Today's Subjects: ----------------- iamthemorning, Victorian song cycle [Karen Hester Subject: iamthemorning, Victorian song cycle Lovely new song 'Ghost of a Story' from iamthemorning - https://youtu.be/CjjX3993Sm4 Here's the blurb about the awesome St Petersburg duo's new album of chamber/progressive music. "The Bell was inspired by 19th century song cycles, a genre established by Schubert, and themes from Victorian England art and culture. It is divided into two parts, but each song is a story in its own right, all of them are fueled by human cruelty and pain caused by it. Cruelty and different ways that we cope with it and suffer from it is the central theme of the album. This album is multi-layered and is, in many ways, a journey inwards, taking us inside of a mind of a person suffering from abuse or neglect or open hostility of the society or a specific person. And even though aesthetically the album is based on themes taken from Victorian Englandbs art and culture, it is mainly a way to look at ourselves and modern society and realise that at its core, humankind isnbt making much progress in terms of emotional maturity." karen ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #2569 ****************************
