Random Quote

It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.

-- Aleister Crowley

Music and Magik go together like sex and drugs!
For me Music IS ritual. The performance of it live, even more so.
I say 'music', but what I do is closer to chaos.

A rather excellent hardcore ambient internet radio station I came across recently is Cryosleep:

http://www.bluemars.org/cryosleep.php

Don't know if it would be any good for ritual, but it's superb for getting you into a state of suspended animation Smile

I have always tended to think that jazz is the perfect occult soundtrack. John Coltrane for example, particularly The Africa Brass Sessions, John Zorn's Masada or anything by Pharoah Saunders

The many fantasic recommendations on this thread have brought attention to bands and music I hadn't considered for ritual previously. Liking the vibe.
Khabs Am Pekht.

I would like to bring attention to another set of songs I'm applying to my magickal work that I think some here may like.
*links with pyramidos, a Scarlet Woman, and the season*
Konx Om Pax

Android Lust - Leah
Android Lust - Wicked Days
Android Lust - The Body
Android Lust - Refuse(acoustic)
Android Lust - Amnion*

*I dedicate this set to Alostrael.*

Reflecting and released in the LVX.



*edit* swapped Where Angels Lie for Amnion*

Is that some metal band called Lamb or the UK "Trip-hop" band? They had a song called Gabriel I seem to recall.

BlueKephra -

I was thinking about your response while listening to music and some songs stood out in the LVX. If trip hop pleasures you, you may enjoy the following set.
The magickal formula of this set is subtler than the previous offerings but as has been said elsewhere, those with ears can hear and those with eyes can see.
The music does drift into RnB/hip-hop, just a warning to those that may listen to this and are sensitve about such things.

*linking the formula of the Rosy Cross*

Lemongrass - Wings
Soulstice - Colour
Soulstice - Fall Into You
Soulstice - The Reason
Soulstice - Ebony Sea
Soulstice - Changes

*to Isa & Asar*

If people are interested in Ambient vibes Id recommend Tangerine Dream. In particular the Rubycon album of 1975. Its very dark in places.



Also Global Comunication 76:14 is about as deep and lush as you can get without drowning in a pool of kittens.

I usually play some esoteric/ambient/dark ambient music:

- Ain Soph (Italian band, not the Jap one with the same name) of which i recommend the albums "I", "II", "Ars Regia" and "Rituals"

- Rosemary's Baby , recommended listen: "Magia Sexualis" and "Love Songs"

- Early Current 93 stuff like: Lashtal", "Nature Unveiled" and "In Menstrual Night"

- Lustmord's dark ambient like: "Lustmord" and "Paradise Disowned"

I've experimented with many different musics, so here are some of my results.

Progressive music (metal,rock,otherwise) has always helped when exploring the Dayside of the Tree. Again, with progressive music, it is very solar in essence. The masculine quality immersed in a creative potentiality gives the mind a great juxtaposition that is easily reconciled in the depth of the songs. Genres like jazz and blues are excellent for understanding the polarities of the Sephiroth as they have wide ranging style's that range from polished, studio quality recordings to dirty, rough recordings full of soul. The same could be said about rock and metal and especially classical. Also, what is most interesting, is that Hip Hop factors in here too. Now I'm going to leave it up to the occultist to figure out where these are all placed on the dayside tree.
I began to notice something as I went through college I came into contact with more interesting forms of music. Composers like Stravinsky, John Cage, John Zorn, Verese, Sun Ra, and others that work in more avante garde and experimental settings had strange results in my more solar rituals. It occurred to me that they were dealing more with potentials than actualities. John Cage relied on the sounds of the audience during his 4:33. John Zorn constructs rhythms and pieces that are to be interpreted by the performers. If it doesn't go together, it's fine, it's about expression, or a creative potential. The medium is there to act in, and they fill it so full it is dizzying. The music, in this instance, is the Dark part rather than a solar piece that must be played in a specific way according to specific rules. So, I deemed music of this nature to be more attributed to the Qliphoth. Though I'm still working on this idea, the descriptions in Grant's Nightside of Eden give musical methods of invocation. These methods are not far off from the avante garde style.
As for ambient styles of music, I have had very strange results that I'd rather not but mention. It really depends, and I recommend meditating on the music or getting very familiar with it before using ambient music. The ritual could make the music have a totally different form since it leaves it so open. Therefore, it may be used for covering both solar and lunar workings.

Instead of writing a list of bands, I figured giving genre's and styles would assist and give a wider range of possibility to those interested. I collect music like some people collect comics and have worked extensively with it in my rituals.

I've been getting quite into drone based music also lately. I've been mainly using a CD called "Aural Holograms" which was released by a record label from Finland called Aural Hypnox. All of the Aural Hypnox stuff is worth checking out. They can be found here.

Being a club kid since I was 16 yrs old, I love to listen to techno while doing some magick. Especially during astral operations. BTW, if any of you in the U.K. get a chance to see "Koma & Bones" , you should go. They play really great Nu Skool Breakbeat.
