Help Me Pick My New Albums' Theme
I'm using the power of the Internet to select the theme for my next recording with my band, Septology. I started this band with the idea of using a septet to perform seven part suites, and started with the seven days of creation, which was released on the album, In the Beginning. I've also written and performed suites based on Jonathan Lethem's seven short story collection The Wall of the Sky, The Wall of the Eye and H.P. Blavatsky's seven principles of man.
I'm getting ready to start working on a new recording with the group, and am trying to pick the next theme, but am having a tough time -- I need your help! I've narrowed the list down to seven that I'd really like to do, but can't pick one, and I'd like to hear from you. I'll also take any suggestions you might have that aren't on the list, but I'll mention only that I'd like to stay away from a biblical theme, Jonathan Lethem, or a philosophical concept -- things I've already done. So here is the list of seven sevens:
- Seven Lucky Gods exist in Japanese mythology
- The number of basic principles of the bushido
- In Guaraní mythology, the number of prominent legendary monsters
- Seven Articles of the Constitution
- Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
- Harlan Ellison's short story collection I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
- Seven Archangels - more from occult/magic information than Judeo-Christian background
