    End September, 2008 - Pillar that breaks the surfaces and planes

    **

    As autumn arrives, it is time to announce some news; Am Kha Astrie has been sent to press with a late October release in mind.

    **

    As the apex of Spring heralds awakenings, Halo Manash emerges from Winter and hibernation ~ Treefaced. Horns spiral skyward and antlers ascend. A tripartite trunk arises – a pillar that splits all worlds.

    Am Kha Astrie, a work of heliotropic, elemental ambient, is an opening, an awakening, a summoning, a crossing of thresholds. After their previous oneiric and minimal album, Am Kha Astrie sees Halo Manash re-integrate a more diverse instrumentation and a multiplicity of soundsources to create their work, which this time consists of seven interrelated tracks. Am Kha Astrie is a complete work in itself, but can also be viewed as the second facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation.

    Archaic elemental drums, bones and spiraling animal horns merge with various metal percussions, chimes, wind-instruments, voices and a multitude of other instruments to create a deep, earthly and yet celestially-bound opus. Am Kha Astrie is a massive and sometimes ominous work, a primal experience of coming-into-being, with all the terror, ecstasy and divine awe that it implies.

    Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 1000 copies.

    End August, 2008 - Communication / Encounter

    Early August, 2008 - Forest Music ~ Ocean Fires

    **

    A brief notice for all the pilgrims on the road; Halo Manash will be journeying in the transdimensional regions of The Nether-lands, and France during august. As many times before, our humble aim is to seek, explore, experience, study and decipher reflections of the prevailing elemental emanations, ever-shifting shapes and different worlds - to open the way for the comprehensive communication with archaic and vigorous Elements and Elementals and thus bridge the worlds of being and non-being.

    The awakened, absorbed reflections and strongly running emanations, will be at once further deciphered through bare and powerful acoustic presentations - through rhythmic language. The route we are going to journey and more importantly all the activity that's going to take place will be guided by the Great Emanation and surrounding transpersonal reality.

    Those who are interested may check below the one and only preliminary timetable we have to give:

  • Performance in Lille area (Wednesday 13rd of August)
  • Performance in Ambleteuse area (Thursday 14th of August)
  • Performance in Brocéliande forest, near Rennes (15/16th of August)
  • Performances around Carnac, Locmariaquer and Quiberon (Sunday 17th till Tuesday 19th)

    Please note: As already mentioned, there are not going to be any predefined locations / venues nor fixed time for the performances to take place. In addition to the afore-mentioned dates and locations some random performances will also happen - somewhere and in some time. May the Great Emanation lead You toward Halo Manash.

    **

    We are looking forward to cross paths with many fellow Seekers / Explorers ~ May the Ocean Fires of August enlighten the journey beyond the limits of time and space,

    On behalf of Halo Manash,
    Anti Ittna H. & Iwo

    The Language of Red Goats 'Nether Nectar' limited edition is unveiled, in an undisclosed number of copies/bottles. This edition is not for sale - only given to those friends and fellow travellers genuinly seeking and sharing our exploration of the realms of the Red Goats. The Nether Nectar is an oneiric elixir: ritually gathered and seeded around the Autumn Equinox, prepared and concecrated during the Thin Veils, fermented in lunar light and left to sleep and dream for Winter season - now blessed at the gates of summer, and offered as a libation of Light."

    Early January, 2008 - The New Light ~ Can you already hear the approacing hoofbeats of Red Goats

    **

    Out soon on Aural Hypnox: Language of Red Goats:

    Guided by nether nectars and dream herbs, oneiric visions and the light of lunar tides, Halo Manash Language of Red Goats aims to be a cartography of cavernous elemental realms and regions, sources and springs that run deep and thick with the fluids of life, death and dream. What was seeded at the Thin Veils has been gathered at Harvest time, and is offered to the seeker as a libation and guide into the ever-liminal, shrouded spaces, for dream-vigils and awakenings.

    Language of Red Goats is a complete work in itself, but can also be viewed as the first facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation – three faces of the same being. More akin to a primitive fieldrecording in the realm of oneirotropic exploration, than an actual album, the work consists of one lengthy tripartite soundscape. Utilizing only gongs, bells, metal bowls and wind instruments, as well as flocks of birds, the work is in contrast to earlier more refined works that feature a wide multiplicity of instruments and soundsources. Language of Red Goats is a bare, primitive and sometimes raw aural landscape, and yet nonetheless achieves a rare subliminal intensity and an edge of otherwordly luminosity.

    Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 920 copies.
