"Throughout history, humanity has been driven by an insatiable desire to unlock its full potential. From the ancient alchemists seeking the Philosopher’s Stone and the elixir of life to modern biohackers experimenting with nootropics and longevity hacks, this quest for self-optimization is deeply ingrained in our collective psyche. While the tools and terminology have evolved, the essence of the pursuit remains strikingly similar: to enhance health, focus, memory, intelligence, and longevity."

"Honey for the Ants completes an ‘alchemical trilogy’, after The Funnel and Syphon. These albums are informed by mystical and gnostic texts, celebrating the weird, unhinged and occasionally beautiful.In this forthcoming album the tonalities have shifted from mediaeval and renaissance to modernist dissonances. New singers and instrumentalists contribute to an emotional and textural richness achieved in a collaborative process. Distant musical periods, real and fictitious, are nonchalantly interwoven to create a delirious mongrel that salutes the imagination.Wojciech Rusin is a Polish-born audio visual artist based in London. He draws inspiration from alchemical and gnostic texts, early renaissance choral music and Eastern European mythologies. He released Syphon LP on AD 93 in 2022 and The Funnel LP on Akashic Records in April 2019. He designs and makes 3D-printed reed instruments, reworking ancient designs with contemporary 3D modelling technologies."

"Atorène’s course starts with the presentation of the Philosophical Week, which is the musical interval of the Last Cooking, then continues with the musical notation and Law of Attraction. Before getting to the Egg’s Densities Variations, and Degrees of Fire, the Canseliet’s apprentice provides the reader unfamiliar with the mathematical laws of the proportions of the sound with the construction of notes, intervals, and scales, and Pythagoras, as well as Zarlino’s, range."
