Sagenhaft - The Legend of the Forgotten Reign (Castlewood Distribution, 1996)

"Once upon the time many time ago, a man who looked for a land and that there wasn't an ancient forgotten place, a mystical reign by now left. He has been looking for it for the eternity, living a thousand of lives in one, I don't know if he found it and this is perhaps his story, my story."

"It's over, I see light to draw near a thousand of ice skies is over me, thunders hit them and everything as in an immense mirror ice, scope begins to change. Forms lose their original state, everything becomes different from what we believe it is. Colour become shadows of a dance of restless spirits, everything turns around but also stands still in a point of space, it is just so forever from the beginning, light is an impression of the smell of something we remember our memories thoughts come away and join with others losing the body empty lights."

"We can fly in a sort of vast desert of dull lights that moves, waving as in a tide of voice that call only a being, but listening to better you realize you aren't who they call, so everythings becomes not much dark but you go on flying. You fly on those which were your purposes once, but its late now, you can only fly on them, though you don't understand why thing leave you. Flying becomes more difficult for thing change colours, form before more sharp pointed strange everything is dark without."

"And then, though little more sad, you feel yourself at home, in dark corner sitting at the foot of one of the strange, dark forms. You wait for somethings that will never come, but only you will know the secrets of light, the real reason why we became blind and then manage to distinguish light from darkness. Probably you know why y we are damned to understand things and to see what the others don't see, to try what will never try. We belong to a race that don't forgive who stands still to look back, we are damned to live, this is our malediction."

Recently finished digitizing several thousand photos from inherited slides and mirrored them to Flickr if anyone would be interested in a truckload of snapshots from 70s - 80s everyday life. Feel free to reupload any that strike your fancy, too; I don't claim ownership or anything and it would be cool to see them find a second life here.

Spectrograms of wolf vocalizations: "Some squeaks were repeated often enough to be recognized; these were associated with certain specific behaviors, leading one to think of them as bits of true communication."
