Sibyl's Cave by Jim Combs - Composer, Keyboardist and Guitarist published on 2021-08-18T17:45:34Z I sketched out a woodwind melody 2018 and put it away not knowing what to do with it. Almost 2 years later when reading Mary Shelley’s 1826 “The Last Man” I had the idea to write a “end of the world” piece and remembered the melancholy melody from 2018. Shelley’s book describes how in the late 21st Century the whole world is ravaged by a pandemic that sweeps across the globe (imagine that). Shelley states that in 1818 she discovered, in the Cumaean Sibyl’s cave near Naples, a collection of prophetic writings painted on leaves. Shelley's The Last Man is considered the first piece of dystopian fiction. Genre Atmospheric Rock Comment by Craig T Elliott Love this track! It paints the perfect lonely landscape.
