Ashes & Tangerines by Avi C. Engel

"A distinctly northern take on southern gothic fairytales."


"Some music seems too big for itself. Like an ancient encyclopedia with entries on folk, blues, post-punk, opera, and chamber music that sits on a shelf next to a pretty little wilting plant on one side and lonely fish in a bowl on the other — and you wonder how that tome doesn’t bring the whole bookcase crashing down. So big are the sounds here, so crackling with emotion that the perfect place to see it live would be somewhere old and wooden: a huge hall usually saved for ceremonies, lit by hundreds of candles, flickering and warm. Or, if not live, then as a soundtrack to a movie that takes place in a very old, grey city, where two lovers lose each other and have to spend a cold night wandering the wet streets searching for the other. It would be autumn, and most of the citizens of this city would also be cold, but some kind souls would extend their hands in help. In the end the lovers would find one another, but not after losing something else that they could never get back."

I'm not writing the same song over and over so much as writing one long continuous song that will end when I die.
