AI Overview

In his work "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," William Blake famously articulated that Lucifer, or the Devil, is not a figure of pure evil, but rather a force of unrestrained, Dionysian energy. Blake believed that Heaven, as a place of order and restriction, is in opposition to this Dionysian energy, which is found in Hell. This view contrasts with the traditional Christian portrayal of Lucifer as a fallen angel and source of evil.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Blake's View of Hell:

Blake saw Hell not as a place of punishment, but as a realm of uncontrolled, creative, and potentially destructive energy.

Dionysian Energy:

This energy, associated with the Greek god Dionysus, is characterized by passion, freedom, and a disregard for societal norms.
Contrast with Heaven:
.
Blake contrasted this Dionysian Hell with Heaven, which he saw as a place of order, restriction, and a focus on reason and morality.

Lucifer's Role:

In Blake's view, Lucifer embodies this Dionysian energy, a force that can be both destructive and creative, but one that is often suppressed or misunderstood.
"Better to reign in Hell..."

This famous quote from John Milton's Paradise Lost, about Satan choosing to reign in Hell rather than serve in Heaven, resonates with Blake's ideas about the value of freedom and self-expression. Blake believed that this freedom, even in a chaotic or seemingly "hellish" state, is preferable to the control and conformity of Heaven.

Who fucking writes like that ?

it hears everything. The result is pretty natural. It picks up my fingers touching the guitar a lot. I have to hover my hand so my dangling fingers dont sound like shitty little drums. This must be how a hummingbird feels when it's eating.

it picks up my voice. And it picks it up in that natural position where you're looking down at your guitar. Like I could be reading off of a chord sheet on the floor and my vocal is going directly into a condenser microphone. I turned up the Reverb and did Spanish Caravan. That is really cool. To be able to do the absolute most natural thing and it all gets projected outward. I have described my ideal situation before and this is almost it. I sure hope it works outdoors. Indoors it is satisfyingly loud before feedback starts.

Would never actually depend on this mic for the vocal but if all i had was this mic clipped to the guitar, i would feel heard vocally in a pinch.

Mic clips directly to the sound hole, little cable goes to the battery pack (w/ power switch and low cut), battery pack gets slung somewhere, XLR cable comes out of the battery pack. I will try to get some video of it going through a proper PA tonight.

Edit: walked around with the mic clipped to my shirt and gave a bit of a TED Talk. Now I know how that feels. Super cool

Edit: testing with pa wow i actually get to hear the acoustic come back at me instead of going away from me. It makes you play better. Did not take any video. It did turn out I shy away from treble and people like treble. It is nice. I play much more seriously, and with it clipped on your shirt you instantly talk more organized.
