My as of yet not finalized music album:
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mesothet—the name of my so far one-person music band—etymologically signifies a middle place, or intermediacy, to me reminiscent of the ancient dictum, “all things in moderation.” I’ve been wanting to put this album—When Fighting Monsters—together since a youngster. It intends to blend folk elements with industrial and rock, being all around alternative. Most of the lyrics and a fair sum of the basic melodies were developed by the time I was in my early twenties. Most of the recordings still await to be done.
Mentioning the album to publicly announce this one pet project which I occasionally work on—this in anticipation of its eventual, though currently indefinite, release date.
Thanks for checking it out!
Lyrics for “Interlude: Ravens”:
Prometheus’s ravens came; from their eyes fell tears; and, within each one, a hot blue flame.
Beneath, the burning pools of water moaned; from each pool arose shimmering mirrors; and, within each one, the reflection of abandoned truths chained to a stone.
In time, the vapors gave thunderous screams; from each cloud flew sky black wings; and, within each one, the nestled embryo of an unhatched dream.
Mesothet (aka Michael W Moiceanu)
