Participation mystique refers to the innate human connection to symbolic and imaginative experiences. This symbolic realm exists before or alongside our ability to think analytically or rationally. The idea is strongly linked to projection, as these symbolic or mythic elements naturally extend themselves into the world around us—into people, places, and things, just like how we unconsciously assign color to what we see.

Participation mystique is not just a psychological concept, but an aesthetic principle – a lens through which we perceive art as more than just something we observe; it becomes something inhabited.

In artistic terms, participation mystique can be thought of as a dissolving boundary between the self and the image. In this perspective, any manifestation of art can be perceived not just as an external object, but as an extension of the viewer’s unconscious. Colors, shapes, and atmosphere resonate with inner archetypes – mythical, primordial, emotional – before the mind can name them. This is why abstract compositions can seem hauntingly familiar, or why certain symbols – like a spiral, a doorway, or a shady forest – draw out something ancient, deep, and unconscious from us.

AUDACITY

This music project is born from long solo guitar jams, recorded through a  RC 500 Dual Track Looper and mixed together in the simplest way possible using Audacity. To best capture the spirit of the session, no elaborate mastering happend; everything is done in the spirit of accessibility and simplicity.

OctaveOrange was created in 2022 and resulted from psychedelic-driven sound experiments with electric guitar, a simple effects cabinet, and the eponymous sound of the Orange amp.


Meditative, drone-heavy soundscapes, with noise elements and pretentious titles
