Agartha, Personal Meditation Music is a 7 CD boxed set, originally released on cassette in 1986, at the height of New Age, as an aid for meditation and alignment. Bringing to mind 20th century composers like Eliane Radigue, La Monte Young or even Brian Eno's Shutov Assembly, the time-stopping, enveloping, electronic music contained in this series sounds eerily modern, mysterious and moving. Characterized by deep analog drones, rising overtones, floating frequencies surfing on sine-waves and intervals with mystic modulation, this is truly moving, vibrational music.

In Agartha, the individual notes of each Harmonic Triad proceed in a fashion that is neither improvisational nor chance-based, nor is it generative. Instead the music flows outward as if being transmitted— or channeled — from a place outside human consciousness. There is a profound sense of cosmic depth expanding ever outward as the music fills the listener with waves of emotion, and a palpable somatic response is felt, although there are subtle differences with each unique Triad. 

Each disc is individually packaged in original replica sleeves and housed in a
heavy duty cardboard clamshell box. Digitized and remastered by Jessica Thompson. Liner notes include extensive instructions for use from the original text and an essay by library music scholar David Hollander.

The original edition of Agartha, Personal Meditation Music, featured one track
30 minute track per tape repeated on both sides. Subsequent editions had unique Side B tracks on all but two of the 7 volumes. We have included all tracks in this boxed set.

2nd single from our forthcoming new album
סינגל שני מתוך האלבום החדש שיצא בקרוב

במנהרות של הרכבת הקלה
בצינור ניקוז בחוף גבעת עלייה
עם מיקרופונים ומכשירי הקלטה
רעש זר פועם בעלטה

כל מצב מידע הוא
מרווח, מרחק, תנודה
הד

מחיפה, מירושלים, מברזיל
בתל אביב מחתרת הצליל
עם מגברים ואקורדים פתוחים
תדר דק חודר ברווחים

כשיתחילו לירות גוף
ירעד, יקלוט, יחצה 
גבול

THE SONORITY CABINET VIII: a collection of strange, rare and unusual pieces of music from ancient and contemporary times, brought together as a 'cabinet of curiosities', often mixing the glorious sound of Oosthuizen's historic organ with new, electronic textures. 
Our previous editions include the Mass (2013), Gothic (2014), Fun (2016), Love (2017), Dream (2018), Time (2019) and Magic (2023). 
Michael Bonaventure (1962, Edinburgh) is an organist and composer whose passion lies in unusual and experimental music and the blending of organ with electronic sounds. 
In this year's edition, The SECRET CABINET, Michael performs works by Erik Satie, Loo(p)cy (aka Lucia Caiazza), Adrian Foster, Frédéric Inigo, Geoffrey King, Luiz Henrique Yudo, as well as his own music and a selection of pieces from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.

THE SONORITY CABINET VIII - The SECRET CABINET (Live, Oosthuizen, Netherlands, October 2024)

This album is the culmination of an ongoing exploration of musical and sonic concepts, including mutation, evolution over time, generative patterns, sampling and re-sampling. Several tracks from the album have been performed, presented, and utilized in various formats, such as concerts,
performances, or installations-either in their entirety or specific sections.

The six tracks represent the distilled essence of a creative process that commenced in 2020, characterized by continual iteration, variation, and the transformation of formless clusters of melodies, harmonies, or mere textures into somewhat finished compositions.

Each musical piece has been a companion to me for an unusually extended period (something it rarely happens in my process). Much like features in a landscape, these tracks have shaped a geography of memories, places, and fleeting moments over an exceptionally prolonged time in my life (with some, like Bancal, tracing back to 2014). Consequently, the personal and emotional weight they carry is significant and necessitates being acknowledged to make room for the new and unexpected.

In Valencian, "una geografia temporal" translates to “a temporary geography."

Production Grand performed by Joris Holtackers using 87 and Ribbon microphones plus recording noise and additional processing (such as eq, reverb, compression). Here the recording noise is quite pronounced and the mechanical sounds of the piano are heard.
