Lecture: Music as an alchemical artefact

A lecture by Fieke van den Hurk

Good art asks questions, it disturbs something within its audience and in doing so opens the door to a liminal space inside the observer. From here it is possible to take them into unknown territory - where transformation is possible. Solve et coagula.

Good art, is like magic. The Craft has been expressed through art for centuries, millennia… It can induce altered states of consciousness, communicate with the subconscious and help people process complex emotions.

Drawing from my many experiments, adventures and music productions with musicians and other magical figures, in this lecture I will share with you the discoveries I made about putting magic into the artefact of recorded music.
