In Tenebris Scriptus

Uncle Aleister

October 12 will mark the birth anniversary of uncle Edward Alexander “Aleister” Crowley.

A pictoresque character that I don’t like at all, but back then I still created one of my photo-montages of him — featuring one of my sculptures, as usual — which was published in the ebook “The Weirdles.”.

The Weirdles

noreply@blogger.com (Andrea Bonazzi) — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 17:30:00 +0000

The Weirdles! Un ucronico scherzo psichedelico fra storia alternativa e musica possibile. Le mie illustrazioni si trovano in questo folle ebook italiano di Paolo Sista, che potete leggere e scaricare gratis da straniaeoni.blogspot.com.

“Cosa sarebbe successo se negli Anni 50 il rock and roll non avesse preso piede e fosse stato sostituito da un sottogenere del jazz, più ritmico e meno virtuosistico, denominato hot jazz? Negli Anni 60, al posto della musica leggera – e del Beat, in particolare – avremmo avuto la musica Exotica, un ibrido di jazz occidentale, ritmiche sudamericane, suggestioni estremo orientali. Allora il gruppo musicale che incarnò la rivoluzione del costume contemporaneo non sarebbero stato il Quartetto di Liverpool, ma un ucronico complesso formato da coloro che, nei decenni addietro di una Terra parallela, sarebbero stati i più importanti scrittori del soprannaturale e del weird: The Weirdles, per l'appunto. La penna allucinatoria di Paolo Sista e i fotomontaggi più strani del reale di Andrea Bonazzi ci regalano uno scherzo psichedelico fra storia alternativa e musica possibile”.

The Weirdles! A psychedelic uchronic romp blending alternative history and possible music. My illustrations are featured in this crazy Italian ebook by Paolo Sista, which you can read and download for free from straniaeoni.blogspot.com.

“What would have happened if rock and roll hadn’t taken off in the 1950s and had been replaced by a more rhythmic and less virtuosic subgenre of jazz known as hot jazz? In the 1960s, instead of pop music—and the Beat movement, in particular—we would have had Exotica, a hybrid of Western jazz, South American rhythms, and Far Eastern influences. In that case, the band that embodied the revolution in contemporary culture would not have been the Liverpool Quartet, but a counterfactual group formed by those who, in the decades prior on a parallel Earth, would have been the most important writers of the supernatural and the weird: The Weirdles, to be precise. Paolo Sista’s hallucinatory pen and Andrea Bonazzi’s photomontages—stranger than reality—treat us to a psychedelic romp between alternative history and possible music.”
