vox_ritualis
An eclectic collection that runs the gamut from mystical introspection to choral exaltation. These imaginary arcadians seem to have led a spiritually unadulterated life, finding joy and transcendence within their own music traditions, customs & rituals...
Favorite track: Jahanna.
The Arcadian Collection 1992-2023
(Lāszlō Hortobāgyi-Hortator,1992)
Arcadia ? - Oh yes, even the ancient Greeks.
Probably because it was needed even then.
Somehow there's no Arcadia here. But if you look, you'll find it.
Like eL-Horto, however not in the past of Peloponnesus, but during the expedition leading to the depth of collective consciousness and its exhumation.
He also found an Arcadia that has nothing to do with the coveted but false vision of utopias, but rather with the world of the true nature of the human soul transformed into cultural rituals.
This is the otherworld, or gravastar world, which can be accessed by jumping chronosynchronously over the speed-of-light threshold or by closing your eyes.
At this moment the headspin somersault occurs (pycnolepsy - The Art of Disappearance), that is the discharge of the soul痴 gravity bubbles made up of hexagonal meme-structures) and immediately, we find ourselves in the world of Arcadia.
On the Arcadian fields, the withered bodies sing in supplication, their hands clasped in the sky and their eyes feverishly shining, waiting for the final enlightenment that will snatch them from the forced chain of possible rebirths (samsāra) in the corotation circle of galactic fields.
This can also be heard in the atomic flame light of the final bodhi state where, in the final incineration of all good and evil human souls, individual final bliss is realised and its paroxysm of souls bursting forth in the performance of Arcadian music and songs.
