Deep Story #106 | der Auftrag | Jøris Belzin

Today's guest Joris Belzin from Berlin has been around a lot and
has already made some dance floors of the republic shake. With
his experience and creativity he is the perfect artist to reach
into his colorful track box for us and create the next deep story
musically. He fills the imagined world of the shepherd of
Kerberos with melodies and thus brings the short story of Simon
Rucker to life.


The hall was long. I could remember a lot. Once before I had been
in there. Kneeling before the king and his family. Feigning
humility. Putting on an unholy act. It had been my ceremony. My
appointment as shepherd. Just now it was different. The audience
was empty. At that time they had been full. Cheering people.
Raging mob. Today they were empty. Only the king and his right
hand were in the hall. And I, the king's shepherd. Two meter high
torches illuminated the hall. The corners disappeared in the
darkness. One on the left, the other on the right of the royal
platform. The right hand whispered something in the royal ear.
The king ordered me to rise. His words were very simple and
unambiguous. For one month I have time.
