StarGazing

two Born for Bliss members, Frank Weyzig and Remco Helbers, decided to join forces again to produce new music. For their new project, the main source of inspiration was the Internet. Inspired by the many mysteries of our modern times; conspiracies, alien abductions, ufo encounters and other strange events, Frank and Remco searched the internet for unusual sounds and strange recordings. These elements give shape to the StarGazing project in a very peculiar way...

---------------------------------------------------------


The Project:

Let us explain a few words about our project...
While searching the Internet, we came across a spoken interview in which a woman claims to be abducted by aliens. This interview triggered the initial idea for the StarGazing project. The song (Stargazing) that was build around the audio recording of this interview, reflects the mood and state of mind of the woman, who is clearly emotionally affected by the experience...

Writing the music for the album, it became clear that all the songs were breathing this same strange emotion. Even the lyrics are being affected in the same way and drift seamlessly from dream to reality. After editing, mixing and placing the songs in a particular order, there appears to be an underlying storyline. The sory of a woman who seems to have lost her grip on reality. A story being told from the perspective of the woman's friend. But, is this woman really losing grip on reality after all?...

Anyway, after completing the album, to us it is absolutely clear that there is something out there, and we invite you to join us, to participate in this modern Quest for the Holy Grail.

So join us and let's go StarGazing...

---------------------------------------------------------


The Music:

The basic idea was to combine traditional songwriting with modern techniques as sampling and soundscaping. The drums, for instance, consist of chopped up live performances which were later edited and manipulated on the computer. On the album the different songs are connected with soundscapes composed on Chapman Stick using modern looping - techiques. This technique, based on long digital delays, also appears throughout the actual songs.

All the samplersounds were painstakingly crafted to fit every song and to blend with the live played instruments as acoustic guitar, loops and vocals. Although many of the songs seem to have an electronic basis, the main chord and melody instrument appears to be the acoustic guitar. This unusual approach gives the music it's unique characteristics.


enjoy,

lyrics

crackles

they told me
almost everything about you
they told me
everything there was to know

now face to face
I try to get inside your head
your mind is closed
for no one else to show

and will there be a chance
to face a miracle
and will there come a time
when you escape

both time and space so critical
when all the planets tumble
ad all the stars will crumble
now everything will turn into reverse

and I don’t believe
the wicked things they say
no I don’t believe a single word
when I look into your eyes
I dive into your mind
I still can see a wide and open space

no matter what they say
no matter what they do
if all these men in white coats told the truth

there wouldn’t be a chance to face miracle
there wouldn’t be a time for your escape

now all the planets tumble
ad all the stars will crumble
and all the universe has left behind
now all turns in reverse

get rid of al those crackles in your mind
