a music(k)al vision inspired to Apollonius of Tyana’s Nuctemeron as reported by Eliphas Levi

After the first edition of the Teatro Libero del Monte Nerone Festival in 2011, which began by building a small wooden house that is still going strong (as is the festival), I recorded what would become Elementaea, a tribute to the spiritual creatures of nature, by channeling music from afternoon until night.

In 2012 I decided to record its symbolic mirror image, from night to day with a symbolic twelve-hour take that I have synchronously rediscovered as an initiatory and transformative journey into the Nuctemeron of Apollonio of Tyana, as reported by Eliphas Levi.
This album is released exactly after ten years.
