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!

Shadow of Time

soft watch at moment of first explosion - 1954

Shadow of Time

The past is merely a shadow that grows behind us with every choice that we make and every step that we take. It can never be turned around; only understood in a different way perhaps, when the light of a brand new day, a shining new era, directs it in another angle. Neither should it be turned around, as it would only cast its darkness on the path ahead, into the future.

Into the future is moving towards the source of light of that brand new day we tread with our steps - forward and onward, onward and upward. We have no choice but to embrace the past as it is and let it go as we will, to be ahead of the darkness and head on to the brightness. And bright they are, our future times - so mote it be.

MMXI - Year of the White Rabbit

click me

2011 - The year of the White Rabbit

As the Tiger turrns with a purr, releasing the clench of his claw, the Rabbit's paw comes prancing in. From February 3rd the time has come to run with the Hare and hunt with the Hounds, until the lunar year 4710 of the Chinese calendar commences, next January 22nd.

Kung Hei Fat Choy!

After a trenchant twelve months comes a year to dance again - less sweat, more fun. Here and now however, apart from all synchronized group activities, it is still time to work - no chance to pause or sleep or weep.

save your tears for the day
when our pain is far behind

The paw of the Rabbit may have a softer grip than the claw of the Tiger, yet do not underestimate the trampling power of its lagomorphic pound. A surprise stampede in full throttle may just kick everything upside down, causing a dust storm that would make the annual alkaloid clouds that mistify Black Rock City, seem like a mere cough of sterile powder. *

follow the White Rabbit,
tumble down the upward spiral

... knock knock

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 / D), Ballonnenfeest (NL), Burning Man (USA), Carnival (Varginha / Brazil), Club A (Sao Paulo / Brazil), Dance Valley (NL), Love & Magic (Oslo / Norway), Q-Base (D), Metsafestiwaal (Finland), Pi Club (Berlin / D), Senseblender Festival (B), Universo Paralello (Bahia / Brazil), VooV Experience (D), and many more in Belgium, Brazil, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, USA & all over The Netherlands.*
