Music: Alie N. Clock II's 'Hymn of Alchemy' - Paul Ferguson - 04-02-2025
"I present to you my didactic esotericism-art-music experiment, “The Hymn of Alchemy,” a musical exposition of Goethean and Boehmean alchemy. Visually experimental, I animated a good portion of the Splendor Solis alchemical manuscript, a page from the Ripley scrolls, among other famed alchemical images to make it. I present an explanation at the end as well, explaining what exactly Boehmean and Goethean alchemy is, so it’s intended to be aesthetically fascinating yet also rigorous in a scholarly sense. I’ve read Boehme extensively, written a good ten thousand words on Boehme’s alchemy in my PhD thesis, and some of the lines in the end come directly from Boehme with poetic modifications. Other than Boehme, I also took a lot of inspiration from Ronald Gray’s Goethe the Alchemist, hence the Goethean elements."
