about

Miguel Palou (Doce Fuegos) and Juan Cabotá have joined forces for a sound exploration of the earthly and mystical planes of music through improvisation. Using three electric instruments (guitar, mandolin, and violin), Spagyria performs their music influenced by great alchemists of frequencies such as Sunn O)))), Earth, Sumac, Wolvserpent, or PYLAR.

Arcane Arts is the first act of these improvisations: a search in the dark for the cathartic and purgative properties of melodies and distortions, following the light of knowledge and friendship.

This path involves the search for musical and ecstatic self-knowledge; it is the encounter between two musicians who share their concern to explore their limits in music and to find a sonorous remedy to the complexity of a sick society. Just as Paracelsus searched through plants and alchemy for the formulas that could heal people's bodies and minds, Spagyria takes its name from the work of the master alchemist searching in the decibels for purging, healing, and revival.

Miguel Palou (Doce Fuegos) y Juan Cabotá se han unido para una exploración sonora entre los planos terrenales y místicos de la música a través de la improvisación. A través de tres instrumentos eléctricos (guitarra, mandolina y violín), Spagyria realiza sus improvisaciones influenciados por grandes alquimistas de las frecuencias como SunnO))), Earth, Sumac, Wolvserpent o PYLAR.

Arcane Arts es el primer acto de estas improvisaciones: una búsqueda en la oscuridad de las propiedades catárticas y purgativas de melodías y distorsiones, siguiendo la luz del conocimiento y de la amistad.

Esta vía supone la búsqueda del autoconocimiento musical y extático; es el encuentro entre dos amigos músicos que comparten su preocupación por explorar sus límites en la música, y por encontrar un remedio sonoro ante la complejidad de una sociedad enferma. Al igual que Paracelso buscaba a través de las plantas y la alquimia las fórmulas que pudieran sanar el cuerpo y la mente de las personas, Spagyria toma su nombre de la obra del maestro alquímico buscando en los decibelios la purga, la curación y el resurgimiento.
