Vita Ignes : Corpus Lignum - Winter Solstice 2011



in this time ov greatest darkness- when thee presence ov warmth and illumination feels so absent, and the fear ov an ever-increasing void feels so incredibly near; these gifts are offered towards those few seeking their magnificent splendors as perchance tokens ov rememberance for this difficult phase that we must pass through in our journeys towards thee hopefull re-emergence ov thee source ov that which fills thee void and decreases thee cold and darkness- if only for a short bit further along these cyclical paths which perchance spiral inward or away..

tremendous thankx to all who shared their wondrous sonorism and visual art, and extra special thankx to x_one for thee cover art!! please enjoy these cherished gifts kindly offered unto thee!!

be(a)st wishes!!

"Yim-Tzir is a band from the mysterious nation of Dzim-Gool. They know little English, and although they are said to speak German well, I myself do not, therefore communication has proved a challenge. At any rate, they declined to provide any information about themselves, stating that "music will speak for itself... or not". However, they did give me a photograph of an altar they had made. When asked what the spiritual signifigance was, they replied that "it didn't have any"."

with thoughts ov The Face of Another or perchance ov South Korean Director Kim Ki-duk 's film Time and it's themes ov trust when dealing with faces which may not be at all what we perceive them to be; mysterious artists Lacedon & Psychotigen [who ironicly may be rumored to have been forced to abandon his face-mask ov living prawns due to difficulties in procuring live prawns worthy ov sewing to his face..] provide a collaborative piece here which may have drawn influence from thee novel Nightwood by author Djuna Barnes!!
