RELIX “On The Verge” Article PDF
By Dana Sobel:
“We’ve been described as a psychedelic circus,”
says guitarist/drummer Chris Mandra.
“But it would be a psychedelic circus where
the performers are everyone.” Using instruments
as ancient as the didgeridoo and as
inventive as the manDrum—a real-time electronic-
based percussion interface that
Mandra developed—the sextet Telesma has
been together since 2002. Their sound
encompasses tribal, rock, trance and Middle
Eastern music, and has influences that
extend beyond musical avenues and delves
into the world of visual art and dance.
Telesma aims for a communal artistic experience,
enlisting belly dancers and performers
to collaborate at their live happenings.Noted
psychedelic painter Alex Grey has shared the
stage with the group, as documented on the
group’s recent DVD Hearing Visions: Live.
“We try to make it an environment where
people want to celebrate being alive.”

About Alex Grey:
Visionary artist Alex Grey was first recognized for his ground-breaking “Sacred Mirrors” collection which took 10 years to complete. This collection, featuring a unique series of 21 life sized paintings,” takes the viewer on a journey toward their own divine nature by examining, in detail, the body, mind, and spirit”. It was during this period that he developed his depictions of the human body that “x-ray” the multiple layers of reality, and reveal the interplay of anatomical and spiritual forces. Alex Grey has since received worldwide acclaim. In pop culture his timeless works have appeared in Tool’s “10,000 Days”, their “Lateralus” album and stage show, The Beastie Boys’ “Ill Communication” and Nirvana’s “In Utero”. Grey’s artwork has also appeared on the cover of Sub Rosa, Newsweek, High Times, Shaman’s Drum, Shambhala Sun, Juxtapoz, Vision,

Lost Symbols @ The Wind Up Space (Baltimore, MD)
“One People, One Planet, Hon! Hidden Meanings of Common Symbols”
Decoding the reverse of America’s Great Seal as a symbol for the God within and the connection to higher consciousness has been the life work of Hieronimus. (He first contacted the State Department about that mysterious eye and pyramid on the one dollar bill in 1968!) Thanks to the best-selling ability of Dan Brown, tens of millions of readers are now being introduced to Hieronimus’s work in the form of Brown’s new novel, The Lost Symbol. On November 14th, Baltimore music fans and art lovers will hear a personal explanation of how our nation’s most common symbols ultimately point to the same thing: unity, balance, and attaining a state of higher consciousness. Learn how to decipher symbols for yourself. Next door in the large warehouse space there is also the opportunity for attendees to paint their own symbolic artwork. After his presentation, Dr. Hieronimus and assistants will create symbolic mural to the transformative music of TELESMA Selections of Hieronimus’s 40 years of symbolic art will be on display at The Windup Space from November 1 through December 31, 2009. Also on display will be selections from the rock and roll celebrity photographs of Stuart Zolotorow. From Brooks Robinson to Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Willie Nelson, Zolotorow has photographed and published some of the legends of popular music and sports. Cultural heroes and mythology are essential to the health of stable society, and Zolotorow’s photos of our contemporary heroes remind us all to aim for the stars and that our purpose in life is to change the world. Afterward, Neil Kurlander (Soul Mob Productions DJ) will bless the decks till 2am.
