Maximum Joy at Sameheads December 2024

Easy Listening - April 15

Luigi Di Venere returns with a bold statement of sonic exploration on his own imprint, Philoxenia Records, with the release of the EP, Spherical Waves. This five-track collection blurs the lines between genres, blending vintage influences with forward-thinking approach. The title Spherical Waves is inspired by the multidimensional essence of sound waves, conveying depth, fluidity, and motion—beautifully brought to life in the artwork created by the CGI artist duo muzzin+samiri.
The A-side kicks off with the title track, Spherical Waves—a tribute to the early ‘90s Frankfurt EBM/house scene. Electric guitars weave through bleep-heavy rhythms, creating an thick, high-energy atmosphere reminiscent of an era where electronic music embraced raw edge and experimentation.
Next up is By Means Of Music, a funky house gem infused with New Beat undertones and balearic warmth. Its infectious groove invites listeners to immerse themselves on sun-drenched dancefloors. The final original, Got Momentum, leans into the spirit of French House, driven by groovy, dynamic drums and uplifting melodies.
On the B-side Got Momentum receives a euphoric rework by the acclaimed Cromby, who adds a distinctly UK twist, elevating the track to peak-time anthem status.
By Means Of Music is transformed by Cycle_2—the dynamic duo of Budino and Torvvo—into a hypnotic, psychedelic techno journey, providing a darker, deeper contrast to the EP’s original vibe.

Far away in the heavenly abode of the great God there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out indefinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel at the net’s every node, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number.

There hang the jewels, glittering like stars of the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of the these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in it’s polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that the process of reflection is infinite (Avatamsaka Sutra - Indra's Net)

This is an excerpt recorded during the sound bath I hosted together with a naturopath on August 8th 2019 in Berlin. 
This bit features two wind gongs and one tam tam gong played as drums.

This is n.15 of our sound bath. The whole session includes shamanic drumming, voices, rattles and signing bowls. It is a theatre of frequencies absolutely improvised and aimed to well being.

Here you can read more about the effects on the brain brought by overtones instruments:
