Beethoven: deny the mechanisms of linear time

Imagen
 - So I began to wonder about the reason for this: why Beethoven, heroic conqueror of new musical territory, suddenly showed such a radical involution, such an obsessive project of painstaking reconsideration of limited materials; (...) why he would fall in love with this way (...) of telling the same story over and over again; (...) - And it is a mystery, he continued: why this titan would resolutely invert the sponsored Western conception of progress as expansion: why he would defy our capital, Faustian, myth of more , to become so self-reflective, so damned introspective, (...) so circumscribed: trying to generate the infinite within a finite area; it is as if he had turned against the progressive notion of history and had thereby set out to deny the mechanisms of linear time...

 Relgneps Razalas writes about ∀ncƎstr∞Ƨ: “I have never seen an entity as sinister. Their thirst for rebellion and undermining of styles and aesthetic currents within metal surpasses all limits and measures of infamy... Their recordings and sound experiments are so rooted in the deep past of the style that neither theorists nor practitioners can unravel even a glimpse of their meaning and what lies in the depths of their proposal. ∀ncƎstr0s are the cosmodromic blasphemy... Their music leads you to radical delirium. The “Austral barbarism” (that's what they call the band) pays tribute to Lilith, the mother of abominations, she who reigns over dust and deep fog.”  ∀nȼƎsŧɍ∞Ƨ - Sᵾᵽɍɇmɇ ȺƀsŧɍȺȼŧɨøn Elliv Lem, Associate Professor at the University of Seville, Department of Ancestral Symbology, Cryptography and Strataanalysis (On behalf of The Swarm)

The Swarm

The Swarm is a body without organs. When a colony of bees is mature, it exhausts its space and prevents further growth. At that moment, a thought occupies the collective mind in a mystical and inevitable way: the swarm. The colony divides, guided by dark and inaccessible reasons: a percentage of the colony takes flight, accompanying the old queen to a place where they can start a new colony. The swarm seeks the outside, the break with the past. The swarm comes to dismantle the past. Its thesis is: “The dark drone returns.” The collective mind is guided by the idea of ​​hive, multitude, crowd, swarm, tide, legion, throng, mob, horde… The swarm-machine. The Swarm is a heterogeneous group or entity that after its dissolution/formation expands in time-spiral waves. It works like a micropolyphonic choir where the counterpoint of vectors launched outwards will determine the paths in search of cosmodromic blasphemy. Its sound is a hum dominated by an inscrutable logic. That hum is the voic...
