about

“Al calare della sera, con torce accese, i pellegrini entravano nel cortile esterno del santuario. Una parte della notte era dedicata alle danze e ai canti in onore delle Dee della Natura. […] Le cerimonie si svolgevano all'esterno e all'interno del telestérion e si ritiene che gli iniziandi, con le torce in mano, imitassero Demetra vagante con fiaccole alla ricerca di Persefone. […] Seguiva una rinascita in cui l'iniziato si riconosceva figlio della Dea.” (Mircea Eliade)
"La suprema iniziazione [...] dischiudeva all'esperienza diretta dell' "unità di tutte le cose" e della morte-rinascita" (Angelo Tonelli)

Τελεστήριον [Telestérion] è un concerto "rituale" registrato presso l'Associazione Yoga Diamante a Camparada di Lesmo (MB) il 21 febbraio 2022. Il titolo si rifà al luogo sacro dei Misteri Eleusini, nell'antica Grecia, in cui si compivano viaggi in "mondi ulteriori" per riconnettersi al sacro.

-------------------------

“At nightfall, with lit torches, the pilgrims entered the outer courtyard of the sanctuary. Part of the night was dedicated to dances and songs in honour of the Goddesses of Nature. […] The ceremonies took place outside and inside the Telesterion and it is believed that the initiators, torches in hand, imitated Demeter wandering with torches in search of Persephone. [...] A rebirth followed in which the initiate recognised himself as the son of the Goddess.” (Mircea Eliade)
“The supreme initiation [...] opened up to the direct experience of the “unity of all things”and of “death-rebirth”. (Angelo Tonelli)

Τεληστήριον [Telesterion] is a “ritual” concert recorded at the Yoga Diamante Association in Camparada di Lesmo (MB) on February 21, 2022. The title refers to the sacred place of the Eleusinian Mysteries, in ancient Greece, where trips were made to “ulterior worlds” to reconnect with the sacred.

Ringraziamo tutti i nostri Maestri diretti e indiretti, musicisti, artisti e anime affini - incarnati o non più - e tutti i Popoli, Regni ed Elementi i cui Spiriti ci hanno ispirato, donato suoni, canti e che abbiamo voluto così onorare.

Un grazie particolare all'orecchio attento di Giuseppe Ielasi, all'arte mutevole di Enrica Passoni (sua la materia iniziale per l'art work), all'alchimizzare parole di Barbara Ghiringhelli e alla calda ospitalità yogica di Lorenza Corsini.

In ultimo grazie a tutti coloro che, con cuore aperto, ci prestano ascolto.

We thank all our direct and indirect Masters, musicians, artists and kindred souls - incarnated or not - and all the Peoples, Kingdoms and Elements whose Spirits inspired us, gave us sounds, songs and whom we wanted to honour.

A special thanks to the attentive ear of Giuseppe Ielasi, to the mutable art of Enrica Passoni (hers is the starting material for the art work), to the alchemical words of Barbara Ghiringhelli and to the warm yogic hospitality of Lorenza Corsini.

Lastly, thanks to all those who, with an open heart, listen to us.
