In the dark of the labryinth Ariadne's pulling the strings In the heart of the double-axe place Minotaur silently sings Ariadne's pulling the string Theseus stumbles through the dark In the centre of darkness Minotaur lights a spark Minotaur gets up in the fire His eyes reveal desire Theseus steps forward - gives him a kiss Dark, hot bliss No one was killed that night

lying in the sun reduced to myself no dough no ambition stripped to the self wind rustles in the leaves zephyr across the face and body the naked body ripples splash reed rustles yonder the lake wooded hills bright haze glows from within no wishes at all the earth beneath me silently pulsates glows deep nebeath me deep under sand ground water rock and magma there's the earth's heart beat there the earth’s heart beats measures my time lying in the warm rain drip by drip drops from the leaves clouds float away sun quietly sets moon shines warm on hazy night on the rolling land

Grey-feathered dove Looks from stoic eyes Laid out on a rock Red ring ‘round the neck I lay in the circle Banned by the maenad Dancing to the drum beat Rattles feather jangling chains Dance around me then tear me apart My glance my breath Let slowly sink The bird’s head Grey feather’s tun red The plate slowly filled With dark red liquid She sunk the sharp knife Milky half-moon cut off the head Dance around me then tear me apart I flew through silence The rustle of leaves The breath of the earth Through walls and craniums Lifted myself up Starry sky above me Frost shimmered In bright starlight Dance around me then tear me apart

Smiling god crowned with laurel shot arrows into my obsessed brain Ephebe softly grabbed into the chest tenderly squeezing the heart Vindictive being of light appeared and burned out my spirit

Over last few days I travelled west Now the keel ploughs the foaming sea Asking for light and gold Rich tombs awaiting me Steering westward deeper into the waves Searching Hades while others drink mead Further west into fallow land Behind the hills the souls are freed Down west suns sinks a molten ball Dives into the a pool of molten ore Under bright orange cirrus clouds And dark and sleep beneath the tor

Cold crept up and down inside Made me tremble empty head Sulphurous lichen grew on adamant rock Which once was fire congealed snakes Frozen tentacles splintered under feet Clinking frost ground life Floods froze inside my chest Frozen was the thinking self

Pan 05:14
lyrics

I know The panic fear Of Greek afternoons When inert by heat In still air numbness The goat-legged one appears Among oleaster whispers Strong-smelling pines Resin stubbles Scratchy claws Drag needles across the back Hands out slimy kisses Pierces me with urging cock Smell of resin and dung In panic fear I pushed him off Fled to the soothing sea Soothed the pain Sun block floated Through viscous air Holidaymakers’ clock-ticking Beach tennis seeped through So I cuckooned Zone by zone Under the last layer of skin Nobody appeared

Kronos 05:05

I am wide and empty space Silently suffused with light Marbly tiny clouds float on I raise my right hand To grab a child satisfy hunger Stretched fingers move through air Son hurls lightning right at me I am song in the void Tumbling sounds on clouds I blow them away into the blue I am sky - heavy and dark Pour my grief on empty earth

about

Random Premonition is the first solo effort by Peter Busse, formerly of of Post-Punk outfits Roule Clan/Stolen Letters, Suicide à Trois, Shame Flute, and the Darkwads, folk trio Folie à Trois, neo-krautrock project Fenws Gogwai, and current member of Alternative duo Natchka (together with Matti Johansson).
He is based in Berlin, of Rhineland origin, and creates soundscapes and lyrics inspired by his post-war, post-industrial hometown, and of the nature surrounding him in and out of the city of Berlin, in Wales, Turkey, Crete, Poland, Southern France, the Baltic States, where he studied the songs and myths of the local regions.

„A Maze“ explores the world of soul, psyche, memory, and the present invading the past, taking the guise of Greek myths, which in their universal character help visualise the inner landscape and abysses.
Using samples of Ancient Mediterranean and Levantine music as well as the Post-Punk instrumentarium creates a soundscape that hopefully manages you to take you on a journey to confront inside and outside demons, conquering them with love.
