Tasseomancy | A Take Away Show | Diana from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
This video is taken directly from Lady Lavona's Cabinet of Curiosities (I provide a link to her page, which I particularly enjoy). She's a source of interesting artists and jewelers and musicians and sorcerers to be sure, but rarely does anything catch my attention as much as this enchanting song. Tasseomancy is a sister duo, and I haven't been so moved by new music in quite some time. Their voices are truly stirring and there is a distinct air of magic and something dark and alluring. Apparently their music is influenced by death ritual, hebraic song, war drums, ancestry and myth. Combined with Sari and Romy's rich, at times airy voices, Tasseomancy sound like they come from another time. And the mandolin lends itself to this effect even more.
I have a feeling I will be painting and likely dreaming to this band frequently this season. This is the kind of musical discovery that keeps my heart light and my ears ever perked to the possibility of new inspiring sounds - even when the prospect of other current music makes me feel like "what's the use."
