Au début on se disait que le vidéo ‘Lucifer’ du groupe Behemoth augurerait de façon remarquable le weekend de l’Halloween. Les jeunes allaient adorer (peut-être même intégrer l’idée du blanc vomis à leurs costumes?). Ça c’était avant la mise en ligne de ce vidéo sur sunn o))), plus tôt cette semaine. Le son dans l’eau c’est beau. Nous évoquons la pièce ‘Hell-O)))-Ween’ de leur l’album White 2 (2004) comme nouvelle accointance contextuelle.

The Empire of Death
A Cultural History
of Ossuaries and
Charnel Houses


Paul Koudounaris
2011






























‘This is not a book about the macabre or death. It is a book about beauty and salvation.’

‘The idea for the book was born in the reception area of a Czech hostel. I had spent a day in Melnik, where I visited an extraordinary charnel house in the crypt under the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul. It was gritty and dirty – decidedly not sanitized for tourists – but the arrangements of the bones showed genius, not just in formal artistic principles, but also in their understanding of philosophy and theology.’

“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)
