Black Note Music Catalog


CATALOG
Here you will find a map to find your way through the many releases we have to offer. Many of the categories overlap, so you may find the same CD in more than one place.
Shamanism	Sound has been and remains a fundamental tool for the work of the Shaman. These releases approach shamanism from a post modern psychedelic perspective and adhere to these principles without being an imitation of the past.
Electronica	Music created and envisioned in the pure realm of synthesizers, processors and software. Its emotional power and beauty emerges from subtle harmonies, shifting timbres and minimalist rhythms.
Ambient	Music that embodies particular moods taking you on gently flowing journeys from one chamber to another.
Magick	These titles have been designed specifically to help individuals shift into altered states of consciousness and open up magickally charged spaces. They are excellent to use in preparation for or during meditation, ritual, or journeying.
Mathematics	Sonic designs derived from special mathematical sequences. Various elements of the music will emerge from the equations, while others may come from simple musical procedures. In this way, these pieces can form a bridge between the human mind and the abstract world of ideas and the archetypal building blocks of reality.
Noise	The chaotic patterns of life are riddled with intelligence. These titles walk naked through the sonic reaches of creation, free of the conventional chains of harmony, rhythm or melody.
Soundtracks	This is music that tells a story taking you along as it unfolds. The story may be evoked through musical shifts, vocal samples, changes in style and other devices. Multiple listens may evoke very different story lines.
Invocational Improv	Music created spontaneously in conjunction with various invocations. These are faithful recordings of invocational group work using instruments and noise makers to shift the space into shamanic realms.
Political	These releases are a creative response to the various political conflicts throughout the world. They are not meant as propaganda or as clear recipes, but rather as explorations that may open up new dimensions into issues that are normally painted in polarized black and white.
Fifth World Fusion	The Native American Shamans predict the coming of the Fifth World. The music here is a combination of rock, jazz, improv, krautrock, electronica and classical music, to form an unpredictable mix that looks towards the future while remaining solidly planted in the present.
BY ARTIST
KYRON	Kyron experiments with various shamanic and magical traditions. Central to his work is the idea that music can be used as a practical method of travelling to other dimensions or planes to create spaces of invocation. Currently he mostly works in the realm of electronic music, from Dark Ambient to Trance to experimental electronica, which he likes to combine with live recordings and "noise".
RFCL	RFCL = "Radio Free Clear Light" which started as a weekly free form invocational improvisation and has grown into a series of recordings, in collaboration with many different people.
PROJECTIVE MODULE	Three immortal descendants of the primordial Mother and Queen of the Heavens bring you Projective Module, the sound of sighs and once whispered endearments.
VIA SINISTRAE	Via Sinistrae is a meeting of several different lineages: the raw shamanic invocation, the structured Western Thelemic tradition, the culture of the rave or underground dance party and interactive performance art.
TRIP TECH	Trip Tech fuses trance, techno, ambient, industrial, and vocal samples together in a creative, stimulating, furious cauldron that is unique within the current electronic spectrum. Their goal is to become essential contributors to the new paradigm shift of electronic enlightenment.
ION EVO	The Ion Evo project began when Dru Kristel, Shaman Teacher and Master Drummer, visited our studio in 1999. We had many sessions of intense improvisatory musical invocations. Dru gave us a certain approach to mixing the improvisations. Kyron later built on this approach, adding classical and jazz influences to the mix.
PROSPERO	Prospero embodies the spirit of discovery through deep intellectual exploration of patterns, correspondences and mathematical archetypes that lie under our perception of reality. It is one end of the gradual approach to Objective Music.
CORTEX BURN	A vehicle to explore the further reaches of musical imagination, extreme dissonance and noise, minimalist ambient, randomized electronica and the truth to be found in accident.
SOLAR SHOP	The goal of Solar Shop is to open up the genre of electronica and explore the limits of possibility, while remaining faithful to the inherent basic power of music to elevate the spirit and thrill the mind.
VARIOUS	Various one shot collaborations that don't fit into any other category and all the other independent artists that we distribute.
