Indeed! Good to see you, Laura. Have a blessed day! Thomas will be back after he attends to something.

[@SophiaMusik]

Thank you Laura !

[@anacouper]

Beautiful ❤ as always. That voice!

[@DeepsongProductions]

Ikr... she sings like an angel!

[@MarciaStockton]

Yes. I'm amazed at some of the vocalists Thomas knows, and the things he asks them to sing! I know for sure that experience has expanded more than a few singers' repertoire of vocal and improvisational technique. As you know Thomas is away for a little while and he asked me to reply to comments on his behalf. Take care!

[@wesjames2390]

Lovely sound. When do we get to hear the songs from the attic?

[@MarciaStockton]

Oh Wes. Hahaha. Isn't the attic where all songs actually originate?

[@SophiaMusik]

I assumed you were not moving out till January 1st, since you rented the attic till that time. Let me know. You have been a good tenant...

[@DeepsongProductions]

You and Michael are a musical tour de force... Lovely way to enjoy my morning ☕️!

[@MarciaStockton]

Yes they are John! Thanks for dropping by. Thomas asked me to monitor the channel while he is away.

[@SophiaMusik]

Thanks much John! Yes, Michael is a joy to work with. When we jam, it just flows....

[@DeepsongProductions]

@@SophiaMusik Can't wait to hear more from you guys!

I will make sure Michael and Thomas hear your comment. Hey, you're a violinist aren't you! One of these days you will have to play for us... )

[@SophiaMusik]

Thank you brother. Good to see you here. How is life? I hear you are working on Bach intensively...Nice !

[@orion3874]

This music has me tingling all over. . .

[@ZombieSkullCracker]

Yes, seek the center pillar. you are only 7 stars away 😇

[@SophiaMusik]

Shocking ...😆

[@ZombieSkullCracker]

The duduk is a double reed instrument with ancient origins, having existed since at least the fifth century, while there are Armenian scholars who believe it existed more than 1,500 years before that. Maybe a duck decoy could have had a double meaning too.

[@orion3874]

Yes, it's quite a mysterious instrument. Suggest checking out a YT vid from 2019 by sadowick called Interesting Finds : Cicada 3301 - Instar Emergence [761.mp3] They identified the instrument as a Duduk, once again pointing to Thomas. But he only says stuff like "fellowship of creatives" and that he only did a little music and maybe offered some ideas, and he adds he does not code at all. It may be more than modesty: I think he is telling it like it is. Nice post bro. I had no idea that instrument goes back to the Bronze Age.

[@MarciaStockton]

@@orion3874 I wonder if there could be some relationship with Thomas asking me to use ascending bassoon for certain melodies in the arrangements we've done. I always got the feeling these particular lines might mark something significant, whether it was a timestamp in the music or perhaps a dyadic combination having coded meaning, or something else unknown to me. I understand music very well, but not puzzles or codes. Did you see where I marked a specific area in the previous Cicada Basement Tapes release with graphics to point out that passage was some kind of a code? My ear tells me when it's a code, but not what it means.

[@ZombieSkullCracker]

@@orion3874 Merci, did you find your healing angel in the shire? Scottish bag pipes have an interesting history as well. Lots of M. Y. Stery going on bag pipes with clan kilts distinct tartan pattern, woven into the fabric of the kilt, representing a unique identity and heritage.

[@orion3874]

@@ZombieSkullCracker How kind of you to remember! I believe there are angels all about us, although mainly unseen with physical eyes. Heavenly messengers, and messages, abound, if we open our hearts and become receptive. I truly believe the right music helps that happen. I listen to Thomas's music all the time and it gives me such peace and comfort!

[@MarciaStockton]

@@orion3874 You must be alluding to Thomas's song "From Scotland, a whisper" from about 9 months ago. I remember it contained a healing prophecy.

[@user-ey5kw6cs3z]

Well, these are some interesting updates and discussion. But you guys are not the first ones to recognize the Duduk in 761. But wait,there's more ! On the IRCs, Thomas was pointing out that Tool's song Lateralus" is misspelled on the CD case as "Lateralis. Then he pointed out some Bach 1033 song as not being by Bach. I still think Thomas and Michael did the music and more shit too, but Iona was the Mistress of. the Cicada night,with all the witchy vibes. Tool recorded Lateralus in North Hollywood. Any ties to Thomas in North Hollywood in the 90s?

[@SophiaMusik]

I lived there in the 80s. All we did was music and ideas. Iona was the guide.

[@Alexandre-h9l8c]

These days,anyone with a laptop and a mic can make pro-level tracks in their kitchen.But this stuff is from 2014-2016.I am assuming you have digital records on the material you and Michael did?

[@MarciaStockton]

That is false. Having technology does not give someone the creativity and musical sensibility that one hears in these wonderful works. You aren't very musically gifted, are you. If you can't tell the difference.

[@MarciaStockton]

They are entitled to their privacy. After all, isn't privacy one of Cicada's three pillars? They will release what they want to release, when they want to release it, for reasons that nobody but them needs to understand at this time. I am sure many will be delighted when that eventually happens!
