Ae-Bine-MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN!!

If you have read H.P.Lovecraft's "Music of Erich Zann", you
must know what I'm talking about!

Louder and louder, wilder and wilder, mounted the
shrieking and whining of that desperate viol. The player was
dripping with an uncanny perspiration and twisted like a
monkey, always looking frantically at the curtained
window.
[...] At this juncture the shutter began to
rattle in a howling night wind which had sprung up outside
as if in answer to the mad playing within. Zann’s
screaming viol now outdid itself emitting sounds I had never
thought a viol could emit. The shutter rattled more loudly,
unfastened, and commenced slamming against the window. Then
the glass broke shiveringly under the persistent impacts,
and the chill wind rushed in, making the candles sputter and
rustling the sheets of paper on the table where Zann had
begun to write out his horrible secret. I looked at Zann,
and saw that he was past conscious observation. His blue
eyes were bulging, glassy and sightless, and the frantic
playing had become a blind, mechanical, unrecognizable orgy
that no pen could even suggest.
[...] Then I
remembered my old wish to gaze from this window, the only
window in the Rue d’Auseil from which one might see
the slope beyond the wall, and the city outspread beneath.
It was very dark, but the city’s lights always burned,
and I expected to see them there amidst the rain and wind.
Yet when I looked from that highest of all gable windows,
looked while the candles sputtered and the insane viol
howled with the night-wind, I saw no city spread below, and
no friendly lights gleamed from remembered streets, but only
the blackness of space illimitable; unimagined space alive
with motion and music, and having no semblance of anything
on earth. And as I stood there looking in terror, the wind
blew out both the candles in that ancient peaked garret,
leaving me in savage and impenetrable darkness with chaos
and pandemonium before me, and the demon madness of that
night-baying viol behind me.

What I mean is the emotional aspect of the track, the gaping
black abyss emitting monstrous music

YES OK I have read this story. It's not one of Lovecraft's
best by any means, but it's nice enough.

I hate ae so have never heard this 'bine' of which you
speak.

Don't get despondent cos we global bitches can't relate to
your shit. But respect bruv, I dig your selection, but if AE
run parallel to any literary shit surely it must be W S
Burroughs style stream of concsiousness abstractions???????

What a bunch of assholes - I think this text describes
perfectly the track. I agree with CDW/skyf. Lovecraft must
be one of the few writers that can put words on the music of
Ae. Only him can describe what cannot be described...
The best topic of the week IMO.
