ENNA LYRICS by RITUEL ENCENS

" Back to itself, it there discerns,
With strange excitement and amazed,
Deep down in my own self, the rays
Of living opals, torch-like gleams
And pallid fire of eyes ...
Cat is God "

For my Cat +Requiescat in pace+

" De retour à lui-même, il y discerne,
Avec une étrange excitation et étonnement,
Au plus profond de moi-même, les rayons
Des opales vivantes, des lueurs de torche
Et le feu pâle des yeux "
Chat est Dieu

Pour mon Chat +Requiescat in pace+

Garso

Expansive, immersive, epic dark ambient drone journey (with occasional hints of relevant noise, experiments and twists as always, hopefully at all the right moments for those now listening).

Exploring the themes of 'Mother Nature' as a living breathing entity, the intriguing forests of the world, and how we should make more of an effort, small and daily, large and for our lifetimes, to take care of the very things that give us our existence.

Made between December 16th and May 3rd 2022, using piano, voice, bass, drums, several field recordings in Orlová Cz, no 'Paulstretch' and lots of manipulations and layering.

I hope you will step away from reality for an hour and let my sounds and nature guide your brain and feelings. I promise it is a warming, fulfilling trip once you are inside.

According to ancient tradition, Sappho was the inventor of an instrument by the name of “pēktis”, or the first Greek poet to use this instrument which originated in Lydia, seems to have been a kind of lyre, and is mentioned in one of the fragments, although without any kind of description.
A large proportion of the surviving poetry of Sappho (c. 630-570 BCE) is preserved in the form of narrow papyrus fragments, resulting from the manuscript being torn into strips for binding mummies in Egypt. The text used in this composition is numbered in the extant works of Sappho as fragments 88a and 88b. Not enough of this poem is preserved for the reader to get an overall idea of its subject matter – not one line is complete, and not all lines contain even a single complete word - and what remains has the quality of disjunct glimpses into intimate secrets, perhaps as if intermittently overheard.
However, the metrical structure of the 28 lines (which may or may not be the complete poem) is known, so that the remaining words and syllables can be fitted into it with a certain degree of accuracy, and this composition is based around these 28 units, each consisting of 16 events (syllables) divided into short and long durations according to the metre, with the fragments of text occurring at their original metrical positions so far as I’ve been able to work these out. (One complicating factor is that in the metre of this poem, called “acephalus hipponactean with a double choriambic expansion”, the first syllable of a line may be short or long...) The durations of the lines are regular at the beginning and become more irregular as the music continues, and the distinctions within them between “short” and “long” durations undergo more complex evolutions, although both categories generally become longer in the course of each line. Against this framework ,of 28 lines each of 16 events, is placed a repeating series of 32 times 14 diatonic pitches (each diatonic pitch class twice) distributed through the entire range of the harp, whose actual identity at each iteration is “modulated” by gradual changes in pedal settings, which in turn cycle through all the available modes containing both a cluster of three semitones and a cluster of four semitones. Thus the harmonic colour of the music is always changing but at the same time remaining consistent in character. The 16 events in each line are assigned to a sequence of 16 sound-types (harmonic, glissando, chord, counterpoint and so on) although only 8 of the 16 events in each line follow this scheme, a different selection each time, the others being freely realised. The vocal pitches used for the text generally involve taking the harp pitch assigned to the event corresponding to a particular syllable, and transposing it into the range of the voice, taking into account the tonal character of ancient Greek. Silences between the lines grow very gradually shorter towards the centre of the piece and then expand rapidly

Richard Barrett - pēktis

This album came to be in result of the challenge we set for us for the advent time of 2023. We set rules that we would produce and release a track and my partner Anna Repman would do a painting for this track. For 20 days we continue to release until we decided to abrupt it few days before Christmas. Resulting album turned out to cover a bunch of different genres, from ambient and soundscape to hip=hop beats and even breakcore.
