Lighea’s Lovers – ruffmix

Lighea’s Lovers is a song from the Sonic Theatre work ‘DIVE’.

The lyrics are by Richard Sanger, and the ‘Sailors Chorus’ is an adaptation by Nik from Richard’s original text.

The scene is a seedy bar, and the main character is the mermaid in the guise of a waitress who, while apparently reciting the tabs of patrons, is in fact reciting the names of her former lovers (famous sea explorers).

This music was recorded at the ArrayMusic studio in Toronto, Oct, 2013.
The Sailor’s Chorus was recorded in Davy Jones’ Locker, Dec, 2013.

The Casa Dentata

There was once a village where no one ever fought.
Conflict was outlawed.

When angry the villagers counted to 10,
or 20,
or 30,
or as long as it took,
for their anger to pass.

In this silent village
the silent children roamed
with sticks and stones,
switch, switch,
swack, swack,
annhilating every living thing in their paths…
