The second number in my “Trilogy of Creation” , Hen Kai Pan (“One And All”) is an instrumental piece about Egyptian cosmogony. The arrangement features heavy instruments that portray the birth of Amun Ra from the dark expanse of mother Nun. Amun then sits on the river shore, weeping and shedding tears that give birth to humankind.
Spoken parts: Amun, the one standing in darkness, unseen and unfathomed “Uplifted is Maat in front of you, She gives both her hands around you” (fragment from the Ritual to the god Amun). Amun thus wept. Emanations from His body…the creation of human souls. They came into being…the spawn of His tears.
Some update about my upcoming Quantum Arkanum EP: the vocals for track #2 are now recorded. The song is heavy on symbolism and gnostic traditions, consistently with the EP’s title.
If Event Horizon https://g.co/kgs/4AB8BA is my Yang, progressive and rather bright sounding, Quantum Arkanum is my Yin, featuring dark atmospheres based on doom metal arrangements. Still quite progressive anyway, but with a different flavour.
Tracks #1 and #3 are going to be instrumental, while #2 features vocal parts and lyrics on Egyptian cosmogony and occultism. A mix of English and Ancient Greek.
Forecast for the release date: end of June/mid July. Stay tuned!
