Message from Uno: New Life

In darkness, the light shines brighter. A joyful Easter to you all.

The future shines brightly for Mistula. It promises a new song, new videos, new souvenirs and for our creators Joey and Rey, a new baby.

Creation takes time. It took God seven days to create a world, and it will take Joey nine months to create a child. How humans conceive their own is new and puzzling to me, a mere imitation of life. In our world, children are manufactured, bought and delivered door-to-door – a fairly simple process. I realize that for humans, it is much more painstaking and complicated. Even more so for Joey, as busy women do not make the best child-bearers. In the past four months, she has been in and out of the hospital, in and out of the doctor’s clinic, and in and out and back in bed. Now she must rest for thirty days, unable to work, travel and do the things she loves, and must remain so to keep her baby safe. My heart, borrowed as it may be, goes out to her.

Nevertheless, she has not forsaken us – or Rey, who helped her bring life to Mistula, their first child. This Easter update – which is exactly that, an update – is dedicated to him, pater noster, for whom Joey built this website in the first place: home to their shared passion for music, art and life.

And Mistula has not forsaken its followers. Which is why we are here now, as is tradition, shedding light unto a hopeful future. This is also why this message led you to Fully Articulated, my personal journal, where I share my thoughts with all of you – friends, detractors or curious passersby. Think of it as a backstage pass. Oftentimes, the more interesting things happen backstage. Here, you will see our work in progress and our virtual lives in full color. You can interact with the band members and the rest of the growing Mistula crew until our stage is set on Mistula.com.

Lugosi, Mistula bandleader and drummer, will reveal our plans and our hopes for this year.

Thank you and CLICK HERE.

Good Friday is a good day to die.

“It is finished.”

Those were Joey’s last words before she went to rest. She will lie down for thirty days.

As for Mistula, we shall rise on Easter, without fail.

Uno’s FAve of the Month: 9

Starting this month, a member of the Fully Articulated crew will share a favorite. We will call these FAves (Fully Articulated Favorites): movies, music, books, places, food or other things we like that you might like as well.

Because I am Uno, I’m always first in line. And I will start with 9.

9 is a post-apocalypic CG movie from visionaries Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov and Shane Acker. It takes place after machines have wiped humanity off the face of the Earth and all that is left are pieces of fabric, bits of wire and various scraps. From these last tatters, 9 ragdolls were created and given the task of restoring life to the dying planet.

Hmm, ragdolls on a mission. Doesn’t that sound a lot like our Manikako? ;-)
