i. Love Song for Anitae Carissima meae vitae, Accipe meas manus Claude tua lumina Dede te Tangēo te Tangēs me deseramus lustremus novas vias Una ad aeternum Tuā formā Habeō fidem Habeō spem Carmina Dulcia Anitae maria navigemus tempestatas toleremus Sequamur ignem caelestum Nostra fides dux sit Veni sub ponte mecum Sol Cum altissime surgat et conveniamus antequam deseramus Permittas me ponere oscula in pedibus Inde valeamus Lunā amnes adlucente adfulgenteque tua lumina Love of my life Take my hand Close your eyes Surrender I feel you You feel me Let’s run off And get lost Together Forever All of your beauty Brings me faith Gives me hope A love song for Anita We can sail the seas Fight through the Storms Let us follow the fire in the sky Faith will be our guide Meet me under the bridge And when the sun is at its peak And unite as one And before we leave Let me kiss your feet And share our goodbye With the reflection of the moon on the water Illuminating your eyes

ii. Harmonious Harlot Basium corvi pestilentiam fert. In tenebris cantamus clamamus Carissima meae vitae, Dede te Amor timorem Sense Tibi sumus venturi. (x3) Dei Ignis ignis mortis ardēte! Timorem Salvēte! Rex peccatorum, Peccatum caede! perde! Ululamus Caritas Dei mortis, The kiss of a crow plague it brings In darkness We sing we shout Love of my life Surrender my love fear Feel for you, we are about to come Gods of fire fire of death burn! Fear be well! King of sins, Sin of death kill! be destroyed!

iii. Phosphorescent Flame Nubes crinium lucem excludant Cave flammam, Placet tibi nigram mortem stillare in cor. quā caelum ardēbit. Currūs igneī terras ardebunt, Flamma caerula fiat, Et erit caeca bonis. The clouds of dust the light they will shut out Beware of the flame It pleases you that the dark death drips into your heart By which the sky will burn Chariots of fire the earth they will burn Flame blue it will become And It will be blind to good men.

ii. Mistress of Mistrust Liberā me Salvē me Exsolvē me lupis Me creavisti Non possum fugere Manebo cum timore Cum tu capis meos oculos Tune timēs quod videas? Inanitas? Morbi? Tuum furtum poterit meum, quod celabō salve. Set me free Please save me Release me to the wolves You created me And I can’t let you go So I will stay here in fear If you look deep in my eyes Are you afraid of what you will see Emptiness? A disease? Your secret can be mine I will hide it safe inside
6.
Carona regis Signum tui morbi Cor aureum ex argilla Vulpes pullus Sedet in sella qui potest esse liberus Solus in silvis, sub alta terra, Et meum odium tecum moriatur The crown of the king A symbol of your disease A heart golden Made from clay A wolf, dark Sits on his regal throne Who is able to be free Alone in the woods under the deep earth And my hate with you will die.

about

Everything we do is for the purpose of altering consciousness.

Inspired by mood, atmosphere, and cinematography from the likes of David Lynch’s, Twin Peaks , Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain and Nicolas Winding’s, Drive and Only God Forgives, Composer Nathan Felix set out to capture a hypnotic melding of colors and music for his choral symphony, Neon Heaven. Felix trekked through Mount Qingcheng in Chengdu, China for 8-months, writing daily as the mountains revealed echoes of monastic liturgy that provided his soundscape.

Sung in Latin, the recording then took place over a 5-day period in an abandoned warehouse in East Austin in the hot summer of Texas. Without air-condition and little light, the performers ascended to hallucinogenic levels of expression. Sounds on the record evoke a wide range of feelings, at times hinting of a dark Mendelssohn with other moments sitting in pockets with pop sensibilities.

Neon Heaven premiered live at SPOT Festival in Denmark in May of 2015. The album was released world wide in May of 2016.
