| Preparatory Altar for the 114 Sacred Stones |
The first
night Nov. 1 at 6pm will include a rare performance by Whirlpool [Kraig Grady Meta-Slendro vibraphone and Chris Abrahams
Meta-Slendro Pump Organ] of which subsequent ones are being planned . This and
subsequent musical performances will be based on 704 throws of the I Ching
thrown and recorded over the last 35 years by Kraig Grady. Each Hexagram has
been translated into a harmonic sonority and as each throw often involved a
hexagram changing into another this results in over 1300 chords that will be
sounded over the 7 days.
Instruments
will be on hand for others to participate as well and those wishing to engage
in the playing process are asked to contact us to arrange an appropriate time.
It takes a village to raise a puppet.
Alternating
with music will be an ongoing process of pouring of sand pathways in order to
connect the 114 stones that have upon them the symbols of the 114 sacred
Anaphorian signs http://anaphoria.com/minspirit.html.
The actual signs are only visible during such ritualistic conditions, yet the
correspondence between signs and meanings remain a closely guarded secret. This
does not mean that single signs and meanings have not been revealed for the
benefit of those in the present.
The
process required that preparation already began today [Oct. 18] with the building of an altar, made out of ruins
as required by tradition to prepare each of the stones at the Austronesian
Outpost of Anaphoria Island. Situated in Berkeley, NSW near Lake Illawarra
