Cyanopia: Female Vocalist Wanted

CraigsList posting: http://burlington.craigslist.org/crg/2785688044.html

   A new Rutland-based band Cyanopia is looking for a female lead singer. Blend of genres may include Goth Rock, Shoegaze, Black Metal, Post-Black Metal, Death Rock, and Gothic Metal. Lead vocals should be clean, however — no growling abilities required. Influences should include Joy Division, Chelsea Wolfe, Amber Asylum, Anne Marie Hurst, Robyn Bright, and The Gathering.

   This is a part-time but serious band. We are looking for someone fun to work with, has an artistic mindset, is passionate, dedicated, flexible, and is not pretentious. Inquiries should begin with an email about yourself. The next step will be vocal samples and a public meet-up over coffee.

Interested? Drop me a line at: gigs-tcfma-2785688044@craigslist.org

She Is Hidden

A sepian moon rises just over the blackened ridgeline… As the sounds of a gothic romance flutter through my ears and a chilled night air fills my lungs, I am reminded of what we felt like many years ago. With all things, time makes history a prisoner never to be released, but I can still feel the echoes in my heart. You, a blood soaked measuring stick, are revered in places none may tread.

Another old piece, as it was written. This is titled Quickening and is companion to Awakening.

Of Frost And Ardor

   With frost hanging in the air and inclement winter weather moving into the valley, I post yet another old piece, mildly revised and cleaned up, for the reading pleasure of any who will it. This is titled Of Frost And Ardor and sums a feeling still relevant in this period.

Transformation

   Transformation is a piece I wrote in the winter of 2008/2009 on the cusp of a major change in my life, both one of an outside cause and one very intense, internal shift. It was originally ordered as three pieces each consisting of six cantos, or verses, but I have rearranged it to be one piece of eighteen cantos.

Frau Vetr

A brief fairytale of ice, love, and immortality.

uh huh

   I am sitting in my living room, unlit Christmas tree beside me, with a raspberry smoothie and voice-killing sore throat, listening to :wumpscut: while reading about the life and death of Mr. Christopher Hitchens.

“The four most over-rated things in life are champagne, lobster, anal sex and picnics.”

Winter Reading, Listening, and Viewing

   The snow begins to blanket the ground, the solstice approaches, the Jul’s days of darkness draw near, the celebrations of light spark, people feel festive and the air feels chilled. It is time for Winter; it is Winter time. What shall I read, listen to, and watch?
