Antiquarian Adventures in Meta-Reality Steve Patterson

As a Winter Solstice offering to our listeners we present an Ambient Soundscape!
This music was used as the sonic accompaniment for the museum of Magic and Folklore- West Cornwall.
It is intended to be evocation of that numinous presence which ever broods within the inner-landscapes of the far south west.. with all its harmonies, dissonances, twists and turns.
It is composed of a series of recordings from between 1983 and 2021, and has also been featured in the first series of Antiquarian Adventures in meta-Reality.

From Stonehenge festival 1984, my childhood on the North Downs, folk-customs and megaliths - A journey through the four seasons of the year through the eye of the unmanifest ever ever-present fifth season of our imagination.

Tales of Grimoires, Alchemy, books of magic and the twist and turns they take in their journey from the triangle of Arte to the printing press and beyond ...and the dead ends they sometimes encounter!

Continuing adventures in the holy land at the turn of the millennium. A journey down the dragon-line from St Michaels mount in Cornwall to the altar of Baal at Megiddo, in search of the “Watchers” and the spirit of the land.

At the beginning of the millennium I took a trip to Israel in the hope of exploring the roots of the western mysteries. This is a journey from the world of east Anglian witchcraft to the arid landscapes of the Middle East and beyond.

Steve Patterson interviews internationally renown sculptor Tim Shaw, discoursing on such matters as art, folklore, politics and the nature of the mask.
