“This essay features two main concepts, that of collecting and that of heritage. When I first started building a music collection, I never thought about the implications this might have for the discovery and, implicitly, for the conservation of a music heritage, which could, otherwise, be lost. The two concepts do not always have to be related to one another, yet, in certain cases, one informs the other in such a way, that they become almost inseparable. But before I address the issue of how music collecting and building a cultural heritage have become entangled phenomena in my personal history, I should attempt to provide some sort of definition for these two concepts, in order to better grasp how their content is formed and how it functions. ...”
When I turned around, I almost jumped out of my skin! There was an amazing portrait sitting up behind some vases. It was of a very beautiful red-headed woman....it had to be a portrait of Thymian Boedell.
ELIAS- “This is going downstairs! We need to hang this in the living room.!”
And as I looked a little further and my eyes became more accustomed to the dim lighting, I saw another portrait...
This one was actually hanging up near a table. with some books on it and other things...In the corner of the portrait it read... “Nico Boedell, Realm Master”
ELIAS- “WOW! He really looks like me...or I look like him! This one is going downstairs too. Nico was Thymian’s father, so they would hang downstairs next to one another.”
And as I turned....I saw a large book sitting on the table...could this be?

Brandy reached out to them, worked on shaping album art and created a unique, amazing design in the process. @hnrcrew is where you’ll find Brandy these days.

Modern Mythologies - a talk with Raffaele Pezzella
“Raffaele Pezzella organises streaming radio sessions (more than 200 as I write this) for promoting the artists he finds and/or curates across the world under the umbrella of the Unexplained Sounds Group label, or the Eighth Tower Records sublabel. He started the Unexplained Sounds Group back in 2015, an currently the imprint has reached more than 50 releases in its catalogue, published mostly on CD and as digital download. The label was recently described by Bandcamp as a ‘global network of aural disorientation’. Raffaele focuses on experimental music, whether it is ambient, abstract or drone. ...”

Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst): I'm mainly inspired by what I can't explain with evidence, by the mystery of things and of reality (Video)
When I got home I decided to go up into the attic and look around. The book that Philip Goth had spoke of was in the forefront of my mind, so maybe it just might be in the attic, was my presumption. I am sure that my grandmother Vada probably hid it better than that, but it was worth a try.
No one had been up here in quite sometime, and I had to replace a light bulb to get enough light so that I could actually see up here.
Books, crates of more books, papers, maps...there was book on a book stand, but it was an old family bible. I skimmed through it, but nothing was in there that I didn’t already know. I saw a painting on the wall of some kind of building, with blueprints. I looked closer, and it said it was the “Realm House” in Alexandria. That was where the Witch Master resided years ago. But it was destroyed during the Vampire Purge. I kept looking, but still no book of spells....
