Many thanks and warmest greetings to all the people - organizers, artists, audience & other new acquaintances - we met on the Nuit et Brouillard festival in Antwerpen. We would greatly appreciate if persons who took photos of the Halo Manash performance could contact us for sharing the photographic material (email: ' halomanash [at] helixes [dot] org ' and please use the following subject: HALO MANASH PHOTOS - due the large amount of spam mail we are forced to use a specific subject). A complete tour-diary will follow soon. ** 
We are the Dream that It Dreams. We are the Mask that It wears. Treefold. **
** March, 2007 - The Ancient Fire never sleeps, Burned Ground under the Lustrous Starshine, Regeneration, Formation. Time has truly flown quickly during the past couple of months; we have been working intensively with the forthcoming live performance and moreover, we have been slowly and gently exploring the ever-changing nuances of the Language of the Red Goats - a work that initially began on November 2006. We hope to release the materialised notes and aural reflections in the near future, however release dates have not been scheduled yet. **   ** Something is being born. Springing from the seed, flowing, slithering, spiraling. From the roots in the nether regions, to the trunk splitting the surfaces and worlds, to the branches reaching for the endless skies, infinite stars and Sol. The crown at the peak, the timeless, eternal, clear light that all things reach for - the Light beyond light. We raise our horns to the skies and spread our wings, our mouths open for the celestial nectar. We are the Dream that It Dreams. We are the Mask that It wears. Treefold. **   **    ** Mid-February, 2007 - Out now: r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA LP & DVD: After a long delay we are pleased to inform you that Kaosthetik Konspiration has finally released r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA. 
**  ...punaisten vuohien metsästä... Early February, 2007  Click here to open / download all festival information in Word format. Presentation text for the Nuit Et Brouillard festival: HALO MANASH is an entity born in Finland in the late 90's, 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, Halo Manash music ranges from serene serpentine ambient to frenzied and possessive outpourings of rythmic 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 is 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. And for this performance, the face of Halo Manash is Threefold. Each Halo Manash performance is a unique time-bound manifestation and work of creation/destruction in itself, rather than being merely a repetition of already created works. Halo Manash seeks to trancend the boundaries of ordinary live-shows by creating an intense and multi-sensory experience, both for the audience and for Halo Manash itself. **  **    ** End January, 2007 
...At last, 'Tulitania' soars above the altar - Fiat Lux... ** Mid-January, 2007 - The New Year begins with exciting news: Halo Manash will be performing with Dernière Volonte (f), Propergol (f), Minamata (f), Objekt/Urian (d) and LD 50 (b) in Nuit Et Brouillard festival held in Schouwburg Cultuurcentrum Luchtbal, Antwerpen, Belgium on 21st of April 2007. For more information visit: http://www.ccluchtbal.org/ The Halo Manash performance in Antwerpen will be the very first to take place outside of Finland. Gig organizers get in touch if you are interested in having a Halo Manash performance in your area. 
From 'Tulitania' recordings, January 2007 ** Early January, 2007 - Out soon: r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA Gatefold LP & DVD. Everything is in pairs: thus r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA itself consists of two distinct creations/destructions.
"In PolarDual" (LP) is the dark twin, and was received/realized in 2 circulations of the sun, consisting of two parts. It is very intense, fierce and chaotic: a tearing down, a dive into the deep, screams to and from the depths. The sounds shedding skin.
The circle is closed, yet remains ever open. (Comes in full-colour gatefold LP covers including DVD and a booklet with accompanying texts and pictures.) r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA will be released by Kaosthetik Konspiration. The album will be available via BSAH Distribution, Aural Hypnox and Kaosthetik Konspiration. Long delayed 'A Chronicle of the Voyage of Halo Manash - India & Nepal, 2005' has been uploaded in the Elemental Revelations section while ago. Below are few photos from private 'Tulitania' sessions - end of December, 2006.

Halo Manash, redrobed and clothed in ash, has a completed a helical cycle, r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA. Archaic sounds and visions from the heights and depths, elemental ambience and primal thundering. Various instruments such as horns, kanglings, bells, cymbals, drums, singing bowls, damaras, rattles, chimes, bones, selfmade instruments, vocals, voices, and the elemental sounds themselves give form to a work that is sometimes serene, sometimes fierce and chaotic.
