King Of The Pack

King Of The Pack
© Surazeus
2024 03 15

I do not want those fawning worshippers,
he proclaims while striding down mirrored halls,
who flock around the beautiful masked stars,
for they are vampires hungry for your power
who misdirect their jealous energy,
and would turn quick to stab you in the back.

Halls of Fame are crowded with Jupiters,
he sneers while tapping photos on the wall,
who cruise around Gotham in fancy cars,
and fight for who will rule the Ivory Tower
to evade fate of double jeopardy
in vicious contest for King of the Pack.

Obsessed with glamor of the worshipped poet,
endowed with recognition of the crowd
as brilliant genius with clever insight
expressed through spells of convoluted verse,
these nascent Apollos seek only fame,
forgetting we endure Hell to reach Heaven.

Programmed by investors to play the prophet
as the tortured poet in tattered shroud
who wears fake wings of Icarus in flight,
nameless poets, ignorant of the curse
bestowed by Orpheus on the Word Game,
chase rainbow of glory cast by the Raven.

After descending to foul gloom of Hell
to rescue my Muse, bitten by the snake
of hunger for fame and glory of the seer,
I lead her back home to the World of Light
only to lose her from silent despair,
my heart glowing with strange Wisdom of Death.

Kneeling in dark woods by Rune-teeming well,
I gaze at mask of my face that seems fake
to discern ideal truth in spinning sphere
that formulates morals for wrong and right,
till I perceive the Real behind is glare,
so I regain my Muse with conscious breath.

Performing role as Priest to save the world
from glamorous illusions of false wealth,
I sing uncanny spells with eerie voice
while bearing lamp that guides my way with love
till crowds of lost souls follow my footsteps
and gather in haven I build with words.

Returning from Hell as the Cosmic Herald
with hard-won secret code for mental health,
I sing new paradigm that presents choice
as creative way to share treasure trove,
concealed with riddles on globalized maps,
so we can sing in harmony with birds.

Dark Matter Gears

Damn that was hard and long. While the idea of dark matter is hypothetical and speculative I came with the idea of painting it as gears supporting galaxies. The original picture in my head was way much darker. I feel like I mess with the background ...

The gears also refer to the voltaire's idea of an autonomous universe, tuned like a clock and left alone by god.

Editing Process :

To produce this collection, Goff blended many of his own original recordings with Ed’s source materials. Goff also modified Ed’s source materials in many ways. Simple digital effects altered source track sounds and/or speeds. Some source tracks were played on a keyboard directly through the inputs of a Korg Vocoder. On one piece, a single rhythmic source phrase was modified in a number of ways, then the various modified phrases were linked together into a chain. Some source tracks were converted to MIDI files, then the resulting tracks were altered to showcase a variety of MIDI sounds. Some edits were recorded onto a 4 track cassette tape and remixed manually into digital files.

Below the surface :
We talked a lot about the symbolic elements before Goff upgrade it.
About Salvador Salvandus concept you will discover yourself an answer if you translate the fifth track title.
It seems one big problem in this world is about on one side the self proclamated saviors, kind of people often thinking that there is only one solution : their solution... and on the other side the savior worshipers, kind of people often thinking it's more safe to be save by someone else than to do it themselves...
For me both are wrong. Of course, people with a little psychological skills know that the "hand seeking help", is more trying to drag down someone else to feel less low. Sameway that the "helping hand" is more trying to steal the benefit of the salvation. Obviously the savior can't save and the savior seeker can't be save.
Both being blinded because too much self centered. In this problem there is not only two subjects but three and this third one is the world itself, and the world, this wide network of living beings brings a real solution if you are able to listen it. You get the process and knows how to act toward to solve it till you are able to feel these connections and understand how to set your mind.
Hard to explain fully in few words roughly translate that's why I prefer let the music talk.

Above the surface :
It took me several listening before to get it, Salvador Salvandus is the kind of album you can often go back to and slowly become a familliar presence as well as that shadow behind you can be. For me it's an important step in rADio eNd study of how a kind of soul can be reveal thru the transformation of the sound material. That's why I'm so happy Goff share his editing process. And I hope you will be as joyfull than me that he brings this music to life.
