Info zu Ritual

Die Stille ist eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung für das Erscheinen des Klangs, um das Wort bewohnbar zu machen. Als die Sprache nicht in der Lage war, die tiefsten menschlichen Abgründe auszudrücken, entstand die Musik als privilegierter Weg, um uns mit dem Mystischen, mit dem transzendenten Element der Wirklichkeit in Kontakt zu bringen. So entstand der musikalische Ritus, bei dem Wort und Melodie Hand in Hand gehen, um einen Raum zu betreten, in dem Geister und Götter verehrt, das Unbekannte und sogar das Verbotene angerufen werden. Der Ritus ist ein heiliges und geschütztes Zeremoniell, ein symbolischer Ort, an dem sich die Menschen versammeln, um Zugang zum Unmanifesten zu finden, zu dem, was sich gerne versteckt. Die Musik ist das Herzstück des Ritus, der Takt, der Leben spendet und die Rhythmen der Zeremonie erhellt. Aber wenn der Ritus die Landkarte ist, dann deshalb, weil er auch die Grenzen aufzeigt, alles, was sich unserem Verständnis entzieht. Der Ritus ist der Zugang zum Geheimnisvollen, und die Musik ist das Vehikel, das uns in diese terra incognita führt. Aus diesem Grund geht die Musik schließlich in das Reich der Stille über, in dem ihre Reise ihren Höhepunkt findet. Die Musik ist ein Ritus, weil sie die einzige Sprache ist, die uns in den Zustand des Möglichen zurückführt. Musik ist Ritus, weil sie die einzige Sprache ist, die zu uns über das Unmögliche spricht.
