Rainbow Serpent 2011 - Ascension Engine Review

ASCENSION ENGINE 2011 @ COSM DOME 

ZERO POINT (Darren Curtis) 2011 Set

Well Rainbow Serpent 2011 was crazy. Ascension Engine was stepped up to the next level by Scott Baker - visual and musical mastermind ! This year it was held in the COSM dome a 11 meter dome flanked by 4 small domes with Visual Art by some of the best Artists in the world including the Master of Spiritual Art - Alex Grey. His art flanked the celling of the COSM dome (named after Alex Grey's NYC Sacred Temple)

Friday night and Sunday Night was the 'Ascension Engine' my set came in after ABRE OJAS (Scott Baker) http://abreojos.net - such a amazing modular synth and Live Musical Synthesis of his new work 'Chakras' - check it and support his amazing work.

HERE IS THE DOME WE PERFORMED IN - COSM DOME!

2:30am Monday morning was ZERO POINT (Darren Curtis) 

PART 1: Musical Aspect

First was the use of Seb's Toriton-Plus: (Lazer Controlled Water Device)

http://little-scale.blogspot.com/2006/11/toriton-plus.html

So the lazer light was effected by the water and I used the power of breath to control different elements in Ableton Live, by effecting the wave ripples in the water which in turn modulated the lazer light. Thus this device was mapped to MAX/MSP:

Here is some pics of the MAX/MSP patch so basically I add set different mapping to trigger a whole array of samples in a organic way in 'Live' - most of this of this Seb's programming by the way (thanks) - but I do understand how it maps lol. and the bottom section is my own coding for triggering samples

I use frequencies attuned the science of RA see http://ramusic.com/ which is placing A @ 424 Hz

I also used binaural beats based on 2hz to 8hz - attuned to harmonics of 424 Hz 

I also did live Harmonic Toning. 

The adaption of the Live piece will be released on the upcoming CD 'RA'

Zero Point aka Darren Curtis - Australian musician & artist that weaves eastern and western influences to reveal the mystical soundscapes of supernature. via Live Laptop, controllers and mapping.

Through years of research his speciality of music works on the unique frequencies of supernature, through research found in many of ancient structures like the great pyramid in Egypt & Mayan pyramids. Through mapping new music patterns and chord structures a whole new electronic synthesis is created that is in harmony with the body.

He travels around Australia doing live music and visuals performing at festivals i.e. Rainbow Serpent 2010/2011, Reconnect 2010.

His wider style draws from the GOA Ambient, Chill, Techno, Electronica & New Age fusing these elements into new style of Electronic  Future Chill .

DJ Zero Point (AKA Darren Curtis ) Is 'Electronic Future Chill' > Ambient, GOA, Experimental, New Age, mystical beats.

On his journey he experienced mystical sounds of the 'Music of the Spheres'. The experience of nature and supernature came through in sonic & visual form and he attunes his music to the harmonic resonance of supernature, thus opening one into altered states of consciousness.

Also an expert with partner Bradley Pitt in sonic and visual immersion with full dome projections, animation, and collages he takes one into Higher Resonance.

Electroinc Future Chill

Electronic Future Chill will be drawing from styles like:

• Psybient - GOA Ambient +
• New Age - Interdimensional Music +

Plus ideas drawn from acoustic modeling, frequency modeling and sacred geometry.

• Archaeoacoustics -Musical frequencies modeled on ancient temples & nature.
• Mystical Sounds found from ancient cultures and those found in nature.
• Sonic manipulation based on natural resonance and supernature.

OVERVIEW:

• 1. Psybient, also known as ambient psy, psychedelic ambient, ambient goa, ambient psytrance and more commonly within the Goa/psytrance scene as psychillpsydub, is a genre of electronic music that combines elements of psychedelic trance, ambient, world music, new age and even ethereal wave. It often has many dub influences and can also sound somewhat like glitch. Psybient pieces are often structured around the concept of creating a "sonic voyage" or "musical journey". Although similar to psytrance's emphasis on maintaining non-stop rhythm throughout the night, psybient is far more focused on creating a vast soundscape that can be experienced over the length of an album, focusing less on beatmatching and allowing for a myriad of tempo changes.

• 2. New Age music is music of various styles intended to create artistic inspiration, relaxation, and optimism. It is used by listeners for yoga, massage, meditation,^[1] and reading as a method of stress management^[2] or to create a peaceful atmosphere in their home or other environments, and is often associated with environmentalism and New Age spirituality.^[1]

• 3. Archaeoacoustics is the discipline that explores acoustic phenomena encoded in ancient artifacts. i.e. the Pyramids of Giza, Mexico etc.

Here is a link to some of my research from Sacred Resonance http://www.sacredresonance.com.au/articlessr/ANCIENTGEO.pdf

• 4. Mystical sounds found from ancient cultures and Nature sounds.
  

ie. Ancient Tibetan Horn, Sounds from Space or say a insect sounds made into a electronic piece of music.
