Some beautiful words by @andysmusicreviews.bsky.social about my song Ogre's Banquet
Hard to describe the strange, unearthly beauty of a song like Ogre's Banquet. A quiet existential crisis and a mourning for something you can't quite name. @aviengel.bsky.social knows what they're doing ❤️

My zayde, Chaim Ber Eng aka Bernard Engel. He got out of Poland in time, but many of his family members did not. He came to Montreal & eventually opened a tiny sandwich shop called "Benny's Light Lunch."

"They mutilate they torment each other
with silences with words
as if they had another
life to live

they do so
as if they had forgotten
that their bodies
are inclined to death
that the insides of men
easily break down"

before the heavy breath of hurricanes
tepid tearjerk sad refrains
before I knew what heartache was
when the red queen took off her gloves

I'm doing an art post every week on Patreon this year. (Accessible to all members, no paywall!)
Meta is evil but I don't know how to leave yet.
I really miss being able to share my art easily.

Drawing on handmade Tibetan paper, aka Himalayan Lokta paper. I love its varied texture and many imperfections - every sheet is unique.

what will you reap?
what will you see?
who will you be?
will you have wings?
will you have eyes?
will your blood run warm?
will you dwell in the dark?
or in the daylight?

A lifetime ago I did a BA majoring in film studies. In my last year I took a course on Hungarian cinema, & I remember sitting alone in the A/V library watching Werckmeister Harmonies, entranced. Somewhere I must have a notebook teeming with pages of notes & dialogue from this film.

RIP Béla Tarr.
