Et Quid Amabo Nisi Quod Aenigma Est?
Die Elektrischen Vorspiele, a blog founded on January 15 2009,
and whose sixth anniversary is commemorated with this release, was
envisioned as a space for the nurturing of a “savage thought” (that is,
of an undisciplined nature). In its essence, and as an individual
project, it aims mostly to be a vehicle for its author’s vast-reaching
interests, while at the same time harnessing them into some form of
discipline. More than just a reflection on the fascination caused by the
themes implicit to its lexical field of action, as shown by the
coordinates and key concepts that define the boundaries of its
territory, i.e. “Occultism” / “Esotericism”, this virtual space
mainly maps some of the topologies enclosed in the History of Ideas. A
vast and sometimes ignored area of Knowledge, whose apparently
paradoxical character drives a magnetic pull towards the need to
identify its true nature, as ubiquitously manifested along various
historical cycles, in an unending drama staged in the theatre of the Anima Mundi. This is, in fact, the true raison d’être of Die Elektrischen Vorspiele.
As a direct result of its existence, November 2010 saw
the publication of the book “Summa Techno(i)logicae”. This work, as
implied by its title, is a thoroughly compiled and systematized
patchwork reflecting the interests that guide its author’s research.
From then on, periodic collaborations with other projects ensued, such
as the magazines “Finis Mundi”, “Infernus” and “Antibothis”.
Still under the aegis of Die Elektrischen Vorspiele,
and always through the establishment of complicities and connections, a
number of events were created and carried out in the past six years.
This set of actions (with Music as a constant common denominator) has
had as its main goal the evocation of the life and work of various
figures that have left behind crucial legacies. The people celebrated
include the musician John Balance (Coil); the historian of religions Mircea Eliade; the poet and theatre director Antonin Artaud; the philosopher Georges Bataille; and the japanese writer Yukio Mishima. It is also worth mentioning the series of events spanning along the year 2013, Occult Esoterica AV Gatherings, curated in collaboration with intermedia artist Ana Carvalho.
The proposal made to EdP – Editora do Porto (in the person of its administrator, João Ricardo)
for the release of this compilation emerges as a consequence of shared
common cosmologies which have gradually been transmuted into friendship,
and also of João Ricardo’s encyclopaedic musical
knowledge, while the invitations made to the artists taking part in it
are the logical result of a chaining together of elective affinities (a
process permanently taking place since the first Homeric dawn).
