Johannes de Silentio aka Ishak Benavides nos propone un viaje con la publicación de "Nocturnum Horologium”, una navegación interior que invita a la inmersión sonora atravesando sólidos “drone scapes” que van transmutando hacia atmósferas ruidistas de caos reconcentrado, auto-controlado y expansivo. Son grabaciones realizadas en directo con un set mínimo y totalmente improvisadas que a parte de su naturaleza propiamente sonora, también tienen un discurso conceptual.

La filosofía hermética, la alquimia, la transmutación de lo material y lo inmaterial, y la cosmología son elementos de los que se alimentan estas piezas. La primera, "Mutus Liber” (El Libro Mudo), nos introduce en el más conocido libro de Filosofía Hermética y tratado de Alquimia escrito por Isaac Baulot. En la segunda, el concepto alquímico está presente pero esta vez el título hace referencia a otro alquimista.“El caos desatado es la primera de las creaciones de Dios en forma o materia, imprescindible como paso preliminar para la existencia del cielo, la tierra y la vida”, esto es lo que el místico alquimista y escritor del siglo XIII Ramón Llull plasmaba en su “Liber Chaos” (Libro del caos). Ramon Llull, a su vez, fue el inventor del Nocturnum Horologium o Nocturlabio, aparato marinero que servía para saber la posición de los barcos y capaz de hacer mediciones temporales a través de la posición de las estrellas.


Johannes de Silentio construye un espacio sonoro en constante cambio generado a base de transmutaciones “alquímicas” donde meditación, simbiosis o extrapolación temporal se plasman llevándonos “al otro lado”.
Daniel Paredes (Dani Blue)

Johannes de Silentio aka Ishak Benavides proposes a journey with the publication of "Nocturnum Horologium”, an inner navigation that crosses solid “drone scapes” that begin transmuting into noisy atmospheres of refocused chaos, one that is self-controlled and expansive. These live recordings were created with a minimal set and totally improvised, which apart from their inherently sonic nature, also present a conceptual discourse.

Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, the transmutation of the material and the immaterial, and cosmology are elements that give life to these pieces. The first, "Mutus Liber” (Mute Book), introduces us to the most well-known book of Hermetic Philosophy and treatise on Alchemy written by Isaac Baulot. In the second, the alchemical concept is present, but this time the title makes reference to another alchemist. “Chaos unleashed is the first of God’s creations in form or material, indispensable as a preliminary step for the existence of the sky, the earth and life”, this is what the mystical alchemist and 18th-century writer Ramón Llull depicted in his “Liber Chaos” (Book of Chaos). Ramon Llull, in turn was the inventor of the Nocturnum Horologium or Nocturlabe, an instrument that served to detect the position of ships, and was able to make time measurements through the position of stars.

Johannes de Silentio constructs a sound space that is constantly changing, generated by “alchemical” transmutations where meditation, symbiosis, or temporal extrapolation unite, taking us “to the other side”.

Lucius Works Here image

Lucius Works Here Barcelona, Spain

In the 90s he toyed with electronic music production but it wasn’t until 2004 that he created his project named Lucius Works Here. In his work, he captures his own field recordings, makes use of samplers as well as monologues taken from films, and mixes them with his own compositions. The style is bright and organic, at times sounding like IDM, or ambient. ... more
