John blogs on both album titles
It’s been a long time since we have read a true blog post from John, not counting the departure one and the sales one. Probably since late January 2009. Therefore, it is more exciting to read one today – and it’s about what, at least according to reactions in comments and on the social web most of you have been trying to “decypher” – the mystery behind the PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone title and, to a certain extent, the idea of Letur-Lefr.
Each single word in PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone title is explained and John says that they’re representing his creative process. Here’s an excerpt:
Intaglio is a technique in sculpture where one works on the opposite side of the image, whereby the image will eventually appear to the spectator in relief, but the angle the sculptor works from is the negation of that. In music that I like, an approach analogous to this was employed, the more so the better.
There’s also a brief paragraph describing Letur-Lefr’s symbolism and revealing an interesting fact about the album’s last song, which a great majority of listeners appeared to like most, at least according to snippets.
Letur-Lefr for me signifies the transition of two becoming one, notably symbolized by the first song on the album being the sequel to the album’s last.
So, what do you think?
