octurn ventures into the authentic universe of ritual chants of tibetan monks from the gyuto monastery _ the gyuto monks practice a special overtone chanting technique commonly known as “the voice of tantra”: the sonic experience is fascinating and seemingly timeless, even for the untrained ear _ the score written for the musicians of octurn originates from these hypnotic states of mind _ through these rituals, octurn discovers a highly sophisticated culture and ancient philosophy that today is threatened by extinction _ the chanting monks, even in this hybrid musical environment, still succeed in conveying the authenticity and profoundness of their journey toward ultimate enlightenment _ sound offerings are an integral element of the tantric rituals performed by the gyuto monks, but outside of their monasteries, they chant for the freedom of tibet and of all living beings _ by sharing this state of extreme consciousness with an audience unfamiliar with tantric practices, the gyuto monks aim to exorcise the negative forces present and raise the conscience of the world _

Danse du feu

Lorsque vous êtes absent, de petits êtres malfaisants à l'apparence inoffensive sortent de leur cachette pour mettre le désordre dans votre maison ou votre appartement.
Ils saccagent tout par pur plaisir et peut-être même qu'ils ont tués votre adorable petit chat...

When you are absent, some little evil creatures apparently inoffensive come out of their hiding place to make a mess of your house or your appartment.
They destroy everything for their pleasure and maybe they kill your  little kitty cat...

Cela me fait penser à Benny Hill se vautrant (pas celui dans le père Goriot) sur le sol ou tapotant le crâne du petit chauve!

It make me think about Benny Hill falling to the ground or taping the old bald man on the head.
