The Storm​-​Blast

from Unknow by Eidon

about

Several years ago I dreamed to write music for Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". I wrote a first piece called "the Albatross" and then, as it often happens in life, I abandoned that dream.

Recently, I revived that project. And I composed this piece, "The Storm-Blast", for Latin percussions, double bass, cumbus, curaemo, kanuni, and... Orson Welles.

lyrics

THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER
by S. T. COLERIDGE

PART I

...

And now the STORM-BLAST came, and he
Was tyrannous and strong:
He struck with his o'ertaking wings,
And chased us south along.

With sloping masts and dipping prow,
As who pursued with yell and blow
Still treads the shadow of his foe,
And forward bends his head,
The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast,
And southward aye we fled.

"Eidon put ook uit mathrock, minimal music, jazz, etnische muziek... Hij zou perfect passen als support van Gogo Penguin, Battles of Dijf Sanders en kan op termijn misschien wel een plaats veroveren op zowel Rock Werchter als Gent Jazz of Couleur Café. Benieuwd hoe hij dit live brengt"
