Terra:Extremitas- SKRATTE
**SKRATTE is the chosen pseudonym of an anonymous subversive magician and d.j./producer of the underground scene in Bristol, England. His/her sounds may be heard at squat parties in Stokes Croft, at an assortment of alternative parties, as the soundtrack to experimental art films, in play room dungeons at fetish events, and as part of modern 'magical' ritual performances.
About SKRATTE's work:
"As with the music of the ancients, who did not deny the Mysteries, or with spiritual traditions such as Voudon, or what survives of the European witch cult, my music is an attempt to construct a bridge to the world of the unseen. In the pagan temples, men drew nearer to their deities with music and ritual- and it was out of this that the first theatres developed. Religious feelings for the gods was united with the most sacred of human feelings, that of reverance for the ancestors; the representatives of humanity in the unseen worlds. In revering the ancestors we become thereby children of the Mysteries, in whom the seen and unseen unite in mystical illumination.
About Terra: Extremitas:
"To work with the FoolishPeople seems an entirely natural and highly auspicious progression of everything that the music of SKRATTE is about. The piece I have constructed for TERRA EXTREMITAS, as with the majority of my music, is intended to be heard during altered states of consciousness; an audio meditation to 'open the way, that we may pass through.'
