In this magical and ceremonial sound and movement
journey, Olox invites you to explore the state of your Kut-Sür or "force
of the soul" through a combination of traditional songs with modern
acoustic and electronic beats. Traditional Arctic sounds of northern birds,
animals and the reindeer breath (arctic throat beat-box) combined with vibrant
percussion and electronic music will have you dancing all night long! You will
also learn the traditional Sakha ”Dance of Pattern” (sacred geometry dance) and
northern bird and animal dances. Olox offers a truly unique and new genre of
sound that you won't hear anywhere else as they bridge traditional Artic sounds
and rituals with new technologies.
Drawing from deep wisdom of the Sakha neoshamans, this
Olox sound and movement journey will strengthen, purify and protect your
Kut-Sür or “the force of the soul.” According to the tradition of the Sakha
people in Siberia, every person is made of three spirits and ether, referred to
collectively as Kut-Sür or “the force of the soul.”
“Kut” is the spirit consisting of 3 initial elements: Iye
Kut (soul), Buor Kut (body), Salgyn Kut (mind). “Sur” is an ether that holds
the three spirits and determines a person’s behavior. The Sakha people believe
that when all three Kuts are in balanced and protected, the person is full,
happy and healthy. The people of Sakha use sound and dance to purify,
strengthen and protect their Kut-Sür.
-Please wear clothing you feel comfortable moving in-
Olox is the creative union between Andreas Jones and
Zarina Kopyrina which is a fusion of heart rhythms and electronic sounds mixed
with ethnic songs from the native Sakha people from Siberia characterized by
animal, bird and deep nature vocals.
Zarina was born in a small village in Sakha (arctic
Siberia) and was three years old when she started to learn the language of the
birds and animals. Her voice takes its breath from traditional Sakha culture
and is truly an instrument. She is the creator of “arctic beatbox” - the
reindeer breath and is the author of “Neoshamanic Healing.”
Andreas was born to a Greek-Armenian family of healers
and musicians and was four years old the first time he played the drums. He is
the creator of a unique drumming technique where one person can become a
multi-instrumentalist. His vocals are rooted in ancient Armenian singing
(mugham) and Tibetan bon chanting.
Cost: $30 - $35
