Music is the auditory manifestation of something much bigger, something Other, the true nature of which is impossible to divine from its appearance on this plane as a feeble morse-code of pitch and duration. Too huge to hear, constrained by the limits of language, it is trying to say much more than our current vocabulary allows. My development as a practitioner has led me to use Music as a Gnostic tool with which to divine its true nature - the Secret Identity of Music - an ongoing task for over thirty years.
Track list
Magick, Music and Ritual 16 - Swansong 05:19
Swansong
(Hunger)
Swansong was the result of a meditation whilst watching swans in Norfolk. It has no ritual purpose, but I have sometimes used it as an aid to a certain state of relaxed awareness. It was recorded live on an electric guitar sent through a Digitek Digital Signal Processor, set to 1.8 seconds delay. So far as I can remember, it was recorded sometime in 1996.
Recorded in mono and at 44.1kHz.
This Is Not An Hermetic Library Anthology Album -3 - Swarm 11:09
Swarm
(Hunger)
Swarm was played and recorded live as part of a group ritual performance designed to summon Beelzebub, or some aspect thereof. It didn't work, so far as I am aware, but there were some interesting side effects. A bit bold and careless, I know, but I was younger then - I wouldn't do it now. Listening to the track in isolation should have no effect, harmful or otherwise, on the listener, but you never know. It was played on an electric guitar sent through a Digitek Digital Signal Processor, set to 1.8 seconds delay. The ritual took place in 1999.
Recorded in mono and at 44.1kHz.
