Xeroxed Castles

LOTV.XXVI
Music & Design: Xeroxed Castles
Artworks: Thomas Moran '(Old Castle and Trees)', circa 1880

All sounds performed by the artist on a Juno keyboard, by wiggling instrument cables, by tapping microphones, and by breathing softly into a microphone 

To all who live and die by the Bandcamp genre tag and the grimm aesthetic: the umbrella of dungeon synth has expanded and will continue to expand. You are welcome to stay (devil knows I love the traditional sound), though it is imperative that you stop being so addicted to drama. Frankly it's embarrassing. Accept reality or perish. 

Special thanks to Lily for releasing this project and what it stands for through her mp3 blog. Eternal hails, my sweet flower.

Hyperion father of heavenly light, shine your radiant brightness over the cosmos. Sculptor of the constellations, teach your wisdom through the starry sky. Great pillar holding the cosmos aloft, guide my fate according to the heavenly motions. Together with rosy-armed Eos, rich-tressed Selene, and tireless Helios, light my path and ward my steps. Watch from above over me and keep me from evil. Titan who set the motions of the seasons, teach me to honor the creation. Benefactor of all men, I give thee honour and everlasting fame

Thira (Humility)
Hazy recollections of shared history, the birth of catastrophic myth
The real Atlantis, before the bible
Humanity upended by Gaia’s misunderstood wrath

Johnstown (Casualties)
Expanse of industry into the heartland is the death of harmonious nature.
In the land that humans once called a natural home, greed’s palace lay.
Astride the river, built without care.
Steel was no match for gravel in the end.
Wall of water, lambs to the slaughter.
Friday, May 31, 1889.

Dreams of Doggerland (Inexorable Nature)
When long ago the lands were as one, there was no thought of exit.
Megafaunal eden above the waters, below the glaciers.
Behold the majesty of Irish elk, where now conger eels dwell
Coldwater kingdoms among the fossil bones
Who among us wouldn’t go back to wander these lost ancient lands?
