What is it all about actually?

OCCULT USA: THE PROCESS CHURCH OF THE FINAL JUDGMENT


Featuring
GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE as the "Sacrifist," Timothy Wyllie, Adam Parfrey, and The Sabbath Assembly band performing original Process Church songs.

Was The Process Church truly "one of the most dangerous Satanic cults in America"? Or were they an intensely creative apocalyptic shadow side to the flower-powered '60s and New Age '70s? Scores of black-cloaked devotees swept the streets of New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, and other cities selling magazines with titles like Sex, Fear, Love and Death, and a controversial theology proposing a reconciliation of Christ and Satan through awareness and love. Marianne Faithfull, George Clinton and Mick Jagger participated in Process publications, and Funkadelic reproduced Process material in two of their albums.

The inside story of this legendary group has at last emerged with Feral House's
LOVE SEX FEAR DEATH by Timothy Wyllie and other former members.

To celebrate the recent release of
LOVE SEX FEAR DEATH, Feral House, Process Media, and Soundatone present a simulation of an actual Process Church “Sabbath Assembly” ritual.

A Touch of Evil

or BOTH SIDES OF USA IN JUST ONE DAY

Yesterday was indeed an amazing day...

MAINSTREAM AND GLITTERS IN THE MORNING: we were invited @ the Wendy Williams Studios where a friend was guest (a typical american Talk Show - a very funny one actually). A SHINY SIDE OF AMERICA?


THE DARK SIDE OF THE SPOON: then on 3 PM begins the rehearsal with The Sabbath Assembly, a project in which I am one of the singers (D' you remember Polanski's Rosemary's Baby????? Sort of...)

Actually a project on the shadow side of the flower-powered '60s and New Age '70s.... grrr SCARY, isn't it?! 
THE SHADOW SIDE OF AMERICA?

Well, hmmm... has anybody put some LSD in my cup of tea?

ALIVE is VERTICAL

I've found the perfect sentence (thanks to a great thesis I've found on the net The Metaphysics of Music at Schopenhauer and Cioran written by Ludmila BEJENARU) to express the way I feel each time I play music
No need for words
It is pure abstraction
I have some visions sometimes
and sounds too
Sounds and visions
I haven't the words
I never have the words
I've never had the words
Those words
These are the words:

"THERE IS NO ART BESIDES MUSIC THAT EXPRESSES AN IDEAL ASPECT OF WILL, THE WILL ITSELF IN ITS PUREST ESSENCE"
Arthur Schopenhauer

... I guess I should read more about that guy...
