The Spooky Action At A Distance Ritual Tour will be coming to Chalice of Heaven Lodge in Chicago on June 21st and Leaping Laughter Oasis in Minneapolis on June 22. On June 23 they will be performing a live improvised soundtrack for the Gnostic Mass at Leaping Laughter.
Andrew and Justin from Spooky Action At A Distance discuss not just the use of music in ritual as a means of sensorial control, but also the creation of music AS ritual. We’ll be discussing and demonstrating the use of timbre, rhythm, and tone in assisting in manipulating the senses, how creating and manipulating music electronically can be a meditative exercise, and an examination of the attributions of musical notes with the paths on the Tree of Life.
After the lecture, Cleveland electronic band Spooky Action At A Distance will be performing! Using synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, and samplers, members Andrew Lent and Justin Smith weave live, spontaneous soundtracks around narrator George Sulea’s words, from dark cyberpunk tales to poetic prose.
