Persephony
History
|
Persephony, the singer WF & writer Le Pyghle, has been able te record, with the help of ten musicians, a compilation of songs. Te put it in another way: actualli, Persephony doesnt happen te be a group in a usual sense, tho once, 22iii1979, she performed in Paris. <<to those who loved us>>, a first album, has no other purpose but giving notice of WF singing pyghlian texts. Unless one isnt willingli t'expect something else than up to date popular entertainment, one sureli s going te get disapointid. This surplus cld be found in synthesiz of lyrics and music; these here paradoxical thesis: theatral a singer, scenario a text, with certain modern music. Coordinatid a view cld be typified by a kind of historical sense, a critical narration of popmusic, for instance, or the significance of statues. A second typical item cld be found in existential modes, the idea of solitude & things alike. Coherenciz between history & existentialism are evident. Persephony has chosen, te characterise & illustrate chaos & contrast of this here time (the idea of musical theatre), a simple accompaniment, te render easi entranciz to its purposiz. In a way this collection & the way it is played & recordid constitute a phase of a development. This is a reason why it s necassari te date <<to those who loved us>>; besides, it illustrates Persephony's historical point of view (in a theoretical sense). Numbered items, 1 to 500, released 7iv1979, are willingli te testimone a very first draft of Persephony notwithstanding its (slight) musical effects. In order t'explain part of Persephony's backgrounds one has te think about the trio The Eve on Horseback, which startid te practice 22xi1969, ten years since. First musical influenciz are centered around Syd Barrett, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa & classical blues, exempli gratia. Nevertheless, the point of view of surpassing these here confluenciz dominatid ani further practice, tho, actualli, it didnt lead to anything untill Polumnia appeared on the scene. The Eve on Horseback failed te come through, Persephony had te take her place. These crisiz crystallized in the album <<to those who loved us>> (t'explain a part of a title). |
