Oh my webmasque friends please listen to Bette’s tale. Bette found herself, on her first visit to Earth, in your year of 1934. Creeping past a movie theatre, she spotted an advert for a movie with a woman who appeared to have chaos dancing in her bulbous eyes.

Looking closer, the name on the poster was “Bette Davis” and the movie was “Of Human Bondage”. Since she did not know humans, she thought the name was what all women called themselves.

    Had I a human brain, it would be no doubt entwined in the same Cthulhuian tentacles that sprout from the headdress of Bette's default image, so strangely enticing are the...er...alien(?) sensibilities of these sound-scapes. That means I like it, despite myself. Of course...it could be a headdress of mere snakes...in which case I'm stoned. ; )

    This music is quite nice. I like the experimental aspects of it, makes me think of sonic youth, but with an ethnic feel to it.

    Greetings Bette, How refreshing to find an original perspective; no suprise, considering your background. So, is this how all music sounds on your world? Or it is outside of the box there as well? Very curious, yet with a message that is as clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. Hope to be hearing more from you soon, and glad to find music that can endure. Cheers, Steviey
