wirikuta: where the sun rises

*

"WIRIKUTA is the sacred place pilgrimage destination of the Wixarika people, who travel there every year to collect hikuri (peyote) and leave offerings. It is located (((near the historic city of Real de Catorce))) in the high plains of San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas. This territory has an extension of 140,212 hectares (1,402.12 square kilometers) and includes part of the municipalities of Villa de Ramos, Charcas, Villa de Guadalupe, Matehuala, Villa de la Paz and Catorce.

The plains and the mountains of Catorce comprise a place of incalculable cultural, spiritual and natural wealth that is manifested in a different way in each zone. Wirikuta is part of the World Network of Sacred Sites (UNESCO 1988) and is on the tentative list for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is an ecological reserve, a natural protected area and is subject to ecological conservation: The Natural and Cultural Reserve of Wirikuta.

Currently Wirikuta and the Sierra of Catorce are being threatened by toxic and devastating mining activity"

“if you can approach the world's complexities, both its glories and its horrors, with an attitude of humble curiosity, acknowledging that however deeply you have seen, you have only scratched the surface, you will find worlds within worlds, beauties you could not heretofore imagine, and your own mundane preoccupations will shrink to proper size, not all that important in the greater scheme of things.” daniel dennett

es de esas pelis en que queda totalmente prohibido ver el trailer. donde la ciencia ficción ofrece una gama de tonalidades tan humanas que a momentos es imposible impedir el nudo en la garganta... mueve.

This series tends to explore the infiniteness of the space that surrounds us, unveiling a reality that reminds us the lack of a time-line in the whirl of existence.

24 JUNE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY FOR TWELVE ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS ARRESTED IN SPAIN

2011-06-23T08:33:00.000-07:00

"On the morning of Wednesday 22 June 2011, 12 Spanish activists were arrested in Madrid, Asturias, Vizcaya and Galicia, including members of the organisations Animal Equality and Equanimal.

The activists were detained, and taken to Santiago de Compostela court, where they were accused of offences against the environment, public disorder, and criminal association. Many years’ worth of investigation and campaign materials were taken by the police from their homes, also computers and equipment.

These raids were ordered by the Judge from the Magistrate's Court, Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain, in relation to the release of 20,000 minks in 2007 from a farm in Santiago de Compostela. Both organisations deny having any involvement in these actions, although they do not condemn them either.

The arrests of these 12 activists represent a clear attack by the fur industry against animal activists for highlighting the horrors of a trade where gassings, mutilations and captivity-induced suffering of mink on fur farms are inherent and widespread. Both Animal Equality and Equanimal have been involved in investigating Spanish mink farms and have mounted successful public awareness campaigns on the fur industry over the last few years.

Friday 24 June is the day to show your rejection of these arrests.

We are calling for protests in front of the Spanish Embassies and Consulates in different countries, to join forces and show our support and solidarity for the detained activists. Anyone who is organising protests in their country please contact us, so we can update the information of protests being held. We will have a leaflet that you will be able to download, and more information about the activists will be released tomorrow. We must show our support, and that we are stronger than ever.

We have nothing to hide, and we will continue to give a voice to non-human animals; and to demand that they receive equal respect. We will continue to be the voice of the 50 million plus individuals who are killed each year for the clothing industry — all in the name of fashion – including the 300, 000 minks who are tortured and killed for ‘fashion’ each year in Spain." Animal Equality

"Juppala Kaapio is a project with a Finnish name and Finnish credentials, but not a Finn amongst the lot. The parties responsible are the husband and wife duo of Carole and Hitoshi Kojo (the former Swiss and the latter Japanese by birth), but Hitoshi in particular has spent a fair amount of time in the Finnish hinterlands, and had made an appearance on the recent Kemialliset Ystavat album Ullakopalo...

...Playful, fantastical, haunting, and thoroughly tripped out, Juppala Kaapio is highly recommended to any one keen on Jewelled Antler, Fursaxa, Taj-Mahal Travellers, Parson Sound, the freakiest end of the freak-folk spectrum, and of course the aforementioned Kemialliset Ystavat." aquarius records

lau nau & kuuppu • spinning on air session EP [2010]

"Lau Nau (Laura Naukkarinen) and Kuupuu (Jonna Karanka) are two musicians from Finland — that's east of Sweden, west of Russia, and home to the largest forested area in Europe. (Subsequently, it's one of Europe's most sparsely populated countries.) But independent, improvised music recognizes no governmental borders. Naukkarinen and Karanka are part of a global community of do-it-yourself musicians exploring the rich musical territory between song and sound.

And yet, you can almost hear a Finnish sensibility in their music. Maybe long nights, snow drifts, and deep forests are a suitable environment for the gentle wildness within.

This Spinning on Air session opens with Karanka performing a continuous suite: a sonic collage of vocal sounds, Bollywood samples, toy noisemakers and more, stitched together with digital delay, and shaped by her elegant way of balancing noise and lyricism. With her machines and materials spread around her, Karanka knelt on the studio floor, engrossed in the delicate manipulation of her tools.

Naukkarinen's set is more song-oriented. It opens with a traditional Finnish song, followed by "Lue kartalta," a playful romp you can watch her assemble before your eyes in the embedded video. Naukkarinen has previously written and performed her songs in Finnish, but she opens the next song with the line, "My friend, Nosferatu, your claws have been growing again..." She wraps up her set with a totally danceable ditty — pop music from another dimension.

It was a particular pleasure to be in the studio when, after both solo sets had ended, the two improvised a final piece together. They began with nothing, but ended with riches — an exquisite example of the way these artists engage sound and invite listeners to join them in their unique way of hearing the world." david garland

justin spicer razón tiene: "Unlike previous solo efforts, here Baker is flanked by a concentrated orchestra, propelling his demur drones into consonant and complete compositions. The result is an album of staggering growth as Baker explores the elegant side of drone and the filth of classical percussion and strings that not only established Baker as an innovator but as a inventive curator of drone and its many variants."

::: be with nature,
learn from it.
receive its healing touch,
its healing energy.
however,
it requires a stillness within you,
in other words,
a quiet mind,
in order to percieve the life,
the love,
the stillness
that is within nature
and human beings :::

A good friend of mine got a one way ticket to somewhere far away. These compilations is what I gave him as a musical companion. I wonder where he is right now, and where these sounds are sounding...

most recent release on the lichen label; all releases are hand-assembled by zach wallace in his native ann arbor environs and offer of a lovely wave of art-sound, field recordings, improvisation with natural non-instruments, and, in the case of this particular title, a pair of pieces by greg davis and zach himself on farfisa, distorted vocals, and bells.

the first appears to be a zonked “cover” of lamonte young’s “31 vii 69 10:26 - 10:49 pm munich from map of 49's dream the two systems of eleven sets of galactic intervals ornamental light years tracery”; with greg and zach howling in the moonlight over a bed of organ drones ; completely fucking amazing volume-oriented dronework that ends all too soon. re-cast the gongs of the original lps’s b-side for re-iterant, feldman-like bells and you’re close...

some of my favorite of greg’s recent work; and not even a shred of computer / dsp anywhere within. excellent. [mimaroglu]

akira rabelais • spellewauerynsherde
[samadhi sound, 2004]

::: when time and space conceptions are lost, no dimension exists. it's all-pervading light, infinite and eternal :::

*

"When Texas born Akira Rabelais found a handful of discarded Ampex tapes containing Icelandic a cappella laments - recorded some time between 1960 and 1980 - he decided to bring them back to life using his 'magic realist' code language. Rabelais writes software but likens the process to writing poetry. For him it has the same unpredictable outcome, labyrinthine meaning and constant surprise. He constructed the software Argeiphontes Lyre in the early 90s, a subtle sound processor that randomly distorts and transforms pre-existing sounds. It's a firm favourite of the likes of Terre Thaemlitz and Scanner.

The album has the air of an invented mythical past, with lengthy titles that seem like medieval biblical references - "1483 Caxton Golden Leg. 208 b/2 He put not away the wodenes of his flessh with a sherde or shelle" is about the shortest. Spellewauerynsherde is the third release on David Sylvian's Samadhi Sound label, and the first without input from Sylvian himself.

Graceful, sorrowful hymns are draped with swathes of haunting, echoing noise, like hearing funeral music carried with the wind through a storm. The subtle digital processing slowly transmutes the choral pitches, adding small delays, echoes and loops. He plays the role of a magus using his code as a spell to summon up a dormant spirit hidden within these graceful Icelandic laments. This is lonely, spiritual music evoking the solemn atmosphere of Eliane Radigue's Trilogie De La Mort, the memory music of Philip Jeck and the introverted romance of Sylvian collaborator Fennesz, Rabelais represents an elegiac strand of electronica that goes entirely beyond the plug-in craze of his contemporaries - the clicks, cuts 'n' glitch division that ultimately renders so much electronica similar sounding.

Spellewauerynsherde breathes sublimity through your CD player circuits." the wire
