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!

Our Plutonic Love Affair


Pluto, 2015/07/13 - click for details

Paving new paths through Space

Today, on 2015's Quatorze Juillet, we arrive at Pluto. Following the footsteps of Pioneer and Voyager, yet paving its own path through the Solar System, our deep space delegate New Horizons will knock on Pluto's door, in less than 5 hours. 

A near nine and a half years ago, humanity's interplanetary emissary took flight. Now, a mere fifth of a day rest between Pluto and us. How Time did fly along. Broadcasting our blooming Plutonic relationship may eclipse the current struggle with plutocratic affairs, down on Earth. Perhaps it will even highlight the futility of all territorial squabbling on our pale blue dot. Nevertheless, after Pluto, New Horizons zooms off even further into the torus-shaped Kuiper belt - one of the most mysterious areas of the solar system, yet. Fascinating times, a mere cosmic fingertouch away.

For more details and exact dimensions, visit New Horizons online.

A few words from the friendly folks at NASA,
sharing their Plutonic Love with the rest of us:


And of course,
tune in to NASA TV

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.*
