THE TELLURIC SINGER. VOLUME II. PYRENEES
The awakening of the snake
The recordings made with Xavier Jaumot, in a cabin in the middle of a forest in the foothills of the Pyrenees, were a 3 year long experience involving intermittent trips from Barcelona to an almost monastic retreat. This total isolation allowed us to delve into the lethargy of the snake and its slow awakening.
Late into the night, Xavier and I, using keyboards and our voices, summoned the spirit, the emotions and the sensations of this sacred animal, the guardian of the most profound feelings from the heart of the earth. Sometimes, after chanting we would get up, hug each other and greet a non-existent audience that would have attended our soul emptying ceremonies.
In each chant, the images and profound poetic meaning are expressed through energetic fluctuations of the vowel sounds without fully pronouncing the words. In this way, the hidden message of the buried snake’s monologue is revealed.
Let’s celebrate that these valuable testimonies that were the basis and foundation of telluric music will finally see the light of day.
Chant 1. I remain serene
I remain serene,
wrapped in my thoughts
and buried in my earth
ere space and unity
are one and the same thing
