Kobaïa, my lord, kobaïa
Magma is a French progressive rock band founded in Paris in 1969 by classically-trained drummer Christian Vander, who claimed as his inspiration a “vision of humanity’s spiritual and ecological future” that profoundly disturbed him. In the course of their first album, the band tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the planet Kobaïa. Later, conflict arises when the Kobaïans — descendants of the original colonists — encounter other Earth refugees. A remarkable aspect of Magma’s albums is that Vander actually invented a constructed language, Kobaïan, in which most lyrics are sung. Later albums told different stories set in more ancient times; however the Kobaïan language remained an integral part of the music.
Du store allverden.

Magma spilte altså i Norge fem dager etter denne posten. Ikke at jeg er lei meg for at jeg ikke dro.

Jeg tror ikke jeg kunne overvært noe slikt uten å få varig svekkede sjelsevner. Jeg tar virkelig ikke greia med å konstruere egne språk.
