musical alchemy

Step inside the telesterion, where sight and sound are married in a synæsthetic rite of death and transformation. Mystēs are invited to bring musical instruments, real or imagined, and become part of a constantly changing quadrophonic kaleidoscope. Explore the underworld and leave a gift for others who may hear your echoes for many moons.

 

⚕︎

waves reach you from across the void

feel them, let them wash over you

join them, let them flow through you

from the depths up into the light


☯︎

night falls, darkness reigns, the ground breaks open 

lay yourself down, close your eyes, open your heart

slip between the cracks, descend through caverns

towards the flame, to the other pole of existence


☽○☾

your voice calls you back from the distant shore

raising you up to rehearse a singular moment

lingering beyond the ebb and flow of time

before plunging once more into its waters


the moon rises, the earth spins on

night and day resume their dance

lovers locked in endless embrace

nobody knows what is shining
