Extract from Seraphina | "Enchantment Song" 

Hey folks,

Anyone fancy reading an extract from one of the character books from the new album “The Ten Lives of Sempi Ternus”?

This is from Seraphina | “Enchantment Song”

…In the heart of an ancient, moonlit clearing, a lone woman sat by a crackling campfire, her silvery hair cascading like a waterfall of starlight down her back. The eerie beauty of the night was juxtaposed by the looming presence of a threatening mob, encroaching from the shadows, their faces distorted by fear and rage.

The flames danced before her, casting a warm glow that painted the clearing in hues of gold and amber. Seraphina's gaze, steady and unwavering, fixated on the flickering tongues of fire. The crackling sound of burning wood serenaded her ears, a comforting melody that resonated with the ancient magic flowing through her veins. The scent of the flames, earthy and familiar, mingled with the crisp autumn air.

Lost in the dance of firelight, Seraphina's mind drifted back to the early days of her training. In the hallowed halls of the ancient temple, she had discovered the dormant magic within her—a gift passed down through generations of custodians. Her mentor, a wise elder named Elowen, guided her through the intricate melodies of the ancient songs.

The first time Seraphina sang, the very air around her seemed to shimmer with latent energy. Elowen's eyes sparkled with pride, recognising the potential that lay within her apprentice. The songs weren't mere notes; they were threads connecting the custodians to a realm of magic that existed beyond the perceptions of ordinary folk.

She recalled the nights spent under the starlit sky, practicing until her voice resonated with the purity of the enchanted woods. Elowen's words echoed in her memory, "Seraphina, you are the keeper of our heritage. Your songs will weave the tapestry that binds our world to the magic of the ancients."….

Acoustic EP and New Album 

Hey folks,

Three pieces of news: 

Firstly, I still plan on recording a live solo and acoustic EP at some point soon. It will be available here first (potentially exclusively). Likely track listing could be:

  1. The Mouse & The Lion
  2. Memories Remain
  3. A Grand Illusion (new and unreleased)
  4. Eternal Birdsong (new and unreleased)

Secondly, my “Allegories Transcended” multi-language album project is still underway with 4 songs complete and 2 in progress. I'm still looking for an additional 2 collaborators who could sing a song in a different language…please let me know if you have any recomendations. 

Finally, work is underway for my next full length project, working title “The 10 lives of Sempi Ternus”. This is seriously exciting and very ambitious. It is about an eternal being and each of the lives he has lived. Each song is told from the perspective of one of his lives. 

I'll keep you posted with more news soon.

Cheers

F
