“Half Sick of Shadows” by Parlour Trick (2013)
Edit : Oct 2013
“Half Sick of Shadows” (The Parlour Trick’s first official music video) stars the enchanting, world-renowned dancer Rachel Brice.
“Deep gratitude and support to the hundreds of Kickstarter backers who made it possible to create this piece as well as The Parlour Trick’s first full-length album, A Blessed Unrest and a wide assortment of related materials.
Huge props to all of the wonderful people who collaborated on “Half Sick of Shadows”: Adam Lamas, Bryan Shelton, Devon Devereaux, Brien Hindman, M.S. le Despencer, and Star St. Germain.
Especially big snorgles to “A Blessed Unrest” partner Dan Cantrell, who composed the haunting piano tune that eventually evolved into “Half Sick of Shadows”, and to Rachel Brice, its shining star. Danbot and Bibbles, you are, without a doubt, two of the most fiercely talented creators I have ever had the opportunity to work with and I am endlessly inspired by you both.
Gratefully, ghostfully,

Ancient Egyptian music notation
“From a set of 6 parchments described by German musicologist Hans Hickmann in his 1956 book Musicologie Pharaonique, or Music under the Pharaohs, as dating from the 5th to 7th centuries C.E. Colors are presumed to indicate pitch and size to indicate duration. Writings on the parchment are in Coptic with indications like “Spiritual Harmony” and “Holy Hymn Singer”. This manuscript had a profound influence on Egyptian composer Halim El-Dabh’s music notation and paintings when he discovered a reproduction in Vogue magazine in 1952.
Note: I wasn’t able to locate these manuscripts and couldn’t find any reference to them online, but they are presumably in NY’s Metropolitan Museum collections. This image comes from Theresa Sauer’s book Notations 21, Mark Batty Publisher, USA, 2009.”
