about

I usually try to avoid being too verbose about the music of XETB – too much wordplay perhaps removes something of the spirit of the music. However, for the curious here's a little background information about the tracks.

Wind Quartet - Probably the most elemental track, since some of the instrumentation was provided by weighted strings hung from a large tree being swung over a guitar's strings, a drum and singing bowl.

Hieroglyphic Mountain - Appended to Wind Quartet, a little tune that Just happened... The title derives from alchemically inspired wordplay - I've been studying John Dee's Hieroglyphic Monad for a couple of years. In some of the Rosicrucian works that follow there seems to be some interplay between the Latin word for Rose and Dew (ros). The title comes from playing around with the word Monad (Greek: the one) and intuitively identifying it with the Gaelic Monadh, the Latin Mons and so on.
