primitiva

Oracle Column is a newborn multiform ensemble, conceived by Andrea Rusconi and Devid Ciampalini, which contemplates psychedelia, ethnic and concrete music, inspired by the inexhaustible lymph of free jazz. It consists of electronic textures of synthesizers and magnetic tapes, and a heterogeneous slot of acoustic instruments. Currently they have collaborated with Ariel Kalma (sax, mini sax), Pietro Santangelo (sax, flutes), Mario Marino (tabla, African percussion, transverse flute, gong), Matteo Lenzi (vibraphone, tam tam, temple block, cymbals), and Luca Ingrassia (voice), recording improvised sessions later rearranged and manipulated. The name of the band takes its inspiration from the columns of the ancient Masonic initiations, archetypal symbols of the 'crossing point' that rise at the gates of sacred and mysterious places. Also called Jachin and Boaz, they are one of the most recognizable symbols of the Brotherhood and represent the balance between two opposing forces, an important timeless symbol with an esoteric meaning. Their musical perception represents a door through which a common vision can flow, a sound ocean protected by the Keepers of the Infinite. Already active for years as musicians and composers, they have both ranged between genres and sub-genres, publishing for various labels including: Sonic Meditation, ZamZam rec, Yerevan Tapes, Ikuissus, Canti Magnetici, Kohlhass, Troglosoud, Les Diks qui Sautent, Neguse Group, Vaatican, Heimat Der Katastrophe, Crash Symbols, Hive Mind Records, etc.
