about

The winter solstice is the coldest time and the longest night of the year. All the leaves have fallen, nature sleeps, it is the moment of greatest darkness before the light returns. It is the rebirth, the first spark of hope that emerges from the deepest darkness. It is a waiting moment. Of withdrawal and meditation. It takes time to wake up to a new cycle after death. Life awaits the moment of rebirth under the earth. It is an auspicious moment to meditate on darkness. It is a time of attentive waiting in which we can observe ourselves and discover ourselves. A hope of rebirth trusting that after the phase of greater darkness the life that sleeps under the earth will be reborn, thus completing the cycle of eternal return. In this winter solstice ritual I intend to deepen some esoteric and philosophical theories through live sonic frequencies.
