thank you! i finally had time to figure out how to hear this and it totally sounds like it should have a herzog voiceover talking about cave-dwelling glow worms and their mating habits or something. also reminds me of ernst reijseger a little now that i think about it. anyone know what/where the picture on the cover is?

No idea. Spooky music!

ok good i thought i was being a chicken
it sounds more like lost souls than people at one with the earth

I Am At One With The Earth - And It Is Totally Freaky

Who are the singers?

Well it looks like it's Vocals – Anni Morris Wieland, Bettina Fricke Waldthausend*, Dieter Prym, Florian Fricke, Friedemann Berger, Friedemann Wieland, Gisela Von Doering, Ingeborg Jahnke, Jan Lorck-Shjmerning, Jana Faust, Karl F. Weber, Klaudia Wieland

wait -- "song of the earth" is "agnus dei"?
i have googled and found nothing about this release that i understand fully

It's the same tune, yes. He was fond of it and who can blame him? Interestingly, or maybe not, some of this reminded me of, respectively, Stockhausen's "Atmen gibt das Leben" and Cornelius Cardew's "The Great Learning", both of which were composed for choirs of "amateurs".

love cardew

and thanks for the upload CtC

^ yes, thanks -- while listening I felt like I was doing dishes in the catacombs.

Pleasure

I wish that I could read/speak/understand German, but I don't. Relying on google translate has, as usual, produced nothing but pure gold while trying to understand what is going on here http://www.popolvuh.nl/archsounds1971
this is just the first two lines

Popol Vuh is a group of people that makes music: no music group.
Popol Vuh is a group of people who live together and spend most of their time trying to make music.

We do not see ourselves as musicians, but as people whose decision it was, what they feel and what they can feel, say in music. The belief in mediation and communication is our faith in music. The music that we make, arising from the recollection in which we willfully to learn with a desire to enter.

just one more! the end of the first paragraph

We learn to understand our imagination, we take it, we live it. Our music and its conversion to convey this way: The traumatic life, the unconscious rooms. So our music has necessarily to lean more-without reference to the music of the indigenous people in them. We are going to find our own way a meditation form that comes from our culture. We encounter the unconscious with our consciousness, we fall out of time and stretch this moment.

i take it back -- not sharing this would be selfish

The group lives in Peter churches in Wasserburg, in an old vicarage. This presbytery has become a creative human settlement.
We're in the middle of the court music. By the time there, a sound space as an egg on the images of Hyronymus Bosch.
The Moog synthesizer allows to create any sound even imaginary. This first is a danger: In the, in his Vermittluing yet unexplored medium - music - is the MOOG machine an incredibly perfect instrument to mental influence, because the processes are right: A pressed sound conveys feelings pressed, a sound open the possibility to relax, to find a creative peace.
We work - in our understanding - not with tones, but with the entire Tongebäude the overtone series. Thus, the concrete sound is never limited in his room, he is related to him how the consciousness to the subconscious, he acts in it, as the center of the circle in the district. We are not trying to produce vibrations that result from a musical product, we have been working with vibrations as the starting material. This music conveys more directly than speak any other music before: The vibrations come straight to the listener.

Two up thumbs!

I am happy to know the german word for the overtone series now!

Computer translated Fricke is its own kind of magic. Not sure why this isn't being recycled as spoken word poetry or sthg?!

lyrics for new kosmische project

Tongebäude! Who wants to start this band with me...?

me me me

Tongebäude is a group of people that makes music: no music group.

I'll play overtone series on a one-string fretless!

i can read so i nominate myself for reading this while someone noodles on a machine:

When we think of melody, then we remember how we sang as children: without intention, just for their own happiness. Eventually we left off, like the children to sing. Today we get to that, as monstrous.

As long as you read it in a Renate Knaup accent

And finish it off with "My name is free your spirit pig (La Lechera), but most people call me La Lechera".

A short interview with Florian Fricke's widow

totally found out a guy down the street from me is super into popol vuh. which might not be that exciting to some of you, but out here it's a rarity.

That's a great interview.

"This was the first time I heard Florian on the piano. I was fascinated while listening to him play in that old empty mosque, where chickens and cats, our daily audience, ran through the building"

wow, i'll have to give myself time to absorb this. how lovely!

i skimmed the questions and liked this part because it's a little insignificant tidbit that probably only his wife would know Someone wrote to Florian. "My baby cried all night . I didn´t know what to do. But when I played Hosianna Mantra it stopped at once."

What I would really like to be republished are the videos Kailash and Sei Still, wisse ich Bin

Ok, right, *makes note*, "Kailash", that's a bit of PV knowledge i'm lacking

whole thing is on youtube:

and some news:

THIS IS INTERESTING
http://www.normanrecords.com/records/139653-popol-vuh--hosianna-mantra

is this a reputable reissue company?

second question: should i have my local store preorder these for me or should i do it myself? not buying them does not seem to be an option. don't know if i could forgive myself, have been waiting and searching for years, etc.

update
