It is not a question of reducing human knowledge to sensation, but of assisting at the birth of this knowledge, to make it as sensible as the sensible, to recover the consciousness of rationality. This experience of rationality is lost when we take it for granted as self-evident, but is, on the contrary, rediscovered when it is made to appear against the background of non-human nature. http://www.pt-r.com/News.asp?id=127 The twentieth century is, among other things, the Age of Noise. Physical noise, mental noise, and noise of desire - we hold histoty's record for them. And no wonder; for all the resources of our almost miraculous technology have been thrown into the current assoult against silence. http://www.pt-r.com/News.asp?id=110 20buckspin/ActualNoise www.20buckspin.com www.actualnoise.net <p>Finally some news from Actual Noise. The new CD by K11, aka Pietro Riparbelli, will be released very shortly. K11 is the nom de plume of the Italian sound artist Pietro Riparbelli. On his last release as K11, 2009’s “Voices From Thelema” (Aurora Borealis Records) Riparbelli visited the ruins of Aleister Crowley’s Thelema Abbey in Cefalu, Sicily, where he entered and proceeded to record and document signals and sounds coming through short-wave radio receivers. An instrumental trans-communication ritual, acting as a conduit for whatever spirits remain in the Abbey.</p> <p>Continuing with his interest in cathedrals, with the new K11 release “Metaphonic Portrait 1230 A.D.”, Riparbelli entered Assisi Cathedral in the Umbria region of Italy, not far from Riparelli’s hometown of Tuscany; the 1230 A.D. in the album’s title referring to the date of completion of the original cathedral. Audio was recorded in the cathedral’s lower basilica, the oldest area where the actual relics of St. Francis Of Assisi are kept.</p> <p>Again utilizing short-wave radios as his primary “instrument” Riparbelli has captured a haunting array of cavernous sounds, displaced signals and found ambience. With the addition of some voice and organ elements, Metaphonic Portrait 1230 A.D. sounds not unlike the recordings of experimentalists Philip Jeck and William Basinski under the influenced of Crowleyean Magick and Sacred Geometry. A psychedelic meditation from some medieval crypt captured out of time in the present.</p> <p>The numbers used in the songtitles are chosen with purpose, all related to the Gematria, the ancient system that assigns numbers to words and how they relate to each other. A video shot inside the cathedral by Riparbelli is included on the disc to give the listener a visual picture of the aging structure. As in all K11’s work, the themes of magick, religion, numerology and esotericism are present throughout this reverent document of aural mysticism.</p> http://www.pt-r.com/News.asp?id=108 http://www.pt-r.com/Events.asp?id=68 http://www.pt-r.com/Events.asp?id=66 http://www.pt-r.com/Events.asp?id=62 Kaula: new Black Metal project: Live set at Magazzino D'Arte Moderna_ Roma, during the exhibition openining by Massimo Bartolini via dei Prefetti 17.
