Details:
My name is Terry Atkinson - aka Xybor. I am a multi-instrumental musician, songwriter, producer and multimedia artist. Xybor and the Cosmonauts is my alter-cyber-ego band.
As with most of my music, Dream of the Shadow Puppet was written, played, recorded and produced by me. It tells of shadow people in a shadow world, and their occassional escape into a world of quicksilver light -- the moment between twilight and night. The story is told by a stage actor, who years ago was whisked into the quicksilver light by the fairy queen. The audience knows the story by heart and yet want to hear it over and over. It strikes me as being very sad. But hopeful.
Musically, it derives from psychedelic and progressive rock -- Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Bowie. I used a very colorful palette of music and sound to create the right feel.
The song itself seems to be theatrical, as is much of my music. It follows a story line, rather than the typical verse-chorus-bridge structure which defines most popular music today.
Musically, I have a broad range of influences -- rock, progressive, jazz, fusion, blues, pop. Generally, I like music that has multiple layers to it, where there are all sorts of weird and quirky things going on, even though you don''t really hear it unless you listen for it.
I hope you enjoy Dream of the Shadow Puppet, and take some of my other music in as well.
Thanks for stopping by.
Terry
