The Symphonic Multiverse
Edition 003
Normalerweise in 3-5 Werktagen gedruckt
The Symphonic Multiverse is a richly illustrated artist's codex that maps a cosmology where music, language, architecture and matter are treated as a single fabric of vibration. Built around fifteen characters — Sah, Khu, Zo, Ra, Eshu Joyo, Mulungu, Ometeotl and others drawn from across world mythologies — it charts their "fluid relationships" through an orbital planetary system scored with musical pitches, fluid-15 time divisions and intersecting point-field topologies. Its premise is stated plainly midway through: everything is waves, bent and twisted into multiple forms, consciousness travelling through a sea of *informagi*.
The book moves between registers — annotated diagrams of contingencies (instruments, languages, climates, powers, distributions), the Mumagi Arkhaic and Phonetic alphabets, a fragment of SuperCollider synthesis code, and pages of dense ink drawings: floating seed-craft, domed dwellings, an owl sentinel, planetary cross-sections and waveform landscapes. These give way to photographs of British hills, woodland moss, fire and a figure beneath Mount Teide, grounding the invented mythos in observed terrain.
Formatted at 6×9" for print, it functions less as a narrative than as a field guide to an imagined civilisation — equal parts score, atlas, lexicon and sketchbook, holding cosmogony and eschatology in the same hand-drawn breath.
