From the Old Testament stories and related older accounts, we
learn the origins of the Grail and it's symbolism. One of the
first of these is the 'Cross within the Circle' or the 'Mark
of Cain'. The creation stories, like Genesis, Enuma Elish and
The Epic of Gilgamesh, chronicle a visitation by a race of Gods
called Anunnaki who had intermingled with the earthly people
to create a race which we call Homo Sapiens, as pointed out in
the books of Zecharia Sitchin.
This music follows the source of these events
with the use of allegorical harmonies, resonances and modes which
come out of the musical instruments and artifacts discovered
in places from the dawn of the first civilisations like the burial
grounds of old Mesopotamia. These 'Gods' introduced the power
of music and sound in their Sacred rituals and it is from these
that we can find a link into a transcendent realm. Maybe today,
we will be able to understand the potential of sound to levitate
objects, as described in recent Tibetan rituals. The 'Phoenix
and the Fire-Stone' track on this album recreates the first part
of this levitation fully described by Henry Kjellson in the 1930s.
Much of this music on the album uses scales, harmonics, instrumental
tuning and modal forms that were created some 5000 years ago
but which were, subsequently, banned by the Church in the Middle
Ages.
We are now currently able to examine many
hitherto hidden elements in sound and music. We have the opportunity
to go behind the veil of these unique elements - not lost, but
hidden away somewhere in our subconscious genetic memory - and
to reaffirm their value in today's environment. How heartening
it is to learn that some of our most advanced scientists are
now realising that the previously perceived 'vacuum' of space
is actually filled with what they term 'exotic matter', and that
some of this vibrational and resonant energy is available for
our beneficial use on this planet.
