This conceptual album is designed as a private ritual audio installation. An acousmatic four channels piece for two hi-fi systems: It is an audio-set composed by two CDs planned to be played simultaneously. You could play and listen just one cd at time, or you could play both the cd's at the same time, using two differents cd players linked to two differents hi-fi systems, both set at the same volume, to create the four channels acousmatic piece, and open yourself to the phono-medianic ritual. This album must be intended as an acousmatic device able of expanding the ordinary possibilities of the private listening and it is presented in the form of audio installation experience for speackers and audience, in the key of the ancient necro-mantical mysteric cults.

Original Lyrics elaborated from the Etruscan occult ritual text “Liber Linteus Zagrabiensis”, "The Etruscan Liver of Piacenza", "The Pyrgi Tablets", and the Sumerian occult ritual texts called “Maqlu” and “Shurpu”.

Music for loudspeakers and audience:
based on atonal music and non-idiomatic improvisation principles, applied to a radical Black Metal approach, linked to authors such as Abruptum, Hellhammer, Bathory, Gnaw Their Tongues, Emit, Amaka Hahina, Moëvöt, Profane Grace, Astral Lueur, Black Pentecost, Darkness Enshroud, Sunn O))), Grauen Pestanz, Summum, Kranivm, Burial Hex, Flittering, Utarm, etc. Following the non-musical aural path of Beherit, Blasphemy, Von, Amaka Hahina, MZ.412, Havohej, and many more authors who moved from the borders of this sound paradigm.

Inspired by the Russolo‘s researches in his black Art of Noise; the sound spatialization studies of Karlheinz Stockhausen and his music theory; Edgar Varese‘s studies and his vision of “sound as living matter“, the non-objective and aniconic art of Tele.s.therion, is centered on polyphonic sound projections for immersive deep listening experiences, in order to unleash the auditory stimuli that allow the altering of cognitive-perceptual processes (pareidolia), to bring out imaginative and synaesthetic subconscious processes, the epopteia!

What we commonly know today as Black Metal, it’s just one of the possible forms available.

Tele.s.therion music program it’s based on the use of techniques and dynamics borrowed from musical genres such as Jazz and Rock, and thus from the practices of the radical primitive Blues that unites them, and that can be find ourselves in the original Black Metal music, introduced here as an interpretive key inside of a compositional and executive system linked to practices carried out by the fringes of classical, modern, non idiomatic, contemporary, and avant-garde music (with a special interest on the concrete and acousmatic process), sound art, improvised, atonal, black, dark and doom heavy metal, searching for the roots of the meaning of these terms, for their sonic phenomenas, their thought forms, before they became a music genre. What we commonly know today as black metal, it’s just one of the possible forms availabes.

It is necessary start to watch through the veil of this genre, with an upside down point of view, to discover its das unheimliche, to transgress the stereotopies and cliché, and design new possible forms whithin this musical dimension; to start a new auditory journey to the roots of Black Metal music.

The Black Metal's engineering its mutuated by its royal descent, which is derived from the practices developped in Punk and Thrash era, and it is distinguishable by a strong interest in the aesthetic theories, focusing on the physiological effects of special categories such as the sublime, which here become extra musical evocative suggestions, shock tactics, hard edged, transgressive and antiestablishment attitude, iconoclasm, etc. [...]

The TST compositional method, the sound matters was previously selected choosing the performers; the characters and the timbres of the sound bodies chosen for this acousmatic composition, are a unity with the personality of the author involved in the ensemble. Such as characters on the set of a movie, they play blind and alone, using a script and few essential indications. [...]

To keep this aspect of independence of each sound event, each author was called to perform himself, recording his own sessions separately, as a moment form, without knowing what the other authors involved will do. Each recording session, it's conceived and treated as a sort of whodunit, an event developed inside the "locked room mystery", a narrative approach conceptually transposed in sound art, where each detail it's a fondant clues of the acoustic scene, raw material that becomes a sound object per sé.
