Rybird's almost insane, near chaotic, yet groovy and melodic, sometimes polytonal, but grounded music pulls from a futurist method of playing style to create a composition that takes us to an imaginary land of nymphs, fairies and warlocks by using ultra modern sounds combined with an untethered playing style. It is indeed a concoction that one would be adventurous in partaking in. I assure you it is harmless though, unless you don not trust your own imagination.

Make way to embark on a sonic voyage armed with extended range munitions expert Audio Weapon on Sampo, groove guru guitarist Spinaceto on The Ferryman, and Nathan Tucker, a mystic-met physicist specializing in bastardology, on Arcturus. Become a casualty to unnatural phenomenon through absorption of this exploration of the musical exploit Arion, a heroic mission, if you dare. Arion has 15 reality cancelling episodes, each one a pilgrimage to unfamiliar wilderness, each one reaching a different sector of your mind that is the metropolis of untamed psyche.

Love your music! Really attached to Adonis. Has that orbital feel with lots of little "tickles" to the ear. Love the feel of the synchopated drums against the synths. Nice work. Great music overall and fun to listen to. I will definitely put you on my list (up near the top) ;)   Posted By: Mr Grant on July 31, 2012 - 2:19AM

​Charon the Ferryman with the soundtrack The Ferryman by Rybird, featuring Spinaceto on guitar. Charon the Ferryman was the ferryman of the dead, an underworld daimon (spirit) in the service of King Haides. He received the shades of the dead from Hermes, who gathered them from the upper world and guided them to the shores of the Akherousian mere. From there Charon transported them in his skiff to a final resting place in Hades, the land of the dead, on the other side. The fee for his service was a single obolos coin which was placed in the mouth of a corpse at burial. Those who had not received due burial and were unable to pay his fee, would be left to wander the earthly side of the Akheron, haunting the upper world as ghosts.

- Don't Pay The Ferryman

It was late at night on the open road, 
Speeding like a man on the run, 
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey;
He is closer now and the search is on,
Reading from a map in the mind,
Yes there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river,
And when the rain came down
He heard a wild dog howl,

There were voices in the night - "Don't do it!"
Voices out of sight - "Don't do it!
Too many men have failed before
Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman, 
Don't even fix a price, 
Don't pay the ferryman, 
Until he gets you to the other side;"

In the rolling mist then he gets on board, 
Now there'll be no turning back, 
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder, 
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, 
And people calling out his name, 
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned 
On the water;

And then the ferryman said
"There is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
"You must pay me now," - "Don't do it!"
And still that voice came from beyond,
"Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman, 
Don't even fix a price, 
Don't pay the ferryman, 
Until he gets you to the other side;
Don't pay - the ferryman!"
