thx all for yourt feedbacks, really appreciated

Hi all,
here's a brand new release by Where Orchids Goes to Die

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDRiuqkAdbk

"This song narrates the story of Mogoro’s Maidens based on a traditional local tale.

Every night, in procession, dressed in white, they pass through the street, which begins with the main church to arrive at “Su Cramu”. Detached from the others, there is a solitary maiden with wet hair. Along the path, she stops to speak to an old lady, sitting outside her home to get some fresh air during a hot summer night. She asks the old lady to tell her mother to stop crying for her death: her tears wet the maiden, making her heavy, holding her from reaching her sisters.

Dedicated to who's gone and who stays."

all music has been produced and recorded with maschine mk3 and komplete kontrol S49 Mk2

"Founded in late 2019 by the sardinian electronic musician Mebitek and the mapuche artist Mariana Millapan.
As the Ancients' stories, the project "Where Orchids Goes To Die" sings the pantomimes of life's tragedy.

No video Claudio? I think we lose the impact without the video.
I'm not near as creeped out, but maybe that's a good thing...

But hey, side A is in the can and good on ya for that!

Hi, this time no video. It's a side project and I think the genre is not as scary as I'm usually. Unfortunately the pandemic give to me some problems to organize all  the video stuff. I hope in the near future to prepare a video single. thank so much for your feedback

so much...angst.  :D:D  I'd get rid of the little intro, but that's just a matter of taste.  The song is great.

thx so much for the feedback!

The music fits the video (and vice versa) very well.  More David Lynch than David Lynch.
I thought Maschine was all about dance tracks but guess not.

reallt thx for comparing my work to David Lynch. _He is on of my favorite directors! I use maschine for my cinematic works and it fits perfectly my work flow cause it permits to me to play instruments directly in an easy way.

The video reminded me of some of the first iterations of MYST.  Like bjorn said, the music yields the desired effect.  So what's your frequency?

thx so much for your feedback. As we are all in quarantine I think we are in the same damned frequency. The main concept that I want to express in the video is that we are all reclaiming freedom. But are we sure that we wanna back the past freedom, the freedom to be bad humans, destroying and trample on everything?

Hi all,
here's my latest new music - video work:

* produced and directed in self-isolation and remote locations by mebitek & Jele Raus 
* in collaboration with AxAn, Carlo Porta, Mariana Millapan, Martin Chef, Veronica Sanna The 

#Quarantine project doesn’t stop. #wedontstop #wedontgiveup 

 We have reached the third part of our project Quarantine - De Rerum Humanitate (literally "On Mankind"), struggling once again to reflect on the relationship between man and nature in relation to the condition we are facing. This current phase should encourage us to consider ourselves as part of a larger process, to put aside our wild individualism and consumerism, reconsidering our freedoms, which we punctually regret and reclaim, then using them to destroy and step on what we really are and are part of.  

 * Lyrics: (Martin Chef - Jele Raus) 
Mes chers compatriotes, 
La pandémie frappe à nos portes et plus que jamais notre nation se doit d’être forte. 
Nous devons, unis, mener de front un combat ici et là-bas, et ne pouvons être définis face à l’urgence qui s’impose. 
Beaucoup d’encre coulera à propos de ce gouvernement mais je ne permettrai pas que ses représentants soient en proie à l’inaction. 
---------
I don't know 
you I don’t feel you 
I don't know mercy 
You always ask for yourself 
You know nothing 
But your own everything 
Future is a spiral 
The curve is viral 
And my decision is final.

The #Quarantine project doesn’t stop. #wedontstop #wedontgiveup

We keep on following and supporting our reflection on the complex situation in which we are all in, which should lead us not only to be closer as humans, but also to be more respectful as creatures on this planet. Our future cannot be defined by temporary expressions of empathy, but by an idea of a new humanity on a long-term basis.

 In times of limitations and quarantine, 
art cannot and must not stop, for it is naturally inspired by shared ideas, which are not subjected to limits of time and space, We do not stop. 

#iononmiarresto #wedontstop 

* Lyrics: 
Quarantine, there’s nothing here
No one talking to myself to hear
Thy ghosts are dancing in my head
Secretly whispering thoughts in my ear

Shine quarantine shine
Let those clouds align
Creating a crystal shrine
Of a carnage blood wine
And the flesh and livers combine
Oh Nature divine
For yourself be benign

cool track! nice trip! really atmospheric

Hi all,
I just want to present my latest work:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTpJ1dkhuUc

it's a shortfilm with dark ambient electronic soundtrack:

"The Mourning Path" is an indipendent short movie realised by the Sardinian artists Mebitek and JeleRaus.
It is the story, and the point of view, of a young woman, Kate, who experienced her greatest loss: her life - but also the loss of all those painful episodes which mark each and every existance - letting them go by facing them one last time.
Her path to oblivion, strongly desired, is marked by the encounter with her most oppressive obsessions and sufferings, which are personified, anthropomorphised, a quintessence of desperation.
The last Boss, exactly as inside a videogame, represents the Electra complex, not in a Freudian point of view, but mostly in a literary sense.
In this work, identity - art - technology are inextricably intertwined: in fact the art medium used is technology itself, especially in the editing phase, in which this aspect played an essential role, without which the objective wouldn't have been reached.
Here, identities represented by the artistic medium are more than one: the woman, seen as a daughter, as a protagonist, as a desperate and strong entity, but hopefully never stereotyped; the father, who is also represented in many different ways within the project; the entities and identities which personify everyone's life phases, framed in an unsettling but at the same time liberating scenography. But in a way it also represents a community of people's identity, whose shared imagines and beliefs shaped a collective imagination which can be represented and read in multiple ways.
Therefore, this project is a manifestation of the union between identity - art - technology. 

feedbacksa re really welcome on both video and soundtrack
