Resumen del Editor

Phantastes Audiobook by George MacDonald,

with musical interpretations of the poems and songs therein by Nick Harper

Written by George MacDonald in 1858, Phantastes is acknowledged as the first modern fantasy novel for adults, inspiring Lewis Carroll, C.S.Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and David Lindsay amongst others.

The book tells the story of a young man's quest for meaning in the forest of fairyland, who awakens a marble lady from sleep by singing to her and his adventures thereafter, as he pursues her.

I first read the book as a 17 year old, whilst living on the edge of a real ancient forest in the UK, learning to play the guitar, whilst pursuing a local beauty who lived on the other side of the forest..

Re-reading it now, I have been reminded how much of a profound effect this strange little book had on me all those years ago. The antiquarian, dense Victorian style only seems to heighten the esoteric nature of its allegories, mysteries and wonders. More surprising and moving is how much it seems to have resonated in my life and music down the years..

Love to you all. Nx

Come for the GMD, Stay for the ... David Bowie?

Now, here's a wild-eyed miracle of an audiobook. I've waited forever for a Phantastes performance I could love (and tried and failed to convince myself I did love one). As soon as I heard the sample, I thought, hey, this could be it. The reader is quiet and unassuming, but intelligent and spellbinding. And then, the story's songs are performed in a folk rock style, near Bowie's sensibilities to my ear, and I was beside myself. Actually, many times it called Labyrinth to mind, if Labyrinth were full of goodness and hope instead of camp and repulsively grotesque funkiness (sorry, David, I still love you). The songs are fantasy-rock magic, and especially because the reading parts are so understated in comparison with the rock and roll interludes. Is it fully in the spirit of George Macdonald? I think your mileage may vary on that question. But as a concept, as an interpretation, I think it's wonderful. It's opened up the world of Phantastes for me anew, and I've only heard the first couple of hours so far. If you're brand new to Phantastes, be prepared for a tale so episodic some find it tedious, but be patient and you may be enchanted. If you're already initiated, give this a spin. You'll know soon if the music parts work for you.
