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."

Solidarity with everyone in the US protesting against ICE, against fascism.

"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"

tepid tearjerk sad refrains

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.
