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!

WAR NO MORE - VII: Drop Acid, Not Bombs

Drop acid, not bombs - not so much a piece of advise for any reader in particular or humanity in general, rather a heartfelt option given to consider by those individuals of our tribe deemed mature enough to make those infamous life-or-death-decisions, one out of countless other options to consider by those who give the order and those who follow the order to engage and execute fellow surface dwellers with the distant act of flipping a switch. In fact, a cross-cultural and transgenerational rite of passage for our global tribe as a whole seems in order. Of course, not without ubiquitous application of new product stickers, bearing words like:

SHAMANIC ADVISORY
EXPLICIT RE-IMPRINTING

If sharp sticks, knives, guns, bombs, drones and independently targeting particle beam phalanxes would solve problems, we would live in a world without problems as of yesterday, the latest. Modern derivatives of primitive behavior, repeated today, merely add to proven redundancy. Yet, it does not just take an acidophile to choose peace over war. And extended on another hand, a solid solution need not necessarily come in the form of dropping acid. Nevertheless, considering the following might provide some initial mental support:

choose peace or perish
it doesn't take a hippy
to share love and light


º

More War No More to follow
for as long as we choose to become
divided, opposed and prodded like cattle.

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.*
