Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry ?

In what distant deeps or skies,
Burnt the fire of thine eyes ?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare sieze the fire ?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart ?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet ?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp !

When the stars threw down their spears
And water’d heaven with their tears :
Did he smile his work to see ?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee ?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry ?

William Blake

This album consists of four improvisations recorded during the summer of 2022 and using Ross Fish‘s Møffenzeef Stargazer as main instrument.

Quote from Møffenzeef Modular website :

STARGAZER is øne beast øf a drøne machine: dual wavetable øscillatør with ninety arbitrary waveførms, twø resønant løwpass filters, three wavetable LFØ’s, sample rate reductiøn, bit rate reductiøn, amplitude mødulatiøn, and CMØS distørtiøn. The expressiøn pedal input can be used tø cøntrøl the speed øf all three LFØs at the same time which free up your hands tø cøntrøl øther aspects øf the drøne. This cømpact røbust instrument is høused in a rugged sheet metal encløsure. STARGAZER can handle the abuse it will inevitably take at gigs and is røad ready før whatever horrible treatment lies ahead. Stare intø the sky møuth agape while shredding parallel dimensiøns with this hypnøtic vømitrøn.
