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!

The Year of the Ox

year of the ox

As of January 26, 2009 until February 14, 2010, we live

symbolizing prosperity through fortitude, good fortune
through hard work, so: sleeves up, boots off and dance!

The fifteen days new year cerebralations will last
till Lantern Festival on February 9, so in case there are
no fireworks available, here are three mixes of mine,
freshly uploaded, ready to spark the skies with thunder:

A Divine Dance around the Sun

turning the wheel inside another wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside another wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside another wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside another wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside another wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside another wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside another wheel inside a larger wheel inside a wheel inside ...

carelessly, a planet revolves
turning but a small wheel
inside a larger

sing dance laugh and love
cry fight scream and hate

the annual celebration
of the return of the sun
is hung over the human mood

click here to downlad 'around the day in an hour'

new shadows cast fresh darkness
across the solar satellite's surface
dousing the faint lights of its history

fractal geometry reiterates
space and time like a hologram
from which mankind fails to escape

staring at a radiant horizon
ignoring to evolve in the present
the past will eternally pervade the future


yet as awareness awakens
change, the universal constant
continues to connect consciousness

all and ever, here and now
create sustain destroy recycle
nurture nature, expand the divine mind

live love learn let go
dance from birth to death

let's go

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.*
