Holderlin

Japanese release of debut album from 1972 of the romantic progressive rock band from germany features seven tracks & sounds like a blend of Amon Duul II, Yatha Sidhra, & Jefferson Airplane.

Profondamente partecipe dello spirito del suo tempo, Hölderlin sperimenta che l'elemento di "inconciliabilità" della filosofia "alla fine nuovamente confluisce nelle misteriose fonti della poesia", come si legge nel romanzo "Iperione", e che dunque l'originaria e sempre rinnovantesi unità della natura sopravanza quella della coscienza. Ciò che più di tutto lo affascina è il ritmo armonico del vivente, che procede per opposizioni e unificazioni irrisolte.

The sonata ""Four Elements"" takes the four classical elements, often attributed to Empedocles, as inspiration for the four movements of a sonata. These classical elements of earth, air, water, and fire have a rich history of associative meaning. Thinkers as ancient as Thales and Heraclitus, and as recent as Carl Jung, have been fascinated by the multi-layered symbolism inherent in these seed ideas. They are also key concepts in the western esoteric traditions, appearing in astrology, tarot dards, the qabalistic tree of life, and any variety of magical arts. I was inspired to capture something of the unique and complex qualities of each element, yet also to connect them, as they are dynamically related to each other.
