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 Non-Weekly Goosebumper - 234.2012



The Non-Weekly Goosebumper - 234.2012

today: Transwave - "Land of Freedom"
from the 10yr anniversary dvd: Twisted

 
even though, after yet another government bit the dust,
the dutch situation only seems to increase in chaos,
many will agree on a growing sense of regained freedom

only time will tell if lessons are learned
in the land of eternal compromise

until then,
let us dance
let us fly

Winter Solstice Smoked Signals

Dionysos - god of intoxication

Winter Solstice Smoke Signals

warm ambidelic groovescapes, hypnotic neurorhythmatics
tripped out drum-n-spacebeats, subliminal mathemagics


mixed at dusk on Winter Solstice
Siberië, Friday December 23, 2011

Part 1, as above: Bruma Borealis

Bruma Borealis (lat.) = Winter Solstice of the Northern Hemisphere. In ancient Roman times, the Brumalia encompassed the Bacchian festivities to cerebralate the return of the Sun, around the time of the Winter Solstice. These provided a simplified, watered-down copy of the Greek rites to honor Dionysos, in the aeons before patriarchal supremacy and Roman oppression.
But whatever symbolic deification humanity may choose, if we care to clear our current vision, we will find our annual cerebralations still revolve around this celestial event in our common present. And cerebralate we will. So mote it seem.

01. Solar Fields - Cosmic Dessert
02. Solar Fields - Magic Eye
03. Saafi Bros - Supernatural
04. Saafi Bros - Under the Stars
05. Confusion - Instant Stability

The Non-Weekly Goosebumper - 08+04=12

today: Galaxy - "Baile Celestial"

Above and below separate once again. The local frequency resonates harmonically as it blends with Blenn's. Corpuscles of perception gather themselves from the atmospherical void between the branching of leaves. They seem to condensate out of nothing and precipitate from the tree to become me at its base. Triggering a reboot of my reality projector, the perceptional vector shifts back to inward direction - inhaling deeply yet slowly after a very long breath out. The return of I as night became day.

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.*
