Syd themed sound-blog online

[EF Bausor]

Check out this sound-blog with lots of Syd references: 'The Seven Heads of Gog Magog' by Paul Rooney. Seven oracular sound recordings illumined by a mythologically polymorphous blog. http://sevenheadsofgogmagog.org/

This sound/music/blog website is inspired by Syd Barrett, Orpheus, TC Lethbridge and many others. It includes new music by Paul Rooney, his first music releases since 'Lucy Over Lancashire' vinyl 12" of 2007 (see October 2014 Wire Magazine for a review of the CD re-issue of this 'thought provoking 16 minute gem').

This is a description of the site from another website: "Fictional homeless autodidact 'poly-myth-storian' Emma Florence Bausor, with the 'invaluable assistance' of Paul Rooney, uploaded seven sound recordings of uncertain origin to her website. She called these recordings ‘oracles’, because they are premonitory or prophetic emanations that seem to have issued from – or through – seven objects from museums in Cambridge. In the course of her website blog Bausor attempts to comprehend what this idea could mean, primarily by engaging with the words of the oracles themselves. The seven 'mythologically polymorphous' blog posts explore – with the help of Bausor's ‘beast-mates’ and the myths of Orpheus, Syd Barrett, Rat and Mole, TC Lethbridge and others – the possibility of a return to a golden age of the ‘real gods’, and to life itself."
