorable ways; no void but fullness of the foulest kind... it will be awful... give it your all, i gave it my all when i before you embarked on my own quest, the journey of my undertaking the creation of this kingdom's formation. within: the grandmother who is called by many names - such as matrice - and her child who is creatrix as well, mother to you all. queen to all kings, no ruler on earth above her, a rock housing empires, people, animals, consciousness, life... divine order must be protected at all costs, the scales are no balanced, there is too great of a deviation and even though she does not love me, i want to find someone who does before i can ever let go of her. so, restore the universal balance upholding all... dear hero, if you do i will be forever grateful to you, and be with you every step of your journey afterwards.

rain gushes from the sky, it came suddenly, why?
sun then shines through water, salty tears washed away 
by sweet water of rain, a spectrum luminous, 
the sky shows a promise, no harm shall befall us

morphosis: the birth of a cosmos

the thoughts in his mind

fight between life and death

a song about war, the aftermath of the battle, ptsd and how a plant can take all that pain away.

in the dark moonless night
there was but the light
of flashes of weapons
lightning and flashlights
screams of anguish
filling the void --
the open field
where men sought death
to avoid

the bleak and bright morning
the sky turned to grey
the coldest of grain:
heavy thunder and hail
whirled from the heavens
tossed about as war raged
sickness of serpents
and tears that fell
like rain

in the fires of midday
the sky colored red
like the blood on the battlefield
of soldiers misled
from then fertile soil
do poppy flowers grow
to ease the pain of
the living left down
below

in the dark night of full moon
there was but a flash -- the
sound of thunder, a light, a small crash
soldiers woke up from their
dreams in sheer horror
for they feared what they dreamt
once real
was real once
more

sound of thunder a light crashes lightning flashlights
bombs all around, men thrown to the ground
flashes, lightning, thunder, crashes, blackness

I share artistic content as Wilco Lensink, my name, as well as my pseudonym Wilco M. van de Nacht, chosen because I “married the night”, tried to fashion meaning out of the pain that births perception, the suffering that births awareness. The emptiness, which may house everything. the fullness of it all; a ring I carry to honor our bond, unto a halo or crown of thorns. My aura, aureoles ... such pain and pleasure, such wonder and awe, yet most venomous and endless that in terror of insight of the universal mystery i almost caved. 

Much like Arjuna beholding Vishvarupa at Kurukshetra depicted in the Bhagavad Gita I saw all without purpose, reason, meaning, shivering, shaking, the chattering of my teeth... hearing “calm down, all is as it ever was, and there is an end to suffering.” then i knew there is love in this universe, all will end. i learned love and death rule all, whatever it is that one loves... it is also subject to change, one day it may be life, then love, power, or death. 

I try to weave classical and maybe mostly theoretically pleasing weaves, but dabble in other genres such as my techno project @wvandenacht, or where I sing as @michaeleon, and then there’s previous projects like @orpheus-immanuel of which this current one is really an extension. Most of my music is digitally crafted. Mimicking real instruments is a challenge, one which I enjoy. It is difficult to have something that was never played on an instrument sound like it was played by a human. 

I like to create trance-like flows. My music has evolved over the years as I started experimenting with different styles but the repeating bassline and layering of minimal patterns remain favorite. I like to create in general; this cosmic temple is my home, source of all pain but also pleasure, a sphere of such mystery it will not ever be fully unraveled i'm sure. Knowing that I explore how to express wonder and awe, but also abstract and intangible feelings through my art. 

There is the phantasmagoria of darkness and light, how in classical music there can be tension and it dissolves into consonance. I research this both known and unknown place whereon we happen to dwell... it is much like it. We live and explore, there is tension and we find ways to solve the tension and evolve. In music i find challenge, transcending my previous works is rewarding, it is both intellectually complex yet can simply be enjoyed.

Music however evokes feelings all humans share. And even though common they’re quite mysterious experiences; ethereal, complex, austere, overwhelming, strange, intangible and at times surreal. I believe music theory and nature itself, when scientifically analyzed have a lot in common, musica universalis. the distance between the planets are like 7 notes of a keyscale which too vibrate at a particular fixed frequency as to create harmony.

I would love to collaborate. contact me via wilcolensink(at)gmail.com
