The Moon Has Risen - Music

One-Man Post-Rock/post-Black Metal/shoegaze Project From Russia. Info From Http //www.Farfrommoscow.Com/articles/thehappymask-Mermaids-Of-The-Lipetsk-Shed-And-Dancedancedance.Html The Gentleman Behind That Willful Anonymity And Stylistic Run-Around Can Be Unearthed On At Least One Domestic Social Network But Even There He Hides Behind The Nickname Of "Constantine Horizon." Self-Portraits Visual Or Textual Do Little To Increase Our Database Of Objective Information Silhouettes And Saturated Colors Hide Various Faces. Obscurity Offers Broad Appeal In Several Senses. In Speaking Of His Musical Development Constantine Shows Nothing Of The Purposeful Rhetoric That Drives The Local Economy. Translated From The Russian His Self-Declaration Instead Reads "Basically Speaking This Is My Own Modest Musical Project. It Came Into Being Very Spontaneously At The Start Of Last Summer - In A Town That Doesn't Exist ! . This Is Music Written Under The Influence Of My Private Emotions And Aspirations But Despite The Overarching Melancholy It's Full Of Hope That The Material Will Improve." The Only Other Thing These Shoegazing Instrumentals Offer In Terms Of Specificity Is A Small Poem Accredited To An Anonymous Author And Written To An Unnamed Female Addressee. Constantine Has Uploaded It To One Of His Networking Pages. Turned Into English Prose It Asks A Reader To Save "magical Beauty" From The "illusion Of Those Who Say You're Eternal Or That Happiness Lasts Forever." The Same Text Also Warns Its Addressee That Perfection Is An Unobtainable State. Paraphrased These Couplets Assert That Any Striving For Idealism Will Be A Constant Increasingly Sad Undertaking One That Will Outstrip Our Time Of Both Physical And Emotional Wellbeing. And Should Guidance Or Company Be Sought On That Long Miserable Path It Might Come From The Spirit Of Kurt Cobain Whom Constantine Quotes As A Source Of Lasting Inspiration. Consolation Comes Apparently From Cobain's Assertion That Joyless - Though Dignified - Dreams Are Preferable To The Mindless Distractions Of Urban Nightlife. Sadness Is Better Than Happy Self-Delusion. Http //thehappymask.Bandcamp.Com
