thebrokencradle What a brilliant album and new discovery for me. The genres are all over the place but somehow manage to create a cohesive album that is new, interesting, and unlike anything I've heard in quite some time. Favorite track: L'Etoile Flamboyante.

Journey outward, state of the soul First emanation, noumenal relation His wallet is inscribed with dim signs Subconscious stores, indicate more With light step, as if all the Earth Had little power, to restrain them Holding a rose in one hand, wand in In the other (Native son to a story mourning glory, morning glory) Winged angel, sign of the sun Upon his forehead, on his breath the square Triangle of the septenary Whither and whence we are going Radiant - the star of eight rays Surround by seven, lesser stars support Left knee on land and right foot water Waters of life Below in the measure that they Can receive her, Sephira The substance of the heavens: timeless Sequence of scenes, Sephira Binah Type of truth unveiled, Gloriousrrrr Undying beauty, pouring on the waters The measure of her priceless possession Truth is unveiled Direct as the antithesis, of the reflected Great and holy light Walled garden of the sensitive life Journeying home, son/sun of the Earth Self-knowing spirit it has dawned Seal of Nature, and that of art Illuminates our animal nature Types of which are Those who strive for liberation From an old age, old age and death Whole knowledge of the Self and action Refuge in me, realize full Just because of Nature’s command Nature of pakriti, be steadfast mind As if in a dream waking, wake up you can

about

"L'etiole Flamboyante' is an album length suite of music with a running time of 42:37, divided into four gapless track IDs for the listener's convenience. The intention is to guide the listener through the movements in sequence; the album will seamlessly loop back around to the top and allow for new perspectives.

The production of the music is another virtual instrument in this composition. Pay special attention for the dynamic shifts in volume, the expansion and contraction of the stereo field, the presence and absence of frequency ranges, the perspective shift from interior to exterior. Listen for the in-the-room nature of some of these sounds, particularly noted in the guitar solo and the creaky wahwah guitar in 'Noumenal Relation,' or the footswitch manipulations captured in 'Point Nemo'.

The lyrics are related to the symbolism of Tarot and the Gita, with the vocoded voice effect representing the positive depersonalizing aspects of deep, quiet space.
