Samekhmem

There has always been and will always be Samekhmem.
Seek not to understand the birth of Samekhmem.
True comprehension of this is beyond regular thought.
Place your mind, instead, in the center of the universe and allow yourself to dwell in the infinite.
When you know Samekhmem, you will realise that you have always known Samekhmem.
This truth extends beyond all imaginable constraints.
You will know the eternal message of Samekhmem.
It has always been heard by you and you will always be part of it.

Samkhmem are performers of the Sacred Eternal Drone – a perpetual vibration that has always been and will always continue. This is both a performance fiction and a genuine proposition, without contradiction. They protect the Ark of Silence, the source of un-sound that creates space for the Sacred Eternal Drone to flow continuously through time. By participating in the sacrament, a rite of separation, the congregation enter into the collective mystery of the Sacred Eternal Drone.  

Samekhmem offer a meditative environment for the audience’s inner journey, before words, before music. By using ‘remote listening’, fans can experience past and future Samekhmem performances, which exist in flux between eternal duration and linear time.

The Other Place

Do you dream? Have you ever imagined something impossible? Do you have hopes for the future? Then you’re already on the way to The Other Place: a collective space of thought or dreams, the space of the future or potential, as well as the assemblage that produces those ideas.

The Other Place cannot be seen from the outside, it doesn’t already exist, it must be built.

A set of interconnected groups sprang up, who used schizo-productive fabulation to create alternatives and make new connections, affirming the nonsense this can produce, bringing about situations in which social interaction transforms the site into a social space.

‘We can escape the commonplace only by manipulating it, controlling it, thrusting it into our dreams or surrendering it to the free play of our subjectivity.’ – Raoul Vaneigem
