A concept album based on the almost homonym grimoire created by Abruptum, transposed into a graphic score, used to record separately each improvisative's session involved, following only the music sheets during the performative actions as a common script, without any listenable refearence. All the following sound events emerged through the unisoning reproduction of these recordings, are shaped to unleash their spectral life in a psychoacoustic gestalt, capable of existing by its own, to project its living phántasma, until it's come here, live through the speakers, in its physical reality.

[…] a seminal transubstantiated form of what Venom already defined as Black Metal. Regardless of whether Abruptum have achieved it through a reasoned formula, born descending from a semiological perspective, of historical analysis of the language of art, or whether it was the instinctive, muscolar and subsisting evolution of a vocabulary forged in primordial rock 'n roll, Abruptum and few others pioneers who ventured into this evolutionary journey (to the sound of "recursive transgressions of the genre", i.e. the passage from Bathory, to Von, to Beherith, to Havoej, to Moevot for example), have caused the atomic constituents (the jazz and the blues) that defined the genre, exploded, and this allowed this new "form" to coincide with the "cultured" avant-garde modalities of electro-acoustics, the Art of Noises and "improvisation as a discipline".

Music for loudspeakers and audience:
Established in 2007 by two aesthetic operators, since the early years, from 2007 to 2011, the studies are focused into practices near to gloomy experimental electroacoustic music, and deep explorations into extreme drone and doom heavyness. In 2011 the duo split and becomes leaded by a unique composer, conductor and player, which over the years have involved authors from the most varied backgrounds and experiences, postulating the liminality as a framework of reference in the compositionional method. From 2011 to 2017 the research was more focused on the development of a conceptual definition of the black art of noise, defining a music theory able to run new compositional method's approaches of the music experience. A deep immersive ritualistic psychodrama, to design the audible and the inaudible. Based on the syncretic use of techniques and attitudes borrowed from musical genres such as Jazz and Rock, and thus from the praxis of the radical primitive Blues that unites them, and which can be find ourselves in the original Black Metal music, introduced as an interpretive key inside of a compositional and executive system linked to practices carried out by the fringes of classical, modern, contemporary, experimental and avant-garde music, with a special interest on the musique concrete and acousmatic process, conceptual art and the electroacoustic improvisation, atonal music, Dark and Doom Heavy Metal, applied to a radical Black Metal approach, searching for the roots of the meaning of these terms, for their sonic phenomenas, their thought forms, before they became a music genre. Non-objective and non-representational art. Absolute music for private and public polyphonic sound projections, through orchestras of loudspeakers, for immersive deep listening experiences, in order to unleash the acousma, the sensory phantasms that allow the altering of cognitive and perceptual processes, through pareidolic stimuli, in an aniconic drammatization, to bring out imaginative and synaesthetic subconscious processes, the epopteia.

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 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, MZ.412, Havohej, Wolf Eyes and many more authors who moved from the borders of this sound paradigm.

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. [...]
