Um…I think I’d go back to the fifties when life was much more simple. Not too many cars on the road, much less crime, far less development, rolling green fields. I also think that people possibly appreciated life that bit more as war was over and a new beginning was sought. I think I’d go for a summer picnic in the English countryside with a basket full of good things such as ginger beer, sandwiches and fresh strawberries.You know kinda ‘Enid Blyton’ style life ;)

I miss you as dead things are missed:
first, the exquisite paroxysm, soothed by howls into:
a dull, aching prolongation, like the quavering caress of the bow on a violin string.
a sudden gasp of breath that freezes a room into stillness, useless icicles of tears lamenting onto the stained carpet.
with the certitude that what has been, will never again be
Gnossienne No. 1, Rafael Anton Irisarri & Goldmund
Goldmund and Rafael Anton Irisarri recorded this version of Erik Satie’s “Gnossienne No. 1″ …back in 2009. It was later included on the wonderful compilation ‘Erik Satie et les nouveaux jeunes‘.
Keith (aka Goldmund/Helios) played the piano whilst Rafael worked on the electronic arrangements and also produced the track. The intent was to give the composition a “ghost-like” quality, as if the spirit of Erik Satie was playing the melody in a very paced manner at an abandoned, old Château.
