lyrics

Guillaume, prends ton tambourin,
Toi, prends ta flûte, Robin;
Au son de ces instruments,
Turelurelu, patapatapan,
Au son de ces instruments,
Je dirai Noël gaîment.

Mare bring your rounded drum,
With your long flute robin come,
When we hear them play as one,
Turelurelu, patapatapan,
When we hear them play as one,
Then the year will be well begun.

Humankind and God divine
More at one than flute and drum
When we hear them play as one,
Turelurelu, patapatapan,
When we hear them play as one,
Then together let us come.

Guillaume, prends ton tambourin,
Toi, prends ta flûte, Robin;
Au son de ces instruments,
Turelurelu, patapatapan,
Au son de ces instruments,
Je dirai Noël gaîment.

Lyrics: traditional / sacred / DSCM

Occult Electronic
by Tommy Creep

Sinister, abrasive and haunted circuitry. Creeping textures, tense harmonies and unrelenting rhythms to soundtrack the horror film playing endlessly somewhere in your unconscious... Dead Space Chamber Music

Worlds Left Behind
by New Haunts

First class synth song-craft. Acknowledges the influences and tradition whilst carrying things forward. Great balance of melodic vocal work, blasts of icy synth and a bit of industrial grit and edge. Dead Space Chamber Music

Rota Fortunae I (EP)
by Kate Arnold

supported by 6 fans who also own “Pat-a-pan”

Kate began as a classically trained violinist and vocalist, and picked up the hammered dulcimer along the way, and once fronted the “punk baroque” band, Fear of the Forest. She utilizes looping and electronic effects to create an electro-medieval sound. This is the first of two related EPs that reflect her sophisticated eclecticism. Nickie Harte Kelly
