“You are relaxed, lying down in a darkened room – eyes closed, your mind quiets and the sound begins – it pours through like an enveloping shower. The tones gradually become a familiar place where ethereal images and ideas flicker, then solidify. Trusting the experience you let go and the sound seems to dissolve. You couldn’t describe this space – yet it’s familiar, a personal awareness that always was slightly out of reach. Gradually it ends – an experience as varied as your consciousness.


Pythagoron brings you to a different place.


Phytagoron is not just music – but sound controlled with electronic precision to alter your awareness, to get you high. Developed through years of research into the resonant interaction of sound and brainwave patterns, Pythagoron sound is unique in concept and production.” (Machine Music)

Une copie 16mm sera présentée au Cinéma Blue Sunshine (Montréal) ce vendredi 14 octobre à 20:00


The Sorcerers (1967) by MICHAEL REEVES

‘Le deuxième des 3 films réalisé par Michael Reeves, le regretté enfant prodige du cinéma britannique décédé d’une overdose à l’âge de 24 ans, The Sorcerers n’a peut-être pas l’impact viscéral du chef-d’œuvre Witchfinder General (1968), mais est quand même féroce et original. Boris Karloff y joue un vieux scientifique de Londres vivant dans la pauvreté avec sa femme et rêvant d’une percée pour sa technique d’hypnose. Cherchant un cobaye, il met les mains sur Mike, un jeune homme malheureux, (Ian Ogilvy, ayant apparu dans les 3 films de Reeves) et bien sûr, les choses dégénèrent. Londres à son meilleur, pleines de mini-jupes et de boites de nuits, que la réalisation maîtrisée de Reeves transforme en un rêve éveillé et labyrinthique de violence, ouvrant la porte à vague d’horreur post-Hammer des années 70.’ (Cinéma Blue Sunshine)

SMITH’s drawings are vibrant, esoteric, beautiful, and inspired diagrams that hearken back to the tradition of alchemical art of the seventeenth century. While invoking memories of such amazing drawings, his work also goes beyond and extends this tradition. (Occult Of Personality)
