Quis custodiet Ipsos custodes?
This is the album done to celebrate Paul Bower’s life and influence on the Sheffield music scene. All the artists on the album donated a 2 minute and 30 second track for a total of 23 tracks, of course. All proceeds go to the Sheffield Cat Shelter, so it’s for a good cause. I came up with the graphics, using Paul’s artwork, and have a track on the compilation. Adi Newton of Clock DVA is also on there.
Here’s to you, Paul.
Hypnos, Latin Somnus, Greco-Roman god of sleep. Hypnos was the son of Nyx (Night) and the twin brother of Thanatos (Death). In Greek myth he is variously described as living in the underworld or on the island of Lemnos ( according to Homer) or (according to Book XI of Ovid’s Metamorphoses) in a dark, musty cave in the land of the Cimmerians, through which flowed the waters of Lethe, the river of forgetfulness and oblivion. Hypnos lay on his soft couch, surrounded by his many sons, who were the bringers of dreams. Chief among them were Morpheus, who brought dreams of men; Icelus, who brought dreams of animals; and Phantasus, who brought dreams of inanimate things.
Many years ago. Obviously I took the photo for the 23 and the woman’s face, but I hadn’t noticed the second face – very Front 242 – on the right-hand side. I’m pretty sure it was a chance Pareidolia as it looks like the original poster had been ripped off. Very odd.
A new track is here for you to listen to. Dedicated to a close friend of mine, no longer with us.
The third DIY case for Eurorack in my studio. Hopefully this one will be the last for a while.
..and Max the cat.
Push harder, it might be a door.
Not this one though, waste of time, it’s locked.
