Hades Playing Piano

"Hades Playing Piano" Music © 2007 by ROB ASTOR From the Release RAHU Heres a track based on a dream. My dreams come in full color, complete with plot and characters. The dream that spawned the music was mythological in nature. I was traveling with some sort of Greek raiding party into the Underworld. Our leader was going to retrieve the head of Medusa. We floated in a large wooden ship on the river Styx, passing through black marble tunnels decorated with gold, lit by flickering torches. We came to a sort of waterfall formed by steps and made our way down into the Kingdom of the Dead. At the bottom, I paused, separated from the main group, as I heard someone playing a sad and lonely tune on a Piano. I went into a chamber where a single shaft of light illuminated the figure of Hades, brother of Zeus and Poseidon, represented in my dream by Elton John, sitting at a black grand Piano playing this plaintive ballad. I wondered if it was music about his lonely vigil, of being the ruler of Hell, or if it was a longing for his wife Persephone. I was moved, witnessing something Id never heard about in mythological tales. Nowhere is it mentioned, to my knowledge, that Hades had any musical inclinations. I did my best to recreate the music of my dream especially for my RAHU release.
