about

This is the name of the Immortal flower of the underworld in Greek mythology, in Elysium. It's described as a funerary plant of ruins and cemeteries, and it was found growing underneath black poplars and sterile willows, sometimes depicted in paintings in grey tones. I love the idea of an immortal flower. In my mind's eye , I imagine it glowing in the middle of a field, standing on its own and radiating out its own light .
I recently moved house, and came across some very old floppy disks I recorded space like keyboard sounds onto years ago, so have used some of these in the background under the vocals .They are what made me think about the underworld, or somewhere otherworldly !
