Neon Babylon
Early musical suite attributed to the reclusive composer and cyberpoet mailer_daemon. Written exclusively in Latin and German, the piece's lyrics focus largely on a grab bag of Illuminati-related subjects, including the Silurian Hypothesis, Saturn's Hexagon, and the significance of Alpha Draconis. Written for a mixed ensemble of strings, percussion, choir, harpsichord and analog synthesizers, Neon Babylon's scattershot performance directions require performers to wear various constructed masks. The harpsichordist, a particular target of the composer's ire, is asked to perform while wearing a large and heavy minotaur mask with no eyeslits or breathing hole. The only known performance of the work took place in REDACTED by the Eastern European experimental music ensemble Shepherds of Apocrypha/Illuminati Quartet in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
Also dating from this period is A Lake Cimmerian, a piece for solo harpsichord calling for the performer to don a cumbersome and sightless minotaur mask.
