The melody was written by Jirka Wehle, but in this performance it sometimes turns into a kind of rough rap. The original text was written by one of the greatest German authors J.W.Goethe – in this case in a translation by Karel Jaromír Erben. A poem based on a folk legend is called the Ghost King (Erlkoenig) and has inspired many artists in the past (for example Franz Schubert). The whole piece is permeated by a dense and brutal sample of niner, the sound of which is a bit like a viola in colour – hence a “violator”. Among the old instruments, in addition to the niner, there is also a sagemaj – especially in the intermezzo. The atmosphere of the Ghost King is very dark to chilly and this is exactly the mood we tried to highlight in this track. So she went through a long process where at the beginning there was a folk song with a guitar, then a band folk-rock, and finally this hard electronic remix with the heavily effeminate voice of the Ghost King. Date of birth — 2006.

This composition was created gradually as a puzzle from samples of mandolin, flute and my voice. It gradually began to evolve and grow itself, until the Latin lyrics of In hoc anni circulo, celebrating the Virgin Mary, came into it as one of the supporting pillars – originally it appeared only in the background in the soprano (I sing it with falsetto) and after years I added a recitation of this text along with several other Latin sentences, which completed and anchored the whole character of the piece. Since this track was created for a very long time and in small parts and was at first very amorphous and elusive until gradually it began to crystallize and hone very interestingly – it was called “Hranol”, although today I would probably call it “Krystal”. The composition took its basic shape around 2008.

Although this song may seem very harsh, its essence is humor and hyperbole. It is directly inspired by the work of the famous Polish science fiction author Stanislav Lem (Solaris, Pilot Pirx test etc…). But not by his dramas, but by his humorous stories (Cyberiad, Robot fables, etc.). The essence of the composition is therefore not primarily mockery of the Catholic rite, as it might seem (in the text we can hear directly slightly modified quotations from the Catholic Mass), but a shift of the whole affair into the field of sci-fi fable – precisely in the style of the aforementioned genius of fantastic literature. Musically, much of it comes from the hard-trance style, but the electric guitar and fine elements of the classics have a big say. The first version was shot in a home studio around 2005.

The idea of the World of Hunters was born in the last century. I first sketched a highly nervous track based on seven-period rhythm when I was a student. But his thought has not aged at all since then. Quite the opposite. So in 2014, I dusted off the idea and recorded a song with the band. Since then, it has waited for its final completion. Interestingly, the honcho world – that is, the ever-accelerating insane and suicidal pace of the civilisation machine suddenly broke in 2020, and it is almost certainly the very first time in modern history. Of course, the world of hunters is not over. His madness rages beneath the surface, breathing in before the final phase of his frantic dance. It’s like a forest fire. The element seems to have calmed down, but it’s spreading through the underground. Likewise, the motifs of the individual instruments in the composition surface and disappear, intertwining and dancing in apparent chaos. However, just as the hunters in the forest have a plan and precise roles, so the music of the World of Hunters is guided by precise mathematics. But the last important question remains… what exactly are we chasing…?
