Music for certain Rituals is a musical work based on some Orphyc Hymns chosen among the 87 short poems composed in either the late Hellenistic era. The poems, used in mystical rituals are attributed to Orpheus and they were a clear expression of how the Hellenic past was fighting for its survival, while the new Christian faith was spreading everywhere. The hymns are devoted to specific divinities as well as to cosmic elements and incense that was used during the rituals. Alongside the orficim hymns they were set to music two gold leaf tablets found in graves from Thurii and Hipponium giving instruction to the dead crossing into afterlife. Lastly, two poems of AIMA carry all these meanings in the contemporary world.

INNER - SPACE

This album takes me on a wonderful journey. As for my favorite track, I could hardly decide between 'ISAE' and 'Everything's about to change forever'. From my feeling I can already feel an immense progress compared to 'Cosmic Drone' in terms of the clarity of the sound. Thank you for sharing this album with us! <3 Horst Feldmann

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3 Horst Feldmann
