Iceland's @Malneirophrenia Performs a swoon of a Twin Peaks Medley (live Badalamenti cover)

Darlings, this group of young men from Iceland are able to perform in tuxedos, space suits or hoodies. If I were not residing on 433Eros, I certainly would have them over for tea and acid. As it were, I dont recall being this thrilled about a musical project in a long time. Never enough atonality and Vienna waltzes indeed! Malneirophrenia itches a scratch.That's worth its weight in gold- even in a low gravity environment.

The Goat Man Original Soundtrack! #Samhain

I just HATE the Goat Man, but I love this original score from the 1974 horror movie! It is filled with James Bond style guitar work, strings, organ and shimmering vibes (get your minds out of the gutter) and it's as if played under water; terrifying but soothing at the same time... Have no fears, you know what they say, my dears:
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Who (Back) on Earth is Making Those Creepy Sounds?

Some Background

Some of you who are familiar with the serialized production included in the the broadcasts of "Rocket Ships and Rocket Chairs", Children of the Stones, might well have notice just how freaking CREEPY the backing music is. The wailing of souls, the demonic (some would say) crescendos and the eerie implication that you are always being watched by unknown spirits of great malevolence  is effective to say the least and, perhaps, in my humble opinion, effective enough to be a contributing factor that lead to this children's series being given a 12 certificate rating by the British Board of Film Classification.
As it were, the soundtrack to the series was based on contemporary interpretations/permutations of megalithic ritual chant, composed by Sidney Sager (1917-2002) and performed by the Ambrosian Singers, a project of the well lauded and highly respected  English Conductor, John McCarthy (1919-2009).
Founded in 1951, the Ambrosian Singers have a large discography available for listening, have recorded with and for a who is who of performers and composers including Neil Diamond, Julie Andrews, Henry Mancini (gasp!) and Grace Jones and have been part of a number of film scores (e.g. Krull and Chariots of Fire).
I feel it now necessary to issue a caveat:  when I hear the words "megalithic ritual chant", my interest is piqued.....

Delving Deeper

The Children of the Stones was filmed in Avebury, Wiltshire, an English village that lies at the center of an ancient circle of megalithic standing  stones.  There have long been theories and speculation presented by the scientific and fringe scientific(which members of the crew if this space station represent) communities about the practical function of these structures. To this particular long haired child of the 70's, this is historic mystery at its finest, rivaled only by the Transylvania episode of the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew television show, which featured Robbie Rist dressed as a vampire and fronting a rock and roll(?) band... but we don't want to get sidetracked by that groovy debacle do we?

Yes, Earth-lubbers, it's Oliver from The Brady Bunch

Current science has only now progressed to the the point where the link between science and ancient ritual is not just accepted, but explored.

A Brief History of Guitar's Big Bang Part 2

Mr Richard Daniels recently visited 433 Eros and discussed the more esoteric, evolutionary pivot points of the guitar. It was a sweeping review of the instrument that eschews the lampooning of popular artists of our past and present in favor of examining the "Big Bang" of the instrument's development. This interaction has been transcribed and will be made available in several parts over the course of the weeks to come. Put down the Zep records and dial up the guitar background radiation detector! We continue the discussion of musical theory and how it applies to the evolution of the guitar. Richard Daniels is a frequent visitor to 0433Eros. We always enjoy our time together watching the universe slide by.

Q: So... what's is the Great Staff's place relative to contemporary popular music?
A: The Great Staff became the orchestra’s universal method… I see that… Now see that rockers have an instrument that was first evolved in that world, but now its primary reading staff is no longer needed for the new art. Blues guitar went thru the bottom of classical guitar, and once down there humans found a new, uninhibited world that no one view controlled… The artist approached the non-acoustic instrument differently- it was way louder, way more sensitive, and sustained. Taken together, these new innovative changes made a big difference in the history of how it worked out… The guitar was perfect for invention... so the history shows...
Q: So... the guitar became an instrument used to expand theoretical boundaries, or, perhaps more accurately to expand musical boundaries that were before limited by classical theory?

@_Glitchfield Weaves a Tale Eons in the Making on @_Romeda Release "Sentinel Black" EP

Darlings, you may recall some of my vices. Included are silk stockings, stilettos (both shoes and the sharp objects), string sections and stories. Oh yes, the good story. As humanity, we often know not what we do and, even more often than not, why we are doing it. This brings me to the story of "Sentinel Black" an EP released by Marshside auralnaut Glitchfield Plaines. Yes, lovers, there is glitch, but there is also much pitch -pitch BLACK that is!
As per the artist:
"The EP has a concept, almost like a mini sci-fi soundtrack.
Hence it is a little dark & unsettling in places. Nine refers to the once planet Pluto. Sentinel Black is the 'entity' that is hidden by it that has been affecting humans for years, influencing our thoughts to be evil."
This is one oddly put together signal, darlings. 'Sentinel Black' works to span several genres and, frankly,  does so in a very palatable fashion. It is ambient, has melodic elements and is backed by excellently conceived organic rhythms.
There's a Whovian overtone to the synths in the opener, 'Nine' that I find to be refreshing in the sense that it is not trying to be something else -it just is what it is: the overture to the tale about an evil (oh that WORD) entity known as Sentinel Black.
'Nine' ambles on as shepherd to a horse cart then dissolves into the murky depths of dark ambiance that is 'Beneath' which is an echoing opus that does, indeed, feel menacing, but not in the evil sense of menace. 'Beneath' is, simply put, alien and filled with machinery and lacks humanity. Is this what lies beneath? Is the waning light of the Plutonian sun not enough to deter the fears that well up in us as our all too fragile psyches and hands extend to the edges of our solar system? Perhaps this is why 'Bridgewater' feels like a sun soaked wedding. It is triumphant, but at 55 seconds, only briefly: Exeunt rays of sun, enter 'Sentinel' in all of its industrial, organic and metallic glory.
Filled with bits of streaming data, 'Sentinel' conveys a marching ant like quality as it beams its signal of corruption to the people of Earth. It looms. Yes, dear, it looms like a dagger moon.
'Altered' is a stunning conclusion to the tale. It bubbles. It is alien alchemy, turning space dust and ice into avatars of corruption. 'Altered' is ambitious, filled with counter beats and bleeps. I find that this ambition is rewarded.
Evil, dark and unsettling? Marry me, love.

Greetings. This broadcast  boots up with a bang -a wink and a nod to those who grew up with "unacceptable" load times. The purpose of these broadcasts is to encourage exploration on many levels. We at 433Eros adhere to the a notion that things do not have to sound like the Beatles to be great. Just because a signal may be unfamiliar or oddly put together doesn't mean that it is not groovable. We find grooves that are out of this world and poppy grooves that stick to one like veritable gorilla glue -or duct tape. As always we thank everyone for their hard work in creating the content and hope that we see you all soon on board.

Q: Richard, what happens to all student musicians when they try?
A: The way I see it, music starts simple, then begins to fill out to the full hand of a science, and a pretty complex, but understandable, bigger “user” picture. The problem is right there: Once they got the thing nailed down, they had to come up with a system to translate music graphs to the performer and the student… that is where things got too complex to understand, and the student is swamped in too many number schemes… So I figured it out, but it is not easy to explain even though I know it!!! Q: Why do rock musicians just want to do away with all the papers and charts? Why is music so hard to learn?

 A: The student must learn the basics with interest. Here is what happened… Humans eventually figured out the octave and the major chord from the singing string. When they went to try to design a vehicle in the material world to vibrate to the string’s frequencies, well, they came up with their own round of problems concerning that. But once they got the real world whipped, by just simply putting seven octaves of C major across the face of the piano… a string for each note. Equal Tempered.
Q: Then what? A goal had been reached, but then what?

@Hawklowhills (Hawk of the Low Hills) Goes There and Gets DOWN

In an atmosphere that is oft cluttered with low orbit space junk it is hard to say what tantalizing signals one may come across or even when, or if you might cross paths.
Let's face it, friends, some signals float, some whir and whine, some signals dissipate into distorted messes, some are incinerated for re purposing and some just groove. On their "Fears" E.P. Hawk of the Low Hills, a 3 piece outfit based around the North West Coast of the UK, near Liverpool, is at once accomplished, groovy, celestial and sweeping. Not only do these fellows go out there, but they do, indeed,  also just plain old get down.
If I were to write the the music for my yet to be produced imaginary film "Space Pimp" surely, Fears, the opening track, would be played by the band that followed the protagonist as he traipses through the desolate landscape of a Martian city collecting his grift from his ladies. Further, I dig the string filled, trip hop-esque languidity of PPR, most assuredly appreciate the poly rhythmic homage to Brubeck in New Jazz Language and love the break beat funk spiced with MF Doom style vocal samples of the closing track, Papers.

'WHAT!?' Say you? Yeah, baby, Hawk of the Low Hills goes there... and gets DOWN.
