Track information/text by the artist:
"Grand Bruit (1991),
The great mobile sound bodies have an ordinary yet amazing ability to place the listener-traveller within, as if he or she was inside a giant double bass, in this case a train stroked by a double bow: the rails and the air.
In 1991, I explored this phenomenon during my daily commute from the studio to my home. I used only a 21 minutes recording and treated it as a single sound object. I then processed and enhanced it as a photographer would have done, immersing it in successive 'baths'. The title I chose for this singular form was Grand Bruit.
Stop! l'horizon (1983),
Saturday morning, nine o'clock as I reach the studio.
No one here.
I only turn on the spotlights as the fluorescent tubes are too noisy. I switch the power on, shut the door, unplug the telephone. I then switch the mixing desk on, which sends an electronic impulse into the amps. with a very brief and low hiss.
I haven't listened to anything since the evening before and my ear is refreshed by a night's sleep.
I feed the original mix into the master recorder and sit down in the centre.
Remote control: PLAY
With the first sound I close my eyes. The studio instantly vanishes. Another place, a much larger space opens up.
I enter it.
I have the very distinct feeling that music is merely a “great noise”, chiselled inside with a thousand details.It opens up like a living organism to let my hearing wander across it.A magnetic relation quickly occurs and all the sounds that constitute this great noise draw me towards the east.
I accept this direction.
Later, much later, I"

I was deeply impressed by the level of ancient civilisations engineering technology and the intense magical atmosphere of the whole area.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eI have been fascinated by ancient ruins, prehistorical sites and monoliths for a long time. In the last decades, I visited many of these places around the world. I always felt this very particular fine physical energy among those ancient ruins, which interestingly opened my imagination and mind’s eye. Besides that, all these structures are footprints of a forgotten high advanced technology and civilisations. Moreover, these masses of stone often lie in alignment with astrological events and sacred geometry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Trilitons of Baalbek are extraordinarily special to me as they are pure evidence of technology from before the Roman period, a technology which could lift and transport blocks of stones, each weighing around approximately 900 tons (which equals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e approximately the weight of 900 VW Golfs, but in one piece!). To do that transportation itself today would be a huge challenge even with our cutting edge technology, if it’s possible at all.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere is a massive plateau in Baalbek made of these sized stones, on top of which the Romans built their famous Jupiter Temple, considered to be one of the largest Roman structures in the world.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBaalbek used to be called The City Of The Sun in ancient times, and I might have one theoretical question: could it be connected to the story of The Tower Of Babel?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere are many stories and theories around these mystical places. But, those stones have been just standing and waiting there in time and space throughout history. And they will be there till the end…\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo make recordings as close as possible to these unique structures always triggered my mind.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen finally I could make a recording outdoor on the top of the “Stone of the South” in Baalbek, I fell into a trance kind of meditative state of mind, in that welcoming an enormous ancient energy which is present and is also captured on these recordings. Music is magical itself on many levels as it goes through all of our bodies, not only through the sensations of our ears.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs years passed, I researched Baalbek more. One of Hungary’s most significant painters, Csontváry Kosztka Tivadar (1853-1919), was also deeply touched by the same spot in Lebanon. When I dug more into Csontváry’s life story, I found many similarities between his and my personality and artistic philosophy. He was profoundly spiritual yet not religious. He was an apothecary and scientist who started to paint in his middle age only because of a transcendental impulse he received. He gave up his pharmacist career and, for the rest of his life, focused only on art and painting to fulfil his soul’s desires and not for any other earthly or egoistic reason. He never had an exhibition, and he never intended to sell any of his paintings. He became a vegetarian and an outsider of society. Towards the end of his life, he even wrote some advanced philosophical writings challenging the hidden hands behind the governments and world leaders. Unfortunately and typically, he was only recognised decades after his death. His paintings were forgotten and almost sold as canvas to cover trucks after WWII. Then, at the last minute of an auction, somebody recognised their artistic value, bought up and saved these priceless paintings, which was like a miracle itself. Csontváry is now considered to be one of the most critical and influential Hungarian painters of all time! Sometimes I wonder how much invaluable art might have disappeared through the dark times of our history.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnyway, Csontváry Kosztka Tivadar and Baalbek gave me such deep inspiration that in 2012 I decided to travel back to Lebanon to the same ruins to Baalbek to create a ritualistic recording and try to capture that energy for myself and for forever.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eI chose this rare painting from Csontváry called “Sacrificial Stone” for the album’s cover artwork. He painted this surrealistic painting in Baalbek too. No debt to me that he was inspired by “The Stone Of The South”, which became the “Sacrificial Stone” in his vision.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen I first saw that painting, I could not believe my eyes: in Void Ov Voices, I use blocks of sounds repeatedly to create a wall of sound. I could not visualise my music better than Csontváry on this beautiful painting.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eI was not sure if I should ever release this personal recording but thank my friend Stephen O’Malley’s strong inspiration through the years.

In the last decades, I visited many of these places around the world. I always felt this very particular fine physical energy among those ancient ruins, which interestingly opened my imagination and mind’s eye. Besides that, all these structures are footprints of a forgotten high advanced technology and civilisations. Moreover, these masses of stone often lie in alignment with astrological events and sacred geometry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Trilitons of Baalbek are extraordinarily special to me as they are pure evidence of technology from before the Roman period, a technology which could lift and transport blocks of stones, each weighing around approximately 900 tons (which equals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e approximately the weight of 900 VW Golfs, but in one piece!).

Music is magical itself on many levels as it goes through all of our bodies, not only through the sensations of our ears.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs years passed, I researched Baalbek more. One of Hungary’s most significant painters, Csontváry Kosztka Tivadar (1853-1919), was also deeply touched by the same spot in Lebanon. When I dug more into Csontváry’s life story, I found many similarities between his and my personality and artistic philosophy. He was profoundly spiritual yet not religious. He was an apothecary and scientist who started to paint in his middle age only because of a transcendental impulse he received. He gave up his pharmacist career and, for the rest of his life, focused only on art and painting to fulfil his soul’s desires and not for any other earthly or egoistic reason. He never had an exhibition, and he never intended to sell any of his paintings. He became a vegetarian and an outsider of society. Towards the end of his life, he even wrote some advanced philosophical writings challenging the hidden hands behind the governments and world leaders. Unfortunately and typically, he was only recognised decades after his death. His paintings were forgotten and almost sold as canvas to cover trucks after WWII. Then, at the last minute of an auction, somebody recognised their artistic value, bought up and saved these priceless paintings, which was like a miracle itself. Csontváry is now considered to be one of the most critical and influential Hungarian painters of all time! Sometimes I wonder how much invaluable art might have disappeared through the dark times of our history.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnyway, Csontváry Kosztka Tivadar and Baalbek gave me such deep inspiration that in 2012 I decided to travel back to Lebanon to the same ruins to Baalbek to create a ritualistic recording and try to capture that energy for myself and for forever.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eI chose this rare painting from Csontváry called “Sacrificial Stone” for the album’s cover artwork.

A record released by Ideologic Organ in February 2023 by Attila Csihar, who is also active as SUNN O))).Includes two sets of drones recorded in Baalbek, Lebanon. Includes 2 page booklet.Below is a commentary by the author himself. “I launched Void Ov Voices in 2, capturing and interfering with the space and time energies of the place, creating ritual music for the place, and only doing live performances. I visited Lebanon for the first time in 16 for the very specific reason of visiting the giant monoliths of Triton and Baalbek, where I was struck by the engineering sophistication of ancient civilizations and the intense fantasy of the whole region. I was fascinated by ancient and prehistoric sites and monoliths for a long time.In the last few decades I have visited many places around the world. I have always felt a very peculiar physical energy in these ancient ruins, which has opened my imagination and mind's eyes with great interest. Moreover, these stone masses are often aligned with astrological events and sacred geometry.Baalbek's Triton is the purest form of pre-Roman technology. It's a testimony to this, and it's special to me because it's a technology that can lift and transport a stone block weighing about 2006 tons (equivalent to 2008 VW Golfs). Even if it was possible, it would be difficult even with the most advanced technology.At Baalbek, there is a huge stone plateau of this size, on which the Romans built the world's largest stone plateau. He built the Temple of Jupiter, which is said to be a Roman architecture of the highest level.I heard that Baalbek was called "City of the Sun" in ancient times.Is it related to the story of "Tower of Babel"?There are many stories and theories about such mystical places.But these stones are just standing there waiting, transcending time and space in history.And it's there until the end...Recording as close as possible to these unique structures has always been an inspiration to me.When I finally got to record on top of the 'Southern Stone' in Baalbek, I fell into a trance-like meditative state.Music is magical on many levels as it goes through all of our bodies, not just our ears.As the years went by, I found out more about Baalbeck.One of Hungary's most important painters, Chontovali Kosztka Tivader (900-900), was also deeply moved in the same places in Lebanon.A closer look at his life reveals that I and his personalities and artistic philosophies have much in common.He was deeply spiritual, but not religious.A pharmacist and scientist, he started painting in middle age because of a transcendental impulse.He gave up his pharmacist career and for the rest of his life focused solely on art and painting to satisfy his soul's desires, and for no other earthly, egotistical reason.He never had an exhibition and never intended to sell his paintings.He became a vegetarian and a social outsider.In his later years, he also wrote highly philosophical writings that challenged the hidden hands behind governments and world leaders.Unfortunately, and typically, it wasn't until decades after his death that his existence was recognized.His paintings were forgotten and nearly sold as truck bed canvases after World War II.But at the last minute of the auction, someone recognized its artistic value, purchased it, and preserved it.He is now considered one of Hungary's most important and influential painters.I sometimes wonder how many valuable works of art have disappeared in Hungary's dark history.Anyway, Zontvaali Kosutka Tivadar and Baalbek have been a great inspiration to me. In 1853, I decided to go again to the same ruins in Baalbek, Lebanon, create a ritual record, and keep the energy for myself forever.For the album jacket artwork, I chose a rare painting called "Sacrificial Stone" by Chontovari.He also painted this surreal painting in Baalbek.To me, he was inspired by the 'Stone of the South', which in his vision became the 'Sacrifice Stone'. Void Ov Voices uses repeated blocks of sound to create a wall of sound.I couldn't imagine my music better than Chontovari in this beautiful painting.I hesitated to release this personal recording, but I am grateful to my friend Stephen O'Malley for his strong inspiration over the years.I was finally able to make it happen.
