Messenger of Dionysos · Mused by Apollo

In ancient times, Satyr was the horned and horny messenger of Eleusinian forest god Dionysos. He mesmerized the youth of nearby villages with the musical magic of his flute and made them dance till broad daylight. In our common present, the spirit of Satyr inhabits the body of a human boy.

Searching for a new way to spread the vibe of the forest, by Dionysian decree, Satyr switched to SL and CDJ instruments, which fit the job quite nicely. Apart from those, he employs the tools Apollo chose: a blank screen and virtual ink, to jot down all he likes to think - hence this his satellite here, orbiting Earth's blogosphere!

What the Funk is Ambidelic?





You may have read this before, amongst and alongst my verbosities, as I have blogged it before, and will do so by stating the question, again, here and now:

What the funk is ambidelic?

am•bi•del•ic / ˈæmbiˈdɛlɪk /
The word conveys a term to describe chill out music originating between the ears of psytrance producers, a neologism distilled from the potent mixture of ambient and psychedelic trance, first coined around two decades ago by Raja Ram*. It appears amidst some of his signature verbaliaisons on the cover of a TIP Records' release - at least, so it should, if my long-term-memory didn't pick up on a figment of the Imagine Nation. Dug through all my albums, 12 inches and cds, but I (still) cannot find the one sought for ... as of yet.

Potato Potato Babylon Aficionado

As I seem to be one of the few, travelling the blogosphere, to still use this particular and peculiar verbal expression (instead of the more generally used term psybient), it could have an elucidative effect to browse through my ambidelic tags and catch a glimpse of this musical universe next door to yours, or scroll down and click play thrice to hear a set of ambidelically spiced mixes ..
... nothing mandatory, yet enjoyable perhaps.





* Besides playing flute for Quintessence, co-creating The Infinity Project and TIP Records, Raja Ram delivers one of two hemispheres of the huge ever-spinning spellbinding brain that operates from the center of Shpongleland, with Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen supplying the countersphere.

Mystery of the Yeti

You have heard of the Yeti? The abonamonamible snowman. That is of course not an animal or a prehuman being, that is originally one of the shamans gods. The real name is Banjankri, that means the shaman of the forest. So therefore nobody will ever find the Yeti in nature, because you have to go in trance and then you can find the Yeti easily.

The Banjankri the wild man or the wild shaman, the forest shaman, he wears a skin of a deer, of this deer, and that is supposedly a symbol of this mushroom.

The yeti loves to drink schnaps too, so he's like a real shaman and if you want to contact him, you have to put some alcoholic offerings in front of the forest.

He has one dreadlock, that's in honour of Shiva... I ask "then why don't you have dreadlocks all over?" He said "because, you know I am pupupupu ap tepepep un nenenenn umndibdibdib dsedsedse de ann ktsingngngng to have dreadlocks all over."

Nine O Nine





2015 / 9 / 09 - #909Day


A mere Moon since #808Day and the Sun rises to cerebralate another magic machine from Roland's (in)famous Transistor Rhythm family: TR-909. With increased flexibility and ease of use, Roland really kicked it up a notch from the level reached with 808, 909's three year older sibling. This gave TR-909 the perfect chance to add even more  ( but mostly its own ) influence to the evolution and future history of Music - a rapidly growing body of human expression, which tended to take an increasing amount of electronic turns.

Now, to finish up today's verbosity, it appears Time has arrived to let Music speak for its Self. After surfing through a myriad of choices, my aural cortex picks up on a strong spatiotemporal resonance as it homes in on Model 500 - Ocean to Ocean, a Juan Atkins Classic that served (and still does) as one of the pillars that ever so firmly supports the roof over the temple of my love for Techno.

Let's hear it for our modern shaman's drum, TR-909 - another music box that, once opened, added a significant change to the sound of Planet Earth.

The Art of Peace -

The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.

freakuently unanswered questions


? what is Satyr

! in ancient times, Satyr roamed the Eleusinian forests as the horned and horny messenger of Dionysos - the god of ritual intoxication - who dispatched him to mesmerize the youth of nearby villages with the musical magic of his flute, and made them dance till broad daylight.

? where is Satyr

! in our recent past, Satyr reincarnated in the concrete jungle of Amsterdam as a DJ. At age ten, he recorded his first mix, displaying his love for early hip hop and electro, and soon his tapes were in high demand. After the Second Summer Of Love, he got turned on by new dimensions of synthetic sound and ventured into the realms of ambient, acid-house, techno and trance music, never looking back ever since.

? does he still play flute

! the Panflute has become an artefact in captivity, held safe and sound in the archeological archive of the Vatican. Yet, since them high-n-mighty early 1990s, Satyr became increasingly skilled as a player of the SL & CDJ instruments, spinning various styles of musica eclectronica, embracing a wide range of the bpm spectrum with remarkable sparkle.

Notoriously difficult to pigeonhole yet sharply focused on and specialized in ambient, chillout, psytrance & deep atmospheric techno; entertaining events for 5 to 50.000 people, by serving his spicy melange of clean cuts and dirty grooves, mixing it down and grinding it up from raw to smooth.

A few memorable events ecstasized by Satyr:
Amsterdam Dance Event (NL), Atmosphere (Berlin), Ballonnenfeest (NL), Burning Man (USA), Club A (Sao Paulo), Dance Valley (NL), Love & Magic (Oslo), Metsafestiwaal (Finland), Pan-O-Rama Festival (La Gomera), The Pi Club (Berlin), Q-Base (Germany), Senseblender Festival (Belgium), Universo Paralello (Bahia / Brazil), VooV Experience (Germany), and many more in Belgium, Brazil, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, USA & all over The Netherlands.*
