"Language of Red Goats", "Am Kha Astrie" and "Taiwaskivi" are now available for download and listening on Bandcamp. To be available later on Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, Youtube music etc.
Below is a brief background on the albums from an interview we did with Kerval in 2008.
"The trilogy can be viewed as a treelogy – a tripartite work in the shape of a tree, with roots, trunk and branches. "Language of Red Goats", the first part, is the celestial Lunar seed in the dark earthly womb that gives form to the roots, that spread themselves in the underworlds, in the nether realms, in cavernous depths populated by serpentine, slithering creatures. "Am Kha Astrie", the second part, is the trunk, the pillar that breaks the surfaces and planes, crossing the thresholds, and emerges upward, rising into this world – it is horns spiraling skywards, antlers ascending into light. "Taiwaskivi" is the branches of the tree, reaching toward Sol and Stars and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of those branches and their skybound nectar; the cradle of winged, feathered creatures - it is the Crown at the peak, the Heavenly Fire.
The works are also tree-faced in many other aspects: in relation to the seasons, states of being, and various other correspondences. Language of Red Goats is winter and dream and awakening. Am Kha Astrie is spring and birth and coming-into-being. Taiwaskivi is summer, life, death, re-birth, passing-into-new-being. The work as a whole represents an eternal spiral, a total transformative cycle of Life, Death and Re-birth."
