It’s been a while since I have recorded any of my eurorack explorations, so I’m pleased today to share with you a new Elementare single! Conjunctio explores moments of assimilation and reintegration found within theurgic experience.
The term ‘conjunctio’ (also coniunctio, conjunction) refers to the stage of the alchemical process often referred to as the ‘sacred marriage’ or ‘chymical wedding’ of the king and queen, sun and moon. It is the moment of unity between body and spirit that brings about transformation and the cyclical nature of separation and conjunction that occurs throughout the alchemical process guides us through the sanctification of material form, as it is purified and brought into contact with higher planes of existence and divine being.
As with all my music, this track was recorded as a hardware-only live performance, primarily using a eurorack modular system, and presented with all its character and grit. The process of creating and rehearsing the track for recording has become a form of meditative practice in itself, an interesting and impactful example of the manner in which modern technology can assist with our spiritual pursuits.
The single can be downloaded gratis on Bandcamp and will be hitting all the major streaming services soon!
