Itchy-O's TETRAPOLAR PURIFICATION CEREMONY
57-member psychoacoustic rite to reset and rewire, ft. 600-lb instrument debut
57-member avant-experientialists ITCHY-O are bringing their TETRAPOLAR PURIFICATION CEREMONY to the FILLMORE DENVER on Sat. July 16 Specifically engineered as an electromagnetic feast for the senses, join us in an interactive, psycho-sonic rite designed to clear the cobwebs and reset energies. In the wake of recent physio,- psycho-, and sociological ills, the sequence is constructed as a cleansing ritual to recenter humanity and drive out evil forces. The night will feature psychoacoustic arrangements and invites attendees to take part in the interlocking tetrapolar elemental themes of AIR, WATER, and FIRE. Central to the ceremony, Itchy-O will unveil its new SÖM SÄPTÄLAHN, a massive gamelan-inspired instrument cast in partnership with the Colorado School of Mines. More than 600 pounds of metal donated from Denver percussionists as part of the group’s Broken Cymbal Drive were melted down to form the mellifluous monstrosity, which introduces a brand new seven-tone musical scale never before utilized in Eastern or Western composition. The experience promises to elicit a synesthetic syncretic ecstasy, opening heretofore unexplored portals and empowering attendees to create space for good health and fortune, both individually and collectively.
