I would like to share with those of you who have not heard a most amazing piece of musical art. Eliane Radigue, an amazing woman, spent eight years creating her three hour long musical masterpiece called Trilogie de la Mort. This is simply an astonishing sonic meditation on death and birth, inspired by the Tibetan Book of Dead (Bardo Thodol). Listening to this gives shivers down my spine and lifts my mind to amazing heights.
Yesterday, at new years eve, me, my girlfriend and a couple of friends listened to this lying down in quiet meditation. On the table was a loaded GVG filled with a solid dose of Changa. Upon being ready with a deep state of mind caused by this music, my girlfriend proceeded to take two solid tokes. Upon breathing out the last hit her eyes went wide, her hands shaking while struggling to put the GVG down. She disappeared for more than fifteen minutes, and upon return she was crying, looking at us saying "Is it true?!". She had died. She had died and gone to heaven. She died into the new year and was reborn. "Over there", while entering this sacred space, she met hear dead grandma who was there to guide her through. My girlfriend explained that once she lied down after the second hit, her body completely dissolved and her mind left. She was convinced she had died, her body had dissolved like if it was put into acid. What an amazing experience to have while entering the new year.
Anyway, this great music should be bought on CD, but you can find the three pieces on spotify, and some of it on youtube. Here is the first part on youtube, and here it is on spotify. Eliane has lots of other great works, so please check her other stuff out as well.
If anyone else have great music like this, that is Drone music, please feel free to share other great masterpieces.
Happy new year, people.
PS: Not all will appreciate this music, I am sure. It requires you to really slow down your day and preferably lie down with a good sound system, or with headphones, to get fully immersed. It is slow, it is very delicate and is not for everyone. But give it a try =)
