    La Noche de los Candiles 2016, día 7 de Mayo, Sábado .

    Almócita (Almería) Alpujarra Almeriense, a 40 kilometros de Almería Capital (evento gratuito)

    Organiza: Ayuntamiento de Almócita.

    Organiza: GH Records

    Desde hace ya algunos años, Almócita presenta inquietudes muy marcadas en relación con el Desarrollo Sostenible y la importancia que implica un elevado grado de concienciación que se traduzca en la voluntad de cambio necesaria para lograr una sociedad más respetuosa con el medio ambiente. Esas marcadas connotaciones ecológicas desembocaron en el año 2011 en la génesis de LA NOCHE DE LOS CANDILES. En su evolución como evento sometido a mejora continua, se llegó a la conclusión de que no bastaba con efectuar un apagón en la red de iluminación eléctrica y encender los candiles para lograr un alto nivel de concienciación – participación, había que ahondar un poco más y debía hacerse desde la perspectiva de recuperar aquella parte de espiritualidad e identificación con la naturaleza arrebatada a los seres humanos bajo el amparo del vertiginoso ritmo de cambio presente en las sociedades post industriales.

    Dicho con otras palabras, tenemos la firme creencia que de poco o nada vale decir que se quiere ser responsable con el medio que nos rodea sin sentirlo realmente. La música amplifica las emociones y es por medio de la música – ligada a una puesta en escena que se envuelve en un halo de magia y misterio- como pretendemos, en la medida de lo posible, rememorar nuestra verdadera idiosincrasia natural y espiritual. Confeccionar un genuino antídoto que recupere nuestra emotividad despertando el lado más humano, parte menoscabada del propio ser consecuencia inevitable del turbulento y alienado tiempo que nos ha tocado vivir. De ahí la importancia otorgada en el evento a temas de expresión artística como son el encuentro de fotografía, las representaciones con fuego, la interpretación o la música antigua y tradicional. Todo lo que acontezca durante esa noche debe establecer un paralelismo profundo con quiénes somos de verdad y por qué estamos aquí. Recuperar aunque sólo sea por unas horas, un sentido romántico y un recuerdo de que lejos de ser la máxima expresión de la naturaleza, seguimos siendo una parte intrínseca de ella misma.

    Coàgul – La Forja Centrípeta

    abril 25, 2016

    Coàgul – La Forja Centrípeta
    Label: Burka For Everybody – 30
    Format: Vinyl, LP
    Country: Spain
    Released: 31 Aug 2015
    Style: Industrial, Drone, Neofolk

    “La Forja Centrípeta” is a sonic support by which the listener can “forge” his or her spirit, going from the outside into the inside. It consists of five sonic spells, conceived and composed by Marc O’Callaghan in Easter 2014 between Barcelona and Picanya.
    The first four ones, which are contained in the fisrt side of the record, equeal to the four ages of mankind. But more than four ages in the historical sense of the development of human kind, in this case they are concieved more like four different states of being.
    Four possible stadiums in which the listener can enter by meditating on each spell. It begins with the most materialistic age, the iron age (which is the age in which we live today at this moment of history, aswell as the default state of being in which a common human lives these days); and ends ate the very core with the most spiritual age, the golden age. The length of each spell is in proportion with the mathemathics of the traditional division from the Vedic doctrine of the four yugas. The last spell, which occupies the whole second side of the record, is an incarnation of the new city, which is another name for the heavenly city of the New Jerusalem that shall descend unto earth at the end of the Apocalypse. Thus when the four ages are finally consumated, we are ready to enter the holy city, where all things are each one in its very right place and distributed in absolute cosmic harmony.
    The twelve stanzas of this long spell equal to all that is twelve: the zodiac, the precious stones, the fruits of the tree of life, the angelic typologies, the months of a year, the prophets, et cetera. The first side of this vinyl symbollically equals to the circular shape, and the second one equals to the square shape. So all in all, “La Forja Centrípeta” is a big sonic tool that can be magickally used to achieve what the hermetists rightly called “the squaring of the circle”.

    The whole five songs were performed by Marc O’Callaghan and recorded and mastered by Daniel Muerte during May 2014 at La Cova de la Bèstia, Barcelona.

    The Moon And The Nightspirit – Holdrejtek

    abril 19, 2016


    The Moon And The Nightspirit – Holdrejtek
    Label: Auerbach Tonträger
    Format: CD, Album, Digipack
    Country: Germany
    Released: 15 Aug 2014
    Style: Folk, Ethereal

    Since their debut «Of Dreams Forgotten And Fables Untold», The Moon And The Nightspirit belong to the most popular proponents between Medieval, Pagan Folk and World Music. With «Holdrejtek» («lunar sanctuary»), its fifth and arguably strongest album so far, the Hungarian duo makes its debut on Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions. On their latest effort, The Moon And The Nightspirit stay true to their style, which is coined by ethereal vocals, violin, acoustic guitar and percussion, yet appear more mature and diverse than ever in terms of composition and instrumental arrangement. Just like its predecessor «Mohalepte», «Holdrejtek» is much influenced by a deep veneration for and love of nature as far as its concept is concerned, while this time, mastermind Mihaly Szabo approaches the subject in a less romantic and more intellectual way. The lyrics are rife with the philosophical idea of simultaneous oneness and duality of micro- and macrocosm, which is attributed to Hermes Trismegistos and his screed «Tabula Smaragdina».

    Tracklist:
    1. Mohaszentély
    2. Égnyitó
