The Absence of Machina

RenegadeExcerpt from "Renegade" by Muse en Lystrala
Lorien awoke in his tiny, dank cell. His wings shed feathers constantly, his skin was dry, his lips cracked. How much longer he could survive in here, he did not know. He was fed and given water, and a place to sleep, but so enclosed, he knew he would die.
A sound echoed in the distance. Lorien sat up, alert, ready for anything that might approach. Footsteps. A light. Lorien's mouth dropped open, hanks of dirty hair falling into his eyes. The door opened. A female figure entered, dressed in white. The white light she carried in her hands Renegade

The InevitableThe Inevitable by Muse en Lystrala
Inevitably, one who conveys a truth they believe will
be called a liar, and crucified.
A mirror will be broken; a spotlight shattered;
a messenger shot.
Truth will die, belief will be sanctified only to fall.
And her face, beloved of gods but damned by men, will wither, and like ashes, scatter.
For you, my beloved martyr, will change the world. Your vivid soul will burn too fast Your face will sear the eyes of men as they fall, enraptured by your touch.
All I am, I have given to you. All I was, The Inevitable

GuardianGuardian by Muse en Lystrala

Guardian, silent and true I brought my light, but could not see true you left me to guard me, regret not our fate but leave me to dream in your wake
The silent protector the strong survivor you came to my chamber to guard me from harm you saw the danger your love held in sway and so you left, that painful day
Song of the guardian, to you I sing my heart coats with frost, the fire stings you left me to save me, regret not your fate but leave me to dream in your wake
Eyes like the forest Guardian

I'm Muse. I'm an electronica musician and classically trained vocalist. I also enjoy drawing and playing with programs like Fireworks and Photoshop.

I work occasionally as a photographic and artists' model.I'm a freelance writer, and I write for Nocturnal Magazine ([link]). I also just finished my first novel and am working on a second. I am the street Team captain for goth rock band Bella Morte (look at this [link] for more details), and right now, I'm working on going to school for music in England in 2010.

If you like, check out my music at [link] (dark electronica, ambience, and vocals). You can also follow me on Twitter at [link] .

It has been a very busy year artistically, and there is so much more yet to do.

I will be playing two shows in Providence over the next month, both at its premiere indie venue, AS220. For details of these shows, please go to:

Some of you know that it is an ambition of mine to study the arts in Europe. I already have my eyes planted square on a school in the southwest of England, and...well...this is going to be a righteous challenge.

What you can do: If you're in the area, hit up the shows and support not only me but other local artists carving out our niches! If you're able to, donate a few dollars to the project to keep it going and help with my application fees (there are a LOT). When the store comes back up, buy ZIP archives (there will be a sale throughout December!).

Beyond that, the most important thing you can do is spread the word. If you like the music, tell people about it. Post it on your blogs, bulletins, anywhere. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your support during the four and a half years I've been doing this project - you have all been great!

In the realm of production, keep an eye out for the a capella EP, The Absence of Machina, in late December - and also a new track between me and artist Era Nocturna - you can find her right here on VampireFreaks!

Thank you all for your support,
Muse
