Eight Directions

This is a percussive piece for four on the harp. The 8 trigrams of the I Ching are played. The trigrams also correspond to the eight directions and to eight divisions of the zodiac.

Water Spirits

In this piece the position of Sedna, the Sea Goddess of the North, in the horoscope of the moment was played along with the zodiac position of the magical spirit Aziel, which according to Franz Bardon occupies 11-15 degrees of Taurus. Aziel is the spirit of Divine Justice and Mercy and rules over hidden treasures and subterranean waters.

Pyramid Vibes

The Celestial Harp was design on the basis of the spiral, the circle and the square. In this piece the corner strings are struck to resonate the rest of the strings. The corners of the harp representing the pyramid were resonated to activate the zodiac.

Horsocope of the Moment

This piece is based upon the horoscope calculated for the moment of the performance. The planetary positions at the time of performance both in the zodiac and in the I Ching hexagrams determined the sounds and melodies played on the Celestial Harp. The resulting music resonated deeply within the woodhenge built to be receptive to these celestial frequencies.

Spectrum

Robin strums around the Celestial Harp to sound the zodiac in the midst of the posts of the Forest Woodhenge which mark the space of the zodiac. Thus the divine celestial affinity between the Celestial Harp and Forest Woodhenge is invoked.

Invocation

Robin Armstrong, Lisa Swarbrick, Jesse Footit and Bill Frey Robin blows the Buffalo horn in the four directions as the musicians enter Forest Woodhenge walking around the wheel and spiralling inward to the centre.

Call to Aziel

This was inspired by the name of the street on the side of the
temple. Aziel governs 11 to 15 degrees of Taurus and has special
qualities to reveal to the magician who invokes her.

IAO

Eightfold Path
