- Halo Manash Live ~ May 22, 2008 (PSK, Oulu, Finland)
 Niin perinteisten kuin myös erinäisten omatekoisten akustisten artefaktien kutsuun heränneet, niihin ja myös niitä käyttäviin henkilöihin yhtyneet ja lopulta kaikkea toimintaa ohjaavat elementaalit johdattavat läpi Maa[Ilmojen] heijastusten kohti alkuvoimaista kokemusta, puhdasta olemusta. Arktau Eos and Halo Manash NOT appearing at Sisto Palty Togathering 2008 Despite being listed as appearing at Sisto Palty 2008 festival in Russia (8.-12. May) Aural Hypnox recording artists Arktau Eos and Halo Manash will not be performing there. The reason is simple: no representative of the group or the label has been contacted about the festival in the first place! The news reached us through a third party only days ago, and we are at present trying to find out the root of this strange mix-up. Needless to say, going out at this short notice is impossible, plain and simple. Missing such a nice opportunity to return to Russia is regrettable, and we intend to remedy this - properly prepared - at a suitable future date. |

- Confirmed dates and venues for Aural Hypnox Evenings: Arktau Eos, Halo Manash and Zoät·Aon
ARKTAU EOS: The debut album of ARKTAU EOS, “Mirrorion”, was released by AURAL HYPNOX in the solar blaze of Midsummer 2006, although in essence ARKTAU EOS exists outside and beyond mere musical parameters. It may be conceived as an arena of manifestation for the Void streaming forth through myriad hidden pathways, shaped by the dreams and desires of its creators and their patron spirits. A religion without name, an extended liturgy in elemental language: ARKTAU EOS is many things, capable of shifting between several mediums of expression. These shows mark our first foray into live musical environment outside our circumpolar hermitage. If the stars be right, you shall dream as we do.  HALO MANASH: HALO MANASH is an entity that took its shape and shadow in Finland in the late '90s, manifesting itself through Elemental music. Sounds and visions born from raw experience, from being devoured and born anew, from the great heights and deepest depths, that take the form of music, images and artifacts. Utilizing primarily organic soundsources (such as bones and horns), various traditional and self-made instruments, as well as the Elemental sounds themselves, combined in an electronic medium, the music of Halo Manash ranges from serene serpentine ambient to frenzied and possessive outpourings of rhythmic chaos and thunder - an unleashing of primal ecstacy. Rather than a group or band in any traditional sense, Halo Manash is an entity, a being in and of itself. And as all things pulsating with life and death and dreams, Halo Manash is constantly shedding its skin and remains in a state of never-ending metamorphosis, toward ever clearer forms, deeper shades and the Void beyond All. Thus, the personae involved in Halo Manash are not central - rather it is the face of Halo Manash itself that is at the heart of all. The members of Halo Manash are the Dream that It dreams, the mask that It wears. Each Halo Manash performance is a unique time-bound manifestation and work of creation/destruction in itself, rather than being merely a repetition of works already created. Halo Manash seeks to transcend the boundaries of ordinary live-shows by creating an intense and multi-sensory experience, both for the audience and for Halo Manash itself.  ZOÄT-AON: Since 1995 Jaakko Vanhala has been making experimental music of an electronic bent. The latest phase of this work has been named Zoät-Aon, and under this title two full-length albums have been released ('Star Autopsy' in 2005 and 'The Triplex Bestial' in 2006). The soundwork on the albums is multifaceted, dynamic and organically shifting soundscapes created by a mixture of modern and archaic techniques common to electro-acoustic music, musique concrete, ambient, ethnic and ritual music. As the studio and live material are heard in different settings, there is a slight, intentional aural difference between them. However, the ultimate aim remains the same: to create a space in which both the operators and the audience have an experience that is assumed to intensify the discovery and assimilation of the repressed aspects of 'reality' in a creative sense.  |

Luvassa on kokonaisvaltainen akustisen musiikin siivittämä teos, jonka kautta iltaan osallistujoille - niin esiintyjille kuin myös yleisöllekkin - pyritään tarjoamaan voimakas, niin näkyvien kuin näkymättömien maa[ilmojen] heijastuksista syntyvä, aika- ja tilakokemus. Yleisöllä on mahdollisuus valita seisoma-, istuma- tai makuupaikkansa vuonna 1892 rakennetun Villa Pukkilan päärakennuksen alakerrasta tai ulkoa nuotiotulen ääreltä. Alkuillasta on luvassa uutta äänitettyä musiikkia tapahtumaan osallistuvilta esiintyjiltä. Tuliheinävalvojaiset on kutsuvierastilaisuus - Teidät on kutsuttu.

The event aims to be a holistic creation, guided by acoustic sounds and visceral visions. It aims to provide the participants (both performes and audience alike) with an unique experience of time and space, born from reflections of the seen and shrouded worlds. Seeking to transcend both club-shows and art-installations, there is no stage, and members of the audience are free to choose where to stand, sit or lie during the unfolding of the evening (either on the ground floor of the Villa Pukkila or outside by the fires). Likewise, the perfomers themselves will sometimes be visible, and at other times stay hidden for the audience. The Elemental Evening is open to people by invitation only - You are invited. No alcohol will be served, so the audience is asked to bring with them what they may want to enjoy. Tickets are 5 euros, and the price includes a printed leaflet expounding on the events taking place. Welcome! For more information contact us at: auralhypnox [at] helixes [dot] org |

- As the days grow longer, we decided to announce some news concerning the upcoming Aural Hypnox titles
and also other related activities. The current year will be challenging in many ways, however we are
confident that we will manage to overcome all the possible obstacles and reach something beyond
all expectations.
First of all, we are excited to introduce the brand-new series entitled Aural Holograms. The very first part of the series has been sent to press while ago and it is planned to be released within couple of months. In future, we strive to release a new part yearly and therefore strongly recommend people to collect the series from the very beginning to the very end - For we truly believe that, in addition to the truly unique aural content and special packaging, it is only the full series that enables a comprehensive insight into the heart of the Great Hologram. ** Some graphic changes have been made on the website and more importantly, we have opened a 'Live Events' section, which will be including all confirmed live-performance dates of the artists involved with Aural Hypnox. Moreover, related to the above mentioned, we are planning to organize a very small-scale Aural Hypnox evenings here in Oulu - and if possible elsewhere as well.

- Out now: Zoät·Aon: 'The Triplex Bestial', CD!
By the careful adjustment and manipulation of both modern and archaic mediums is created a highly dynamic work of aural alchemy depicting the trance and dream of a carnal totem standing between Heaven and Earth, where the unearthly sound of starlight's serpentine arteries winding together with the blackened branches above mingles with the oneiric hisses and crackles of necromantic phantoms and slithering roots below. A barbarous, sonic paradox suggesting the subtle arousal of the ancestry in flesh, a work both soothing and threatening to the intuitive mind. (total time: 61:05) Comes in an oversized 4 panel cardboard covers. Limited to 1000 copies. The first Aural Hypnox album 'Par-Antra I: VIR' by Halo Manash has been sold out!

- We are now prepared to reveal more details concerning a work that has been in progress in utmost silence and secrecy
for a cycle of seven months - from the dog days of summer to the luminous darkness of Midwinter. An ambitious body of work, which has slowly
gained a life of its own, 'Mirrorion' by ARKTAU EOS is the chronicle of an harrowing initiatory experience that has culminated in
the creation of seventeen formations that can be approached as pathways or gates, each illuminating a different facet of a
monumental core.
ARKTAU EOS is a duo committed to the exploration of nether realms of our being, steadfast in their search for a non-dual vision that rises above mundane cultural connotations, yet remaining spiritually loyal to the archaic roots of our ancestors. For more information and mp3 excerpts, we invite you to visit http://www.helixes.org/arktau-eos/ The album has been sent to press, with an late April release in mind.
