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!

All As One And One As All





There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come crumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you


Tears For Fears
Everybody Wants To Rule The World

(Angela Moss' Karaoke Version - Mr. Robot)



... and of course, ...

Everybody should rule the World. Nobody excluded.
For if everybody would rule, we would have no rulers.
No more rulers, no more titular heads, visible or not.
Everybody, standing side by side, no more rat-race,
no more need to climb invisible ladders of success,
each and every one of us a free and sovereign ruler,
responsible for our own lives and interdependent
on everybody else, adaptable to each and every
possible function, like the stars of a galaxy,
like the cells of a body, a whole of wholes,
celebrating the unity of units,
all as one and one as all.


War No More.
Peace Or Perish.

De Bijlmer Opera



1992.10.04 - 2017.10.04
__________________________

Twenty-five years ago, on this very date,
El Al flight 1862 crashed into Earth
fifteen minutes after taking off
... and the Bijlmer burnt


The Bijlmerramp


a smoldering wound
leaving a deep scar
across the suburban
tissue of Amsterdam

an impact in history
of which the echoes
resound at the climax
of De Bijlmer Opera
by Jacques Bank


Today, I'd rather share this musical piece with you,
much rather than a repetition of documentaries,
news items and such, for it communicates more
than just the actual disaster.

I would and I do.


--with better audio, without video--


C'est toujours la vie qui a raison,
l'architecte qui a tort


in memory of all

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.*
