The sound of the constant present.
How long does the present last?

A wave moving over a timeline can be perceived as a representation of definite positions of a single traveling entity. Each unpredictable moment of this personal timeline is fatal, even when not observed; these points of certain positions in certain times create an evolutionary function of the final wave of personal experience. As a matter of interpretation, we have a speed limit inscribed in our known universe that never changes its linearity, always rushing forward, forming matter around itself. All that we have been before, all that we have ever tried to be, all that we have been hoping to be… hitherto time and space collapses. There is no past, no future as we stand on the edge of an everlasting dead end.
All that is left is Hitherto; a hypothesis of equilibrium.

A long anticipated project, from a personal perspective, based on research of particle physics and astrophysics in relation to psychology of human behavior. Main theory and concept were based on final writings of the PhD thesis Audiovisual performance - Hyperspeed reach, researching patterns of trinities in all different fields of experiences; in personal life, in arts, in social environment, in science, in fiction, in spiritual world, in mental sickness….

Thinking and preparing strategies of new sounds creation lead to the idea of hieros gamos - sacred marriage, a hermetic symbol of sexual connection of male and female element, described in mythology, alchemy, as well in Jungian psychology. This moment came to me as revelation of relationship of my inner characters, which I discovered in previous years. The two sides of existence, matter and antimatter, run by the principle of energy exchange. In my case inner anima/akkamiu and animus/kolon which are supported by their master and leader spirit antipode, who is the archetype of power and will. There is also E, my ego and our whole family (not to forget my shadows represented by my cats) creates the complex self, which is endlessly over and over transformed and mutated…….

Manipulating the idea of hiero...to the point of coincidence - favorite method of creation... I came across the medical text about otoacoustic emissions, which I implement into my music. And there I saw in a sentence: "hitherto unexpected", which reminded me contextually extended and enriched hiero. Hitherto - standing for the meaning "up till now, up to this time, to this place or point".

For a reason of representing sound I chose hiT͟Hərˈto͞o written in a form, which suggest the correct pronunciation. Rooting in natural inclination to exploration, so I continue to produce experimental music, but my new direction is finally leading me to TECHNO realm, which has big impact on me since 1992….but back to present.

hiT͟Hərˈto͞o is a live experimental techno set under paws of akkamiau:
