Zelator Giorgio Sancristoforo 2022-02-23 | From the album Adeptus, available at Bandcampgiorgiosancristoforo.bandcamp.com/album/adeptusRituals of passage, esoteric societies, initiation, are the leitmotif of this collection of sound meditations that immerse the listener in a place where time flows differently, where sound surfaces build filamentary mosaics of imperceptible passages. At each step, initiation is an ever deeper immersion into the Interiora Terrae cited by Basilio Valentino, implied in the iconology of the Mons Philosophorum. In order to welcome the light, the adept must first know the shadow, this is why the Greek μύστης were brought into the basement of the Eleusinian Temple before receiving the light of initiation: to die and resurrect. This shadows gradually thin out like a mist that evaporates, allowing us to perceive the details of an inner world that only silence can reveal.Made with a (B)Arp 2500Dedicated to Eliane Radigue

Testing my new kithara lyre Giorgio Sancristoforo 2021-07-03 | I've designed this Kithara (cetra in Italian, cithara in latin) with CAD software and it was manually crafted by the Masters Luthier of Luthieros.com in Thessaloniki, Greece.For this design I've chosen 11 strings and a shape that vaguely resemble the lyre designed for the Nero's opera of Arrigo Boito, exhibited at the Musical Instruments Museum of Milan. The pegs depict the symbols of the principal bodies of the solar system plus our moon: a tribute to the Platonic and Pythagoric music of the Spheres.
