Great to find this online. I haven't heard this in a very...long... time :-) Funny how UA-cam digitally resurrects things you thought were long gone, lost to analogue. We recorded this in Newport, Wales in 1992 and I think the atmosphere is pretty good. A lot of it was completely spontaneous in terms of the sounds and accompanying music. What I would have given then for the digital tools that we've got now! Fostex 8 track, Roland D50 synth, R8 drum machine, taped sound effects. Wulfrun Hall
I have a very literal translation of Sappho's work called If Not Winter: Fragments of Winter. I find her really fascinating because in a time when her contemporaries, the learned men were all about logic and rhetoric, she was carried on a fiery passion and such immediate feeling to her work. I think that is what makes her accessible and relatable. She was celebrated and still is. :)
copy paste this 'I Beseech you Γογγυλα - Κέλομαί σε Γογγύλα'' its a poem of Sappho in the aeolic dialect of the nothern aegean islands & Lesbos of course, where she was from! The greek spoken in Athens was the attic one, which is the clasical greek language. The aeolic idioms were more archaic and they were also influenced by the east, Asia Minor & Persia. The aeolic dialect was different and more simple than the attic one, greeks understood each other they were greek, but they werent the same.
This is a beautiful video...but I'm a bit unnerved by the connection between the composers and (according to Google) the Order of the Nine Angles. What's up with that?
@@z0ttel89 well not strictly true. I wasn’t but was invited to collaborate on the soundscapes for this and before that a longer piece called ‘The Self Immolation Rite’. The creative person at the heart of both was someone known then as Christos Beest who was connected with ONA.
Love the singing/music in this...But am puzzeled/trnaslation by some of the words...Fragment 1...is this translated from Sappho..? as Aphrodite was not the daughter of Zeus... ancients such as her...preceded the later mythological period...as I always understood it...Lovely singing tho as i said...
In addition, this music is horrible, it doesnt sound ancient sapphic. Its like a mixture between Iraqi and Tunisian music with modern sounds and complexes.

I Love this, discovering this on UA-cam coincided with my discovering her writings.
Amar o locamente practicar cada beso que se guarda..

@Karnamagos Lovely anyway...!

What would you like to know?
Yes, they were all followers of the pathways of the O9A, that is correct.
@@jo18533 What do you know?

@@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars Would you mind sharing how you knew Christos Beest/Richard Moult? This is a topic I'm quite interested in :^)

in Homero's version, Aphrodite is a daughter of Zeus and Dione. Nice music and translation! I love the pictures from ONA.
