oneirophreniaThis, from T. S. Eliot's wonderful appreciation of Charles Baudelaire's life and work:
"[T]he possibility of damnation is so immense a relief in a world of electoral reform, plebiscites, sex reform and dress reform, that damnation itself is an immediate form of salvation...because it at last gives some significance to living."
That said, it looks like the whole trilogy of derek.cf.PEGRITZ EPs is yet another step closer to completion. Not much longer now.... and A special place prepared for you in Hell are both done, and the inserts and whatnot are at the printer's even as we speak (I should be getting them back in a few days), and I've more or less started work on the third one now. I was kind of struggling with a concept to work with--I mean, where do you go after you have 1) symbolically killed yourself in the first one; and 2) built a furnace of hatred to last a trillion years in the second? Don't ask me! I was originally going to do something based on Thomson's The City of Dreadful Night, but never really felt that right about doing so because, well, how does Thomson really relate to the subject at hand other than as an obvious source of depressing inspiration? So I just figured, ahhhhh, hell with it--
I'm going to call the third one Please notify next of kin. It's basically just going to be a mishmash of sounds left over from the previous two. Not that that won't be cool and creepy as the first two, but hey....

Date: 2004-01-19 09:07 am (UTC)Surprisingly enough, I *was* planning on doing stuff like that! I have all these weird vocal takes and samples and stuff that I just dug up when I was cleaning out my music folder the other day, and I really don't know what else to do with them...so I'm going to loop them backwards, time-stretch them, and just do all manner of crazy stuff with them so that they sound absolutely abysmal and terrifying. :)
