The Appearance of Sorrow

“symphonic,minimalist, ambient,strings”
In the spirit of Polish composer, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, a minimalist symphonic piece.

It is the appearance of sorrow…sorrow comes for a season
We wrestle with the reality
And understand without reason.

It passes in our notice, devoid of any form,
and holds deep the promise
of a peace beyond the storm.

The Appearance of Sorrow by Randy Maugans

Please listen with headphones or a better sound system. The nuances can be lost on computer speakers. This is a high fidelity file.
Played and mixed in Ableton Live 8.0.4, mastered with Steinberg Wavelab 5. Scoring and MIDI-Sibelius 6.

This is a longer piece in one movement. I wrote this over the winter, then began to try adding other elements to it…in the end I went with the arrangement heard here which is just strings and synth sub-harmonics.

“(Light In) Dark Spaces”

Graphic by Maugans

A musical interlude, however brief: I am working on original music that will (hopefully) find its way into future production efforts…perhaps some new media ventures…I am thinking multimedia videos.  This track is a mixdown of some rhythmic and atmospheric tracks I am currently exploring.

The theme is framed around:

John 1:5 “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

The track was sequenced in Ableton Live with Yamaha MIDI keyboard, the percussion tracks are sequenced from live drum performance with the M-Audio Trigger Finger pads, and recorded and mixed in Steinberg Wave Lab with full digital signal path. No humans were injured in the recording of this work.

Notes For: Magickal-Musickal Occult Rock-PDF

So, you may think it’s “only rock and roll”? The 1960′s/1970′s explosion of the “rock culture” was far from a novel little populist movement based on a counter-culture lifestyle. It was hatched in laboratories of media manipulators with a deep background in occult practices, scientific mind control, and exotic technology. It’s blue print dates back to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and has roots in ancient Egypt and the cult of

Rosicrucian Figura Divina

Dionysus. It’s practitioners are subjects of military-intelligence black operations designed to destabilize culture, warp sensibilities and senses, and create a new order of ancient mystery religion.

The names of the priests of rock culture are both dark and familiar: Francis Bacon, Aleister Crowley, Anton LeVey, Helena Blavastsy…all occult figureheads who actively promoted a “New World Order” with a religious system ordered around the Luciferian teachings of high Freemasonry. Their imprint is found inside the lyrics and musical stylings of most major rock artists from the Beatles to Frank Zappa.

The effects of these influences cannot be understated. They are the same cultural underpinnings which spawned Hitler’s rise to power and the ghastly holocausts of World War II. They are the dark force behind ritual murders, child pornography, and sadistic practices found in voodo, santria, and Molech sacrifice. Their antecedent is mystical Kabballah  and the chakra teachings of Hinduism. These demonic spiritual influences invoke violence, sexual perversion, and madness; and are found not just in primitive cultures, but in the corridors of power of major government agencies around the globe.
