About TeleMagica:

TeleMagica Art and Music Festival is an annual event in the pristine natural landscape of Jacumba CA, 1 hour East of San Diego.

TELEMAGICA 2010, "LUMINESCENCE: The Year We Ignite"
June 4/5/6, 2010
3 days/2 nights
TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW ON-LINE ONLY: $40 by April 1st, $50 by May 1st, $60 by June 4.
A GATHERING FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT THROUGH THE ARTS.

The Promised Land: a landscape without limitations, where you can hear and discover music and performance art on stages, as well as in a rock cave or on a high mountain peak. A beach-like sandwash where your campsite is part of an entire tribal village celebrating each other, the expansive fresh air, as well as the full moon & a million stars at night. This land enhances magic, and your silent understanding! Within the sounds, the sculptures, the pyramid and the WaterSight Mineral Spring Dreaming Tubs, you awaken your senses.... you will find answers to questions that have gone un-..answered..... This is more than a festival gathering, this is about discovering your next level of creativity, with other brothers and sisters counting down to 2012.

TeleMagica provides a stage for painters, sculptors, musicians, poets, photographers, film makers, performance artists, neo-vaudville, graf artists and creative ritualists coming together for exchange of ideas and talents, for connectivity and collaboration on projects, and for rejuvenation in a world where the support for the non-commercial arts has been evaporating.

This is our 7th annual... in 09 we joined and Aligned the tribes and in 2010, en mass we will IGNITE from within to create LUMINESCENCE, straightening our individual emanations to connect with the emanations at large...

TeleMagica is put on by The Institute of Perception.
The Institute of Perception and TeleMagica are dedicated to the Evolution of the human spirit through the Arts.

ORGANIZING SOUNDS

here is what we have been trying to work on for Telemagica:


60 DISEASES FOR AN OPEN WOMB
organized and conducted by magick orchids

"mystical states are those moments in which the Other, in its many forms, is absorbed into the One and the One is absorbed into the Other."
- William James


the whole piece is based on the ancient Babylonian myth of Ishtar, goddess of fertility, love, war and sex who descends into the underworld to bring back her lover back to life.

in this sound art performance piece we will be combining sounds smell visuals broadcasts, music, vocal performance and tape effects to configure and transform the space into an environment of shared experiences that delve into the realms of multi-sensory perception and performance.

we will conduct this performance in an enclosed space and each player will be positioned accordingly to their specific parts. the whole piece is divided into several parts. Each part will be outlined with an underlying theme that will correlate with everything else that is going on.

The performers will use different sound sources and situate each unit in specific areas to achieve a remarkable level of intuitive improvisation for their parts. Certain foods and oils will be heated through a certain temperature to evoke certain smells for each of the different musical piece.


players:

rhea, champ, josh crampton (luna is honey), isaac takeuchi (voice on tape, slumberbeast, cardiopulmonary), andrew felix (we dress good, sending service), oliver fritz kurt dammasch(deadArt, DRD, guppies) denise duncan (the transmissions, not so ghost) duck dongo (manhattan murder mystery),andrew lush (live video projections), dave aguilar (low end sounds) liz ngo (smells and oils), and st. paul (energy)

we are also trying to work out a video for the event with our good friend and filmmaker, josh clarkson.

there are four musical pieces that we came up with for the performance. a lot of them are minimal by nature but sounds are organized and layered depending on the positions of players.



piece no. 1 : SO SURREAL
(water, darkness, death, doom, despair, desert, dust, rusty gates, rocks, crying, wailing)

piece no. 2: BODY PIRATES
(fire, party, orgasmic, celebration, bacchanalia, orgy, hedonism, dance, anarchy)

piece no. 3: PEDRO ON A BIKE
(metal, plea, statement, platform, explanations, excuses, demands, hope, escape)

piece no. 4: GET YR EDUCATION
(earth, love, realization, redemption, resolution, return, illumination)

visual projections will focus on the underlying themes of each specific part and the elements referred to from the myth and everything will end with the wind blowing everything away...




(A PROGRAMME WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE PERFORMANCE.)

So Surreal

heres a clip of us playing at our house a few weeks ago...apparently we are not blessed with the best of cameras but we are lucky to have friends take footages of us regardless of the fact...great sax part from josh on this song called "So Surreal" which will be the first part of our sound art piece for telemagica festival. thanx charlene!
