Feuerbeschwörung by Cartismandua

Musical arrangement for the fire ceremony of the “House of the Holy” Festival, solstice 2024.

Crafted as the “Feuerbeschwörung” (incantation of the fire) to invoke the solstice spirits, the deep heartbeat of the mountain serves to drown out the sense of self before fading into a warm, dense pool of never-ending cosmic background noise, allowing the fire's whispers to emerge.

Woven into it are years’ worth of field recordings & voices from the core of Neudegg Alm.

The heavily layered electroacoustic composition is intended to immerse the listener in sound, disorienting the controlling sense of observation and dissolving the ability to follow distinct auditory cues, aiming to aid in letting go completely and reaching a deep state of meditative comfort, as basis for true introspection.
