MAGNUM OPUS COLLECTIO SERIES: NIGREDO - Various Artists



MAGNUM OPUS COLLECTIO SERIES is a set of three volumes, each inspired by the different phases of the alchemical process, which works with the prima materia to create the philosopher‘s stone.

The three phases of alchemic process have been used in the Hermetic tradition to describe personal and spiritual transmutation, as well as a medium in art and literature. These three phases also have been meant by Carl Gustav Jung as a model for the individuation process, an unrepeatable psychic process, which leads each individual to approach his ego with the self. In other words the individuation process is a progressive integration and unification of all shadows and complexes forming the personality within oneself.

This project involved the painter Valentina Bardazzi as the creator of three artwork concepts. The work will be on sale in digital form on Bandcamp, under the merchandise section of Undogmatisch. Every exemplar is printed on special matt paper and is signed by the artist.

All artists that has made possible this project are from Italy, Germany, Denmark, China, Iran, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Poland but mostly based in Berlin and gravitating somehow around or close to Undogmatisch.

NIGREDO: blackening, associated with the earth element, and generally with lead, putrefaction, decomposition, separation, vitriol, primordial chaos, night, Saturn, the symbol of the crow, winter, old age.

  ZARATHUSTRA - DER GRO​ß​E MITTAG   - Mirco Magnani feat.  Steven Brown, Sainkho Namtchylak, Nikolas Klau, Paganland This project started four years ago with the intention of rediscovering the messages behind a book that seems never to be truly understood but somehow appears as an evergreen source of purity, a message of hope for humanity that seems to forget its real motivations. Even during his lifetime Zarathustra himself, as written in the Avesta, was always opposed by the mediocrity of the common thought of his contemporaries, fighting against ritualism, respecting animal life and nature especially in a period in which non-violence was not even idealistic. Four different languages to give a multicultural vision of the Nietzsche's text from four important old and new cultures, somehow connected to that book: the German, the English, the Iranian and the Russian one. For Nietzsche "Der Grosse Mittag" was a secondary option for the title „Also Sprach Zarathustra“ as ach

  LUMIRAUM APPENDIX- Mirco Magnani + Lukasz Trzcinski "LUMIRAUM APPENDIX" includes the unfinished tracks after the first recording sessions and have been rerecorded, refinished, redesigned for this new release. "Lumiraum" is a neologism, the suffix AUM included in the title, according to the Hindu tradition is the basis of their ethical and spiritual conception. Its meaning involves the passage and overcoming of four levels of knowledge that are expressed by the three letters A-U-M, plus the extension of the M as maintenance of the vibration. Operating in a similar way Lukasz and Mirco through sessions of various kinds have taken a similar empirical path through improvisation, coding, editing and re-elaboration and finally mixing. Recalling in their imaginary the spirituality of ancient cultures, symbologies and concepts that had analogue cosmogonic conceptions of origin of the universe. An imaginary that slips into a remote and anachronistic world. "Lumiraum&q
