Johann Heyss Mercurial cover

“Johann Heyss nos surpreende, oito anos depois de lançar o último álbum de sua trilogia experimental, com um disco elaborado, de sonoridade pop, urgente e atemporal mas com seu inconfundível estilo de compor e de cantar. Co-produzido pelo programador, tecladista e DJ Sintetik, Mercurial conta com as participações especiais da diva cantriz Marília Barbosa, do guitarrista Johnny Hansen (da pioneira banda Harry, Daniela Caldellas (do duo Digitaria), Leandra Lambert (veterana da cena alternativa carioca) e do compositor/escritor Luís Capucho.

Mercurial é uma viagem sonora que começa com O Outro Lado, um poema erótico panssexual embalado em eletro-rock que dá o tom do que vem pela frente. Fast Car, uma das três canções em inglês, acelera no ritmo dançante, enquanto A Voz do Falcão é uma canção reflexiva sobre iniciação ao mistérios através do ritual mágico do pentagrama. Scared Boy Song é um poderoso electro old-school de melodia renascentista sobre o lado yin de todo homem. Fechando o lado A, Mitos é um poema de melodia mântrica sobre seres mitológicos & imaginários que conta com a voz sobrenatural de Marília Barbosa em um desempenho que vai surpreender seus fãs.

O lado B de Mercurial abre com um eletrofunk confessional, Mercúrio, seguido por Adolescente de Maratona — canção acelerada em louvor à estátua grega homônima. Lamaçal de Pesadelos convida, com seu refrão grudento, a exorcizar qualquer sonho ruim, pilha fraca ou onda errada. Se é para exorcizar, Ácido On the Rocks diz presente em forma de eletro-poema de ódio, rancor & vingança, mas em seguida Lilith é convocada para beber o ódio e vomitar hedonismo em uma pista de dança. No final da viagem, Arabian Dream avisa que tudo pode não passar de um delírio. Ou então é só “o outro lado da moeda / a porta do espaço-tempo / o sussurro do anti-vento”…

Johann Heyss é músico, escritor e tradutor. Seus primeiros três discos são Look Carefully (1998), The Blue Sea (2003) e Psychosamba (2005), uma trilogia caracterizada pelo experimentalismo eletrônico com sonoridades pop, étnicas e minimalistas. Como escritor, já publicou cinco livros no Brasil, República Tcheca, Estados Unidos, Alemanha, França e Rússia, todos voltados para temas esotéricos, além da biografia do mago Aleister Crowley.

Em Mercurial, este artista multifacetado nos mostra, através de sua música, passagens significativas da ‘linha do fogo’ em seu álbum chamado Mercurial, conectando-se magicamente com Hermes e Mercúrio.”

O mar negro me tragou em sono
a água escura invadia o bote
ou sou eu que me entorno
por querer decifrar o mote?

Melíflua a canção da voz do falcão
Onírica onda da luz da escuridão

Eu estou dentro do círculo de Adonai
o sol me esquenta a fronte
e nas costas a lua azulada vai
atrás de mim pelo horizonte

Melíflua a canção da voz do falcão
Onírica onda da luz da escuridão

Ele é caído como uma formiga da galáxia
a percorrer a terra em pernas de folha
tentando iluminar sua verde amnésia
que explode na areia da bolha

Melíflua a canção da voz do falcão
Onírica onda da luz da escuridão

 

Translation: The Voice of the Hawk

The black sea has dragged me in dream
the black water invaded the boat
or is it me who pour myself
for wanting to decipher the motto?

Mellifluous the song from the voice of the hawk
Oneiric wave from the light of darkness

I am inside the circle of Adonai
the sun warms my front
and on my back the blue moon goes
behind me through the horizon

Mellifluous the song from the voice of the hawk
Oneiric wave from the light of darkness

He is fallen as an ant from the galaxy
wandering the earth in legs of leaves
trying to illuminate its green amnesia
that explodes on the sand of the bubble

Mellifluous the song from the voice of the hawk
Oneiric wave from the light of darkness

  1. Kim Cascone – Alchemisphere One 34:02

 

The Hermetic Library at Hermetic.com has an overall vision of Archiving, Engaging and Encouraging the living Western Esoteric Tradition. I started the benefit anthology project to help promote newer works in the Western Esoteric Tradition to the audience of the Hermetic Library and beyond. The anthology project also further raises awareness about the corpus and culture of magick and ritual.

This Summer 2012 issue of from the anthology project is the fourth release but also the penultimate album in the first full cycle of seasons for the anthology project. Magick, Music and Ritual 4 brings together over 3 hours of music which span 2 physical CDs plus a bonus track for digital downloads.

I’ve given somewhat poetical names to the several parts of this issue based on how each part of the overall playlist felt to me as I was putting it together. The first part of this issue seems to me carries the feeling of Summer during the day, that gives the gift of the Voice of the Sun. The second part seems like a darker journey reminiscent of the Summer at night, offering a Vision of the Moon. The bonus track is a binaural meditation that could be taken as that liminality in the very dark before the light returns when consciousness is altered, a dream time when is heard the Silence of the Stars. These three parts are each distinct, in that they have each a character of their own, but they also participate in a complete and contiguous playlist.

The artists who have participated on this anthology album span continents, languages, countries, and regions. There are a variety of ages, experience levels, styles here as well. Some artists have participated before on anthology albums or in the Hermetic Library sound pool, while some have not been heard before in either.

The ongoing visual theme of the anthology covers has past the bright promise of Spring, represented in the previous, and now smolders in the crazy-making heat of Summer. The Sun has conquered the sky and this brings the leisurely joy of wealth, the ecstatic exertion of work and also the weary climax of both.

Summer to me is a union of many opposites that transcends the abyss of differences. This issue of the anthology seems to be an exploration of that idea and feeling.

I encourage you to check out the Hermetic Library at Hermetic.com, if you aren’t already familiar with it, as that’s the reason this project exists and may also offer inspiration to you. The site was started in 1996 and has ever since consistently been an extremely popular resource for students and researchers interested in the Western Esoteric Tradition. You may also wish to check out other posts at the Hermetic Library blog and the Twitter and Facebook reflections to see how the library engages people in a living Western Esoteric Tradition.

Please join the Hermetic Library in promoting these artists who have contributed their work to this benefit anthology album project. All proceeds from album sales will support the library to help cover hosting costs and other expenses like materials acquisitions.
