Messenger of Dionysos · Mused by Apollo

In ancient times, Satyr was the horned and horny messenger of Eleusinian forest god Dionysos. He mesmerized the youth of nearby villages with the musical magic of his flute and made them dance till broad daylight. In our common present, the spirit of Satyr inhabits the body of a human boy.

Searching for a new way to spread the vibe of the forest, by Dionysian decree, Satyr switched to SL and CDJ instruments, which fit the job quite nicely. Apart from those, he employs the tools Apollo chose: a blank screen and virtual ink, to jot down all he likes to think - hence this his satellite here, orbiting Earth's blogosphere!

... and Bob's our Uncle - node 23.001: The New Inquisition

"... it was only a coincidence it was only a coincidence it was only a coincidence - the mantra of fundamentalist materialism, which works just like an ordinary Hindu mantra: it quiets anxieties, it stills the restless mind, and eventually it stops thought entirely." - RAW

Nowadays, when notified about renewing a particular piece of personally permissive paperwork, the government reminds us to "please keep your hands tidy and clean, as fingerprints will be taken." Trying hard not to feel guilty-until-proven-innocent, one cannot quite escape the urge to look in and cry out, in disbelief rather than despair:
"What the flying fungus? Goddess please, bear with me!"

It started off with the incorporation of an rfid-tracking-device, which became combined with facial and iris recognition. Next up: DNA-samples at work? A short stop at the Piss Police to drop a sample before shopping? Beyond a distant horizon, Kafka and Orwell pull up their frowns in astonishment and laugh out loud in sardonic ridicule.

To repeat another tranquilizing mantra: if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to worry about. Right. Carry on, move along, nothing to see here. At such moments it seems best to keep it [+] and share a good laugh about it with Robert Anton Wilson, our Uncle Bob.

freakuently unanswered questions


? what is Satyr

! in ancient times, Satyr roamed the Eleusinian forests as the horned and horny messenger of Dionysos - the god of ritual intoxication - who dispatched him to mesmerize the youth of nearby villages with the musical magic of his flute, and made them dance till broad daylight.

? where is Satyr

! in our recent past, Satyr reincarnated in the concrete jungle of Amsterdam as a DJ. At age ten, he recorded his first mix, displaying his love for early hip hop and electro, and soon his tapes were in high demand. After the Second Summer Of Love, he got turned on by new dimensions of synthetic sound and ventured into the realms of ambient, acid-house, techno and trance music, never looking back ever since.

? does he still play flute

! the Panflute has become an artefact in captivity, held safe and sound in the archeological archive of the Vatican. Yet, since them high-n-mighty early 1990s, Satyr became increasingly skilled as a player of the SL & CDJ instruments, spinning various styles of musica eclectronica, embracing a wide range of the bpm spectrum with remarkable sparkle.

Notoriously difficult to pigeonhole yet sharply focused on and specialized in ambient, chillout, psytrance & deep atmospheric techno; entertaining events for 5 to 50.000 people, by serving his spicy melange of clean cuts and dirty grooves, mixing it down and grinding it up from raw to smooth.

A few memorable events ecstasized by Satyr:
Amsterdam Dance Event (NL), Atmosphere (Berlin), Ballonnenfeest (NL), Burning Man (USA), Club A (Sao Paulo), Dance Valley (NL), Love & Magic (Oslo), Metsafestiwaal (Finland), Pan-O-Rama Festival (La Gomera), The Pi Club (Berlin), Q-Base (Germany), Senseblender Festival (Belgium), Universo Paralello (Bahia / Brazil), VooV Experience (Germany), and many more in Belgium, Brazil, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, USA & all over The Netherlands.*
