The Apotheosis of The Pirate Bay

Heheheh~!
Not so sure how much credit I can take there.
The first comment at TPB:
Which reminded me of a trance CD I have - the band's name is "Apotheosis". Being as TPB has ascended into the cloud, never again to be molested by the fuzz, it seemed like a divine choice of words for a heavenly site that causes hell for the MAFIAA. :P

^The first time I encountered that word (it's a good word too btw) was in a musical composition called The Bewitched by Harry Partch. :-*
The impetus for The Bewitched came in 1952 when an undisclosed man approached Partch and asked him to “write a series of “backgrounds” for television airplane crashes, drowning, and murders in the park…” Partch was intrigued by the idea but perhaps differed in interpretation. These “backgrounds” or scenarios poke fun at the thought of doing such a thing seriously. Partch also gained inspiration from the dozens of musicians that flocked to him in search of something new. He called them “the lost musicians” and dedicated the first eighteen minutes of The Bewitched to them, their pursuit, and their subsequent discoveries. The third muse behind this magical spoof is, of course, the witch. Partch’s witch is not an evil, seventeenth century Puritanical idea of a witch. Rather, Partch goes back further to the “ancient idea of the benevolent, all-knowing witch” (Partch 334).
In the album notes Partch explains that we are all under some kind of spell. We are the products of our environments, cultural conditioning, and systematic brainwashing. While it may be impossible to completely untangle ourselves from such a bewitchment, pure experience and liberation can be found by breaking free into the moment.

'Apotheosis' was in the title of the eighth scene: A Court in its Own Contempt Rises to a Motherly Apotheosis.
Intriguing notion - a court, by its own behavior, finds itself in contempt of itself. Awesome! 8)

Note: if you're really into music you have to check out the work of Harry Partch. He didn't just compose. He created an entirely new musical universe with it's own 43-tone scale, unique instruments, notational systems, and performance criteria - all meticuloussly documented and discussed in his book Genesis of a Music.
It's well worth putting up with old mono recordings and crappy YouTube dubs to hear some what he created.
