Pregnant Spore - Tyjaya/Xanadu
Tyjaya is simply an interesting, uncommon and ethnic first name in which I've added to my own fantasies of Xanadu to write fantastic stories in my mind. Xanadu was the name of the summer capital of Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty in China. Xanadu was described by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo, and in 1797 inspired a famous poem, Kubla Khan, by one of the leading English poets of the Romanticism movement, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The band Rush, a huge Pregnant Spore influence, also had a song called Xanadu based on this very poetry. Additionally, Jane Yolen wrote a book called Xanadu (and Xanadu 2) which was the actually introduction into the history of Xanadu in my life. I stumbled across the book wandering a library as a kid and became fascinated. Sonically, this release is extremely experimental in nature and covers many facets of avant sound-art using manipulated electronics and samples. Enjoy. Maybe.
