Exu's voicemail files

[edit] Specific Sounds, 1988+

Omphalos
Beyond the mountain ridge I see him
My precious boy
My special child.
I rush to see the wonder in his eyes
To experience the childhood delights.
On the ridge, eyes wild devouring
His precious boy
His special child.
I rush to hide the horror in my eyes
To mourn the grandchild cannibalized.
Thirteen stones swallowed by
My precious boy
My special child.
His hungry mind misses my lying eyes
Thirteen children his delight.
Mother’s love becomes grandmum’s rage
My horrible boy
My hated child.
Gaia nurses revolt as revolting eyes
Something precious that has already died.

[edit] - Comments
It begins: the chorus of our life expands and contracts across ELF-VLF bouncing invisibility. Proton and multi-hop whistlers mix with the temporal meditation of our loud insignificance. Phase indifference transcends the music of the spheres. It is swallow
[edit] - Lyrics info
I've always been fascinated by the sounds that surround us, especially those that lurk just outside of the range of our human perception. After just such a terrestrial anomalous sound was deemed responsible for the collapse of a US radio telescope in 1988, my professional interests turned toward the strange signal being called the Scream. I even contributed some academic thinking on using phase inversion to buttress sensitive instruments from future damage. In 1999, experiments with a similar concept resulted in the death of friends, co-faculty, and students in a horrible accident that has haunted my artistic work ever since. This haunting combination of saturnal and earthly choruses evokes the eating of children, hidden like stones deep in the belly of time (as is one of the few adjusted recordings of the Scream.)
[edit] - Embedded Image
The following image was found embedded in the mp3 file. This is
Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son, which
depicts the moment when Saturn (Chronus) consumes one of his own
children. This is also the topic of the "Omphalos" poem. We aren't
quite sure about the connection yet, but from her notes on the mp3,
Dr. Riley seems to equate Saturn's children being eaten with the
members of the Miskatonic expedition being lost in the cave in
1999:
