June 18th Show

I was in a show at La Butte St Jacques and it went well. Sophie La Pierre is my vocal coach and she put together a recital every one of the singers was very good. As I watched them all sing one after an other it made me think of doing a musical. The casting was at this time complete. Because of this show I have decided to write a musical stage show.


I have my own show at La Butte St. Jacques on Friday October 15th.

CD Review by Duncan delaMontagne

This review was posted by my friend Duncan delaMontagne.

http://duncantarot.googlepages.com/triskalia-myth,magickandmysteries

Triskalia released their Pagan-Alt Rock CD Myth, Magick and Mysteries in 2005. They toured extensively on the strength of the disc, performing over 60 shows and quickly became favorites at summer Pagan Music Festivals such as Echoes and Wic-Can Fest (where they were featured headliners).

Myth, Magic and Mysteries is a collection of songs front- man Lokigui (Jason G. Bernard) wrote in the Pagan paradigm in a variety of musical styles and on a variety of themes. It was recorded in the studio as a live jam in order to recreate the Triskalia live show experience. The collection includes Celtic-influenced songs of friendship and love such as Pixie O. There is the anthemic Maiden, Mother Crone (a Pagan Festival camp-fire favorite, particularly with the girls). Fire Dance is a traditional folk-rock love song with a lively lilt to it. The strong rock-influenced ballad Pagan Heart allows lead singer Lokigui to stretch his rich vibrant voice and set a new standard in the bardic tradition. The exceptionally beautiful and haunting hit single Avian has a dazzling bass prelude performed by Roger. Throughout the disc Flazz's melodic violin strains stir the soul and add eerie texture to the music. Miss Elodee's soaring vocals create unique atmosphere and compliment Jason's lead vocals beautifully. Myth, Magic and Mysteries is truly a witches brew, an eclectic blend, a daring fusion of diverse musical styles and influences, and Triskalia pulls it off brilliantly.

Tragically, lead-singer and guitarist Lokigui was struck down by a car and seriously injured in his hometown of Montreal in the spring of 2006, just as the band was planning to enter the studio to commence the creative process which would culminate with recording of their second disc. A year-long convalescence and recovery by the band's co-founder, most prolific song-writer and front-man set Triskalia back on its heels. Jason continued to write music during this very dark and difficult time in his life. He began a solo project (Accoustic Dancer) and penned perhaps his finest song to date, the poignant and evocative Louisiana. Triskalia reassembled in June of 2007 and went back into rehearsal at Lokigui's Montreal occult shop (www.suntarot.com) and made a triumphant return to the stage at three-day Echoes Fest at the end of that month. A new dimension was added to the band when bassist Eric Litinas came into the fold, freeing up Roger for lead guitar. Roger took Triskalia in a new direction, one true to his own heavy metal roots when the band finally returned to the studio to record his excellent new song, The Hours, in the fall of 2007.

What the future holds for Triskalia no one can say, will they record and tour together again, or will the siren`s call of successful solo projects take them their separate ways? However, whatever the cards may hold, Myth, Magick and Mysteries will stand the test of time as a brilliant musical legacy left behind by these gifted, visionary and magickal musicians from Montreal.

Eternity A song of addiction. :-(

Eternity:

A Song of Addiction

I can’t recall the light of day.
It’s been so long since I have gone astray.
Oh how, I miss the sun’s bright glow.
I was turned, such a long, such a long time ago.
And now I shun all that is bright.
All I have left is this long dark night.
Oh how I am wearied.
Oh how I ache.
I can never escape.
This darkness around me.
And now it is time for my long, long sleep.
Deep in the earth my shell to keep.
For a thousand moons, or maybe years.
It’s the only way to escape this eternal fate.
Oh sleep sweet, sweet, sleep
Oh I can’t go on.
No I won’t go on.
I can’t recall the light of day
And now I shun all that is bright.
Oh how, I miss the sun.
I was turned such a long, such a long time ago.

Local Band Triskalia
Local Band Enchants with Myth, Magick and MysteryCD Review: Myth, Magick and Mysteries Local Band Enchants with Myth, Magick and MysteryBY Kindra RavenMoon Triskalia is a Montreal-based band that has been around since 2004. Band members describe their music as "Celtic Fusion", although personally I like to call it "Celtic Ethereal". Their music is folk rock, new age ambient, smooth & sultry with acoustic and heavy bass tones mixed up into the cauldron. Their themes include love and fantasy, the good with the bad, based on myth, magick and mystery. Triskalia's members are Jason Bernard ("Lokigui"), Ryan Higgins, Roger Lymburner ("NightWing"), Marc Antoine Lebeau ("Flazz"), and Elodee. Lokigui, who is Triskalia's front man, has over 25 years of musical experience behind him, and has specialized in playing various forms of stringed instruments: His favorite is still his rhythm acoustic guitar, a B-15 Norman 12 string. Loki uses a variety of vocal ranges and tones; his unique vocals and rhythm guitar combination give Triskalia their signature sound. When not playing or touring with Triskalia, Lokigui is the owner of SunTarot www.suntarot.com (one of Montreal's occult shops), where he is a professional palmist, astrologer and tarot card reader. He is also the founder of the Montreal International Folk Festival. Ryan has been playing percussion since the age of 14. He started his music career playing with the alternative band "Black Sugar" and then during the late 90's went on and started his own thrash metal band. He has also worked with various other thrash/death metal bands prior to joining Triskalia. NightWing has been playing bass guitar for about 23 years now. He began his formal musical training at age 8, playing classical piano. Prior to Triskalia, NightWing played with Ryan in the "Aaron Amadeus Band". Outside of his musical life, NightWing is the current Vice-President, Canadian Affairs, for AREN (Alternative, Relgions Education Network) International Inc, a member and teacher at the Spiritual Science Fellowship (SSF), and a Reiki master. Flazz was the winner of the Bardic competition at the Awakening Isis Festival in 2004. He has been playing the violin for over 30 years now. His main influences include flamenco and jazz. In 2002, Flazz released his first solo album entitled "Flazz". Triskalia have played a great number (52) of venues over the past 2 years and have come a long way as a band. In comparison to about a year ago, their coordination and timing are now very much more in sync whereas in the past they at times were lacking harmony during some points of their live performances. Also, Loki now has more of a rapport with his audience compared to the past where it was almost non-existent. An example of this would be when the band used to just go up and play their set then get off; the music was still very good but a certain ambiance and energy was lacking due to failure of eye contact and verbal intervention with the audience. I am very glad to say that Triskalia has much improved on these minor faults and they, as well as their audience, benefit from it as a result. Triskalia have recently had a minor change to their line up: The original line up included keyboard/vocalist Elodee whose angelic backing vocals (and also lead on a few songs) made Triskalia's ethereal-underground sounds jump out just a little bit more to kiss your eardrums. This slight downsize in Triskalia's line up will most definitely affect changes in their tone for their next album and upcoming shows but I have no fear that their music will still catch you off guard just when you thought you had them figured out. Triskalia's debut album, Myth, Magick and Mysteries, is available at Sun Tarot (5403 Parc Avenue, Montreal) and online at www..triskalia..com

Kindra RavenMoon is a non-Wiccan witch who has been practicing for over 15 years. She has also taught various occult subjects and feels that everybody has something to learn from each other.

CD Review: Myth, Magick and Mysteries
BY Taras
Myth, Magick and Mysteries 13 tracks, ~38 mins by Triskalia (2005)
With a name and title like these you might already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the music on Triskalia's first CD, Myth, Magick & Mysteries, and for the most part this guess would be accurate. The music is primarily Celtic in flavour with Middle Eastern accents, most of the latter coming from the percussion section. As far as cultural fusions go, this one is fairly popular, so the question becomes: what makes this different from any other such album? Certainly the sound mix is not as pronounced as a larger budget would have allowed, but some fiddling with a graphic equalizer will probably help you work around it, and that exercise in itself should be quite rewarding, because it will reveal what the instruments are doing in each song. Although the songwriting and arrangement are not revolutionary, the overall music does have an individual flavour, so you do get the feeling you're listening to something a little bit different. In particular the presence of an electric bass instead of the customary additional acoustic string instrument means that there is a sense of propulsion and modernity to the music, and so contemporary pop influences crop up in the music once in a while. Although there may not be an overall definable Triskalia sound that emerges over the album, this is one of those debuts that works best without one. What does come through in every track is a sense of the joy of performance, with the musicians making it clear that they had fun producing this music, so again there's a sense of energy present on this album that often lacks in "traditional"-sounding releases. The primary area of improvement for Triskalia would seem to be the lead vocals, which are usually performed in a nasal half-mumble reminiscent of David Byrne (Talking Heads). It makes the listener feel there's a lack of confidence, as though the vocalist were trying to hide behind the instruments, which is a shame because one loses the words and it tends to hold the songs back a little bit, particularly in Maiden Mother Crone which has the music and lyrics of a celebration but never quite makes it that far because of the restrained vocals. On the other hand, when the vocals are performed in a relaxed and loose manner, their sense of fun matches that of the rest of the players, and that's when Triskalia's potential is fully realised. Myth, Magick and Mysteries, is currently available at Sun Tarot (5403 Parc Avenue, Montreal) and online at www..triskalia..com. They perform at the Montreal Witches' Ball.

Taras is an avid audiophile and Montreal writer of many things, including the ongoing story Baker's 12his online column www..wyntergreene..The Teddybear Sawdust Show, and a novel in progress titled The Brotherhood of the Silver Cross.

Iron Maiden show in Montreal


Went to see Iron Maiden tonight. Wonderful show 8 out of 10. If the sound was better a 10. These guys seem to care about what they do. Too bad modern tech can't give us all hesd phones to really capture the sound during a big show. Big venue shows give you the excitment of it all, but sound is always a problem.

Lokigui's Big Bad Car Accident. and its unfortunate effects.


I have not posted on my blog since early March BECAUSE I was hit by a car on March 23rd and died. Well almost I was in the hospital for 70 days and am now comining out of what has been the most horrible experience of my life. This accident has cost me my business, my girlfriend, my living and my joie de vivre. Things are getting some what better. The worst has been losing my girlfriend. Maybe I will get a song out of it.

Studio Inclement Weather

I am at the recording studios of the McGill Conservatory of Music. Bistra Radoslavova Ivanova is kind enough to record and mix my Inclement Weather track. It is the click track. Ryan Higgans and myself laid the drum track and guitar track. I still need the piano track Phil Bech and Bass track.Then its the final voice mix and master. Should be in the can by March 1, 2006.

Lokigui's "Acoustic Dancer"

Nov 5 podcast

I have been writing recording in the rough and modifying my songs for a while now. I expect to be in the recording studio around Samhain time and finished by Midsummer. This is my first pod cast featuring songs that will be on my upcoming CD Acoustic Dancer. I came across a few Pagan pod casts and felt I would give it a try. I introduce the CD with a melody line from Slayer “Dead Mans Mask" under my spoken word. This song is consistent throughout the podcast. First song is Inclement Weather, Second is a song called Pixie O’ I wrote it for my friend Jacqueline who is a Fairy a delightful Fairy. The third song is called “Green Man” which will be featured in an upcoming documentary called “Pagans”. The song is a circle chant. Fourth on the play list is a song featuring my band Triskalia. This song was one of the first songs I wrote. It was significant for me when I wrote it and continues today to be a valid feeling about the Craft. It is called Maiden Mother Crone. It is a worship song for the triple Goddess. I hope that you enjoy this podcast and do feel free to share it with others if you are so inclined.

I very much would like to hear any comments you might have by signing my Guestbook.

Inclement Weather - by lokigui
This song is not Pagan in particular. It is about polagamy. I wrote it because I was in an open relationship. At the time every one was OK with the concept, but much to everyones surprise it brought up very difficult emotions for every one. I had to chose between my first relationship, who was not having an easy time of it, and my other. I was not ... ( Go To Performance)

Inclement Weather at # 5

Triskalia, Myth Magick & Mysteries. CD

On line review:
Guitar, strings, and drums make a traditional and catchy alternative Pagan band sound with Celtic roots. It's earthy music whose vocals are also very interesting--the male lead always sounds traditionally bard-like, and the subject matter skips around to many Pagan subjects like magick and mythology. Based in Montreal, Triskalia is made up of some very talented artists, most of who do or have done other musical projects as well. Give them a listen.
