TAURUS | VENUS - mythology, our visual & sonic approach
Venus rules both, Taurus & Libra. The Love Goddess appears to be a universal archetype, linking to Inanna, Isis, Ishtar, Aphrodite, Freya, Artemis, the Great Goddess. Venusian themes and objects are: Copper, Emerald, Blue, Green, Lucre, Beauty, Fertility, Life & Death, Abundance, Mugwort, Sensuality, Lust, Rose, the Evening Star & the Morning Star (Lucifer). Its symbol is a circle with a cross below it, which is linked to the Egyptian Ankh and also the alchemical symbol for Copper. And, of course, the symbol for the female sex. Planet Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, it was the first planet to have its motions plotted across the sky, as early as the 2nd Millennium B.C.. The pattern, that Venus’s movements make as observed from Earth, are forming a Pentagram. Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky, the Moon being the brightest.
Zodiac Sounds create images, still and moving, which are leaning on these themes and archetypes. Exploring, connecting & conveying them. Our sonic ventures through the Zodiac Signs begin with assigning each to its individual tone. Doing this, we do not follow the traditional method, which is linear, starting with Aries, the first Zodiac Sign, and associating it with C, the first tone of the scale. That would mean to combine D/Taurus, E/Gemini and so forth. Regarding harmony and triad though, it makes much more sense for us, to take a new, our own, approach. Our compositions are based on the Pythagorean circle of fifths and the astrological elements Fire, Earth, Water & Air.
The keynotes for each element's Zodiac Signs are related to each other via 120° angles. An Earth Sign triangle (Taurus-A/Virgo-E/Capricorn-B), a Water triangle, a Fire triangle, the Air triangle. The melodies are composed of recurring motifs which derive from every Zodiac Sign's constellation of stars in the night sky. Via these motifs we improvise and use a third tool, our perception, which conducts pace & rhythm of the music. In doing so, we totally trust and follow our hearts, minds and bodies, which are powered and driven by the formidable & unfathomable universe.
