Hey that reminds me, I plugged your music project (http://www.callofcthulhu.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=73&st=15) on our forums the other day, but i couldn't find your URL anywhere. I suck.
http://nyarlathotep.iuma.com <-- somewhat old stuff, hopefully soon updated with new eerie freshness.
http://www.mp3.com/Nyarlathotep/ <-- REALLY old stuff.
http://www.hpl-laboratories.com/Nyarlathotep/helldemos.html <-- the newest of the new...so fresh and so clean! (And mostly unfinished, but complete enough to give everyone an idea of what we're up to these days.)
Currently NYARLATHOTEP is working on another soundtrack EP for Caitlin R. Kiernan's latest novel, _Low Red Moon_, and once we're finished with that we'll be putting some finishing touches on the new full-length album as well as remastering and re-recording a number of the tracks from our first album, _Ia!_, as well. Gonna be a bizzy-ass year for the Crawling Chaos!
btw, I think you will really, really like the Call of Cthulhu game (http://www.callofcthulhu.com)we're putting out. It's going to be so badass it hurts! It's a horror based RPG (ala Silent Hill 2). The screenshots on our website don't do it justice. :)
I've been waiting for that game to come out for over a year now. :) Hell, I knew about it when it was still in the design stage, thanks to inmostlight!
Now, see...what ya gotta do is this...tell those guys around the office that you know of the *perfect* people to do incidental music for the game. They work fast, they work well, and for gods' sake they're called NYARLATHOTEP: THe Crawling Chaos, so how, logically, can they *not* afford to hire this band to do the soundtrack?!
Excellent! Make sure to point out the helldemos.html one on hpl-laboratories.com, because that is our newest work and most indicative of the type of stuff we now do. Of course, we still do stuff like our old material, but we've started venturing into more ambient soundscapes and the like as well....
Hell, give them my email address -- pegritz@hpl-laboratories.com -- and tell them to get in contact with me if they even just want to use samples or something from our older work. We'll send them our CDs and they can check them out.
This is so awesome!!! Oh tentacle love... Someone needs to make an HPL based hentai - so much tentacle porn but none of those tentacles belong to Cthulhu (or any of this minions).
I have an old piece of Nyarlathotep slash fiction I wrote as a joke for a friend of mine...in which the various members of the Crawling Chaos all mutate into sex-crazed balls of feelers n' amorphous appendages during a concert and then proceed to molest the entire audience in a vast explosion of hallucinatory ichor and gland-squeezins.
Haha, thats awesome. We need anime tentacle porn though :)
Or at least I do.
Oh - I've decided that I'm -just- going to be doing my thesis on Lovecraft himself. 30/40 pages is not enough for a comparison of everything I want to say, so I might as well just say it about Lovecraft. I'm just afraid that there is already a lot of ciritcism about it :(
You know...somewhere out there in Japan...there *has* to be Lovecraft Mythos tentacle pr0n. There just HAS to be!
And as to the thesis...yeah, best to focus as *narrowly* as possible in this case, because there is so much critical work out there now concerning HPL's Mythos that you really need more than an average of 30-to-40 pages to be able to adequately handle even the simplest analysis of the Mythos.
Definitely count on your advisor having no *clue* who HPL is/was/will be--which is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, you will have to always remember that your thesis' audience will be unfamiliar with the author you're dealing with, so you can never *assume* they will know the material you are dealing with; but on the other hand, *because* they are unfamiliar with the material, you won't have to worry about running into an advisor who knows so much about your subject that he/she immediately wrests control of the document from you and turns it into an exercise in follow-the-leader.
And feel free to comment in this hyar journal as much as you like--I think I talk to more people on LiveJournal anymore than I do even by email!
Do you reall y think HPL so unknown, still, or not as marked that the topic will be that hard to assemble a committee for? I mean, even at Cal, you had folks....
