Axis Mundi by Arseny Litvin and Pavel Kozenkov

Sound was born by the first step
Light separated from darkness by the second step
The Egg was born in the navel by the third step
Broke the shell with a sword by the fourth step
Omnipotent flesh was dismembered by the fifth step
Surrounding forest has sprouted by the sixth step
And by the seventh step will…
And by the seventh step will looped the axis mundi ladder

On September 24, 2022 (almost two years ago), I wrote about my last sound work at that time (Inside The Sorceress's Horn), which “This album, with a 95% probability, will be the last in my discography.” Well, I'm glad to be wrong and be target into that 5 percent positive probability. But past fatalism is forgivable to me, since at that time I felt as empty as possible creatively. As a result, later I gained enough energy and all sorts of ideas to produce this super-conceptual work. Main source of inspiration was the book “Myths, Dreams and Mysteries: The Encounter Between Contemporary Faiths and Archaic Realities” (a 1957 work by anthropologist and religious scholar Mircea Eliade). Special thanks to my friend Volodya Fedyaev for gifting this book to me. The poem (from the press release higher) also appears on the album itself (my wife Natasha recites on russian it on the recording). It actually encrypts all the basic universal esoteric thoughts and ideas that I put into this album, into its deep sounds, into the core of the metaphysical Egg. For the external sound shell, thanks to Pavel, who joined the work at a very opportune moment. His approach to sound was exactly what was needed at the appropriate stage of work.

Pay Pal not work.
I will sell by barter in exchange for a bandcamp gift card equal in amount to the cost of the release with shipping price.
I am ready to discuss the details of the barter by mail: arsenylitvin@rambler.ru
