These passionate tales inhabit a chaotic realm of memory, fear and desire confronting pained emotions. Synthesist Sam Rosenthal is joined by Swedish cellist Henrik Meierkord and vocalist Jon DeRosa.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Sam Rosenthal writes:<\/p>\n<p><BR>While planning the Kickstarter for <b>A chaos of desire<\/b> I wondered&nbsp;how to bring the 2022-era band into the past and involve us in the campaign. Inspiration strikes!!! We could record new neo-classical versions of tracks from <b>chaos<\/b>. I formed these recordings by reusing my synth parts from the digitized 1990 8-track master tape; Jon and Henrik added vocals and strings in their respective hometowns (Los Angeles &amp; Stockholm, Sweden). Then \u2014 like when I mixed <b>The Cleft Serpent<\/b> \u2014 I pulled as much of myself out of the mix as I could to end up with lush, beautiful, mournful versions of &#8220;A chaos of desire&#8221; &amp; &#8220;Could i stay the honest one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR>Jon and I tossed around ideas and thought it would be a wonderful surprise at the end of the campaign to give the band&#8217;s fans something entirely fresh: our reinterpretations of the past. We&#8217;re thanking everyone for their&nbsp;pledges which brought us to the funding goal; and thanking everyone who has enjoyed the band in the 31 years since we released&nbsp;<strong>A chaos of desire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The single will be at all streaming sites on April 15.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blacktapeforabluegirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Video-AChaosOfDesire.jpg\" width=\"90%\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hXltGlOhjU8\" target=\"BLANK\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>a chaos of desire<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><BR>Bandleader and synthesist Sam Rosenthal is joined by Swedish cellist and experimental musician Henrik Meierkord and vocalist Jon DeRosa, the latter known for his projects Aarktica, Dead Leaves Rising &#038; Pale Horse and Rider. With this line-up, their poetic and profound pathos has gracefully evolved to a minimalist trio \u2014 the subtle, dramatic interweaving of synth and strings is the ideal basis for Jon\u2019s expressive, sorrowful voice.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Blending darkwave, ambient and neoclassical, the unique character of this introspective and starkly compelling music seamlessly befits the lyrical despair. These two tracks are a captivatingly elegant addition to Black Tape For A Blue Girl&#8217;s 36+ year discography.<\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: April 15, 2022<\/h3>\n<p><BR><a href=\"mailto:sr.projekt@gmail.com?subject=Add%20me%20to%20the%20BlackTape,%20Projekt%20AlbumPage!\"><IMG SRC=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/Box-Blacktapejoinus2.jpg WIDTH=400><br \/>\nClick to Join, hit send, and I&#8217;ll add you to the list. &#8211; Sam <\/p>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00242%2F&t=Black+Tape+For+A+Blue+Girl%3A+A+Chaos+of+Desire+%282022+Serpent+Single%29+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00242%2F&text=Black+Tape+For+A+Blue+Girl%3A+A+Chaos+of+Desire+%282022+Serpent+Single%29+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00242%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARC00242.jpg&description=Name-your-price+on+Bandcamp%0D%0A+\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00242%2F&title=Black+Tape+For+A+Blue+Girl%3A+A+Chaos+of+Desire+%282022+Serpent+Single%29+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>SHORT:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h2 style=\"color:red;\">Name-your-price on Bandcamp<\/h2>\n<p><a href=https:\/\/blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com\/album\/2022-chaos-single TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":25370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[105,74,25,556,30,98,99],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-25369","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-alternative-rock","product_cat-black-tape-for-a-blue-girl","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-digital","product_cat-ethereal","product_cat-goth","product_cat-neo-classical","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/25369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25369"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=25369"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=25369"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=25369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
