about

The Garden of Earthly Delights vol2 is an album of Berlin School EM with my own Gothic twist. Nearly two hours of music for your pleasure, or should I say, "delight". Once again, a special thanks to Steve on the Isle of Wight for telling me he had music that I thought was long since lost. Well, here it is, parts 3-4 of this project. I repeat here some of the notes I posted on Vol 1...The main title comes from a work by the artist Heironymous Bosch, a strange person, who many say belonged to an even stranger Christian cult. You can look at his work on line especially the tryptic of that name. Be warned, it isn't comfortable viewing. It is a cynical and darkly humorous work and some of the scenes some might find offensive. The Rock band, Deep Purple used the depictions of Hell on one of their early albums. Well, so much for the source of the inspiration. There was something otherworldly about it that appealed to me and the ideas I had at the time, and which resurfaced in the Tenebrae project I was now working on. The word Tenebrae, which means "darkness" actually refers to the period of darkness before the resurrection of Christ from the tomb and forms part of the liturgy of the Catholic church. I have used it as a name for the city around which I have created a storyline. The main character in the story, D.I. Zachariah Winters, who has no memory of how he came to be in this city of Tenebrae, has an encounter "apparition" with an evil being who has a habit of taking the shape of a "black sword". This brings about a process of remembering, and also an awakening to the fact that Tenebrae is not what it seems!
