A mantra for "calming" the energy of Rahu.
There’s an extended version and a simplified one.
The extended version is still too complex for AI to render perfectly on an image, and I don’t want to piece it together in Photoshop the old-fashioned way (it’s not that I’m lazy—it’s just that my standards for the aesthetic look of images have gotten too high).
So, for now, the extended mantra for Rahu is just in the text like this:

Om Bhram Bhreem Bhroom Sah Rahave Namah.

The simplified version is on the image, and it’s better to start chanting with that one. Ideally, do it on Saturdays, repeating it 27 or 108 times. I also placed a sigil of Rahu on the Moon. Why "calm" Rahu’s energy?
Answer: To pacify Rahu’s chaos and channel its energy into creativity.
I’m planning to first create an instrumental version of the track, followed by a second version with the mantra chanted over it.

In the teaser for "Rahu," you’ll hear my new bass sound.

How I Created the Bass for the Track
You won’t believe it, but I crafted the main rhythm—a "five-beat" (1+2+2)—by tapping a wooden stick on a 6-liter water jug. Then, in digital format, I processed the sound and altered the waveform to give it that muffled house vibe. The result is a low bass with the depth of a dungeon and a slight snap retained from the plastic. I also banged on a cast-iron skillet lid, and for the finer percussion, I drummed my fingers on an empty plastic beer bottle, tweaking it electronically afterward.
It fits the saying: Those who want it find a way. Now, I’ve moved beyond an FM bass setting borrowed from Culture Beat—I’ve got something truly my own. Amid these experiments, I went on YouTube yesterday to listen to some guy playing an acoustic bass guitar. It was unbearable, even though he knew how to play. His strings buzzed against the frets on almost every note. I nearly roasted him in the comments, wanting to write, “For fuck’s sake, tighten your strings properly so they don’t flop around like laundry ropes, and file down the frets where needed!” But I held back and left. I think I was just jealous of Rahu—that guy at least has a bass guitar, and I don’t. Still, I’ve got a solid bass sound. What’s more important in the end? That said, an acoustic bass guitar is on my wishlist—it’d let me create way more intricate and complex melodies. I also want to record the sound of blowing into a glass bottle to make an instrument like a seashell. Yesterday, though, I couldn’t find a single glass bottle at home (if I drink beer, it’s in 1.5-liter plastic ones). I listened to Indian conch shells on YouTube, but they sound too powerful, almost like a trumpet. I’m after a gentler, more refined tone—like blowing across the neck of a glass bottle. I’ll get to it later. Lately, I’ve been finding music everywhere. My neighbor was drilling something with a big drill in the evening, and instead of getting annoyed, I listened to the after-ring as the drill came out. I thought, “Cool sound—could record it and throw it into some industrial house.”

What do you think of this bass sound? The instrument’s ready, and now I can use this unique bass whenever I want. ✍ B. K., Ukraine, April 6, 2025
