Up from Earth's Centre through the Seventh Gate I rose, and on the Throne of Saturn sate, And many a Knot unravel'd by the Road; But not the Master-knot of Human Fate. Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say; Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday? And this first Summer month that brings the Rose Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobbad away. Whether at Naishapur or Banylon, Whether the Cup with sewwt or bitter run, The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop, The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one. We are no other than a moving row Of magic Shadow-shapes that come and go Round with the Sun-illumin'd Lantern held In Midnight by the Master of the Show And we, that now make merry in the Room They left, and Summer dresses in new bloom, Ourselves must we beneath the Couch of Earth Descend-ourselves to make a Couch-for whom? Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire, And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves, So late ermerg'd from, shall so soon expire. Oh Threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! One thing at least is certain--This Life flies; One thing is certain and the rest is Lies; The Flower that once has blown for ever dies. Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend, Before we too into Dust descend; Dust into Dust, and under Dust, to lie, Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and--sans End! Ah, take the Cash and let the Credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum! (from Omar Khayyâm - "Rubayat").

about

This album contains the remixed and remastered original soundtrack to a choreography with the same name, by Compagnie Thor. Starting point for this score was the eternal link between sex and death, between Eros and Thanatos, set against the backdrop of contemporary socio-ultural issues.

"Eros Délétère" was a commissioned project, and both the Bolero by Maurice Ravel, as well as The 7 Stages of Agony ("choc, dénégation, colère, dépression, marchandages, acceptation, décathexis"), as described by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, were the supposed key elements to be woven into the soundtrack, thus forming a thematic crescendo. This set off a pinball game of encountering musical references and developing a framework for feeding them into the different pieces for the 7 stages of the soundtrack.

There are ghosts of packed mid-eastern concert halls, of smokey nightclubs in the Mahgreb, where a belly dancer seduces her audience into a sensual light trance, there's a tango from the barrio, and painted soundscapes on dark canvasses, and a voyage to the inner depths of one's haunted soul, and there's longing for things that vaporize in our hands, for times that vanish, and desire, overwhelming desire.

The original CD came out in 1991(distributed by MSI France) but was removed from the market due to copyright issues with interpretations of the "Bolero", which now is public domain, but wasn't back then in certain countries. So the soundtrack as such left by the backdoor, straight into oblivion. A couple of promo copies survived and roamed the globe for years as rarities and eventually got to some interested ears. Therefor I am happy to be able to give this release a second opportunity, edited, remixed and remastered, for its digital release here on Bandcamp.
