a state of being or existence above and beyond the limits of material experience
1. Endless entry into matter- The action of penetration and/or magnification (into sound or any other phenomenon) that might allow new aesthetics and investigations. Can also be seen as meditative.
2. Reduction of phenomena into code, which can then be mutated according to any creative proposition- analogous perhaps to the alchemists act of converting the inferior material into relevant material and vise versa.
By utilizing these strategies, one might self-author an occult system which in a performative
context will suggest different kinds of interactivity as permutations of a primary Magickal "D.N.A". The permutations, in actuality, will be the circumstances or the conditioning that the mentioned occult system will realize itself to the audience/spectator.
A web site, for instance, can be a site for texts and media for which an audience member can turn to find other experiences before or after their experience with the performance. This possibility can alter and condition the way a person approaches the performative work and deciphers it.
The world of magick (*), music composition and computer code are similar because they can reduce the world of phenomena into language. Through this reduction and submergence there are rhizomatic possibilities for oscillations and juxtapositions that I am interested in investigating in the dance studio, and with musicians and/or composers(**).
For instance, I am interested in alien abduction scenarios as a climatic moment of transgression. And how this scenario can be used as a scene, as an interactive event, as a moment streamed under another context, as a religious moment..

project(1)In transmitting esoteric/occult ideas in an
independent medium form (tracks or albums), (2)In conditioning
via actual sonic manipulation at the imagined live events.
