Who can forget the way the cinematographer solarized the goat at the end of Incubus, the William Shatner goth-horror vehicle in Esperanto?

WELL NOT ME, so of course I had to use goats. Baby goats, for the half. And California, in Esperanto, natch. But what would provide the base? What is “evil” music, so I could calculate half? Minor chords get a bad rap. So I added a D to -evil for devil, because at least he’s got a definable oeuvre. A large one, so I narrowed it down (using the D again as my guide) to his classic(al) theme, Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (sorry minors), which everyone knows is the devil’s tune. Since our number is #333, I only used half, but I paulstretched it. The rhythm section is a loop of sped-up Esperanto read by Google Translate, it says: “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” All screaming is goats.

Oh and #333 is of course a HEX code…

Hey All, NON-SUBMISSION. I used some samples from a few of this week’s tracks- schtean, pil, Hypoid and Vonna Wolf. I will take down if any of those cats object. Here is the poet talking about the poem. I could only use a short excerpt as it is a kinda long but cool poem.
he poem is concerned with one central idea, he says:

“…the transmigration of a single soul, doomed as though by accident from the first to all evil and no good, through many ages and forms, but clad always in the same type of fleshly beauty.”

Peace, Hugh

Some freeform acoustic guitar, chopped via an LFO swept granular and then played back, half of which is in EVIL REVERSE MODE.

A little half evil drone underneath as well.

Hey oto, Thanks so much. Here is one I did last year. It is not rapping so much but it is Poe. I would like to do The Raven sometime cause that poem really would go well with a beat.

CAMP is a new arts residency in the southern pyrenees, on the french side, run by Fuse Art Space from the UK: (https://www.campfr.com/). I just got back from there where I did a workshop with sound and installation artist eli keszler (http://www.elikeszler.com/), so I thought maybe you had done one of the other workshops. anyway, I now notice when people mention the pyrenees, truly spectacular countryside!
