The Orbout herald — colours of the seven notes, geometry of harmony, balance of light and dark

Orbout

original music, film, performance & creative infrastructure

Tractatus.

Music has been practiced at birth, marriage, death, war, work, and worship — as part of the rituals that make a life and a society cohesive.

Orbout is a house of this practice, kept alive between musicians and collaborators — continuing the tradition from old to new.

Orbout composes, practices, records, and performs pieces for these moments — to celebrate and honour them.

Our work makes audible geometry, shaped through human collaboration — leaving a record future generations can hear.

It rests on craft, character, and the quality we aim at.

Since the dawn of time, the secret of the holy grail has been guarded by the Knights Templar of the Rosicrucians.

The grail, most sacred of all holy relics, was said to heal all wounds and bring spiritual redemption through forgiveness of sin - salvation.

What the holy order of Rosicrucian Knights had kept secret from the world for all these years, was a deep knowledge of the universe.

The universe itself was a musical instrument, and the Holy Grail was not a relic at all, but a tone.

The Golden Tone.

A divine resonance, a miracle of nature, this holy tone has been heard by inventors and wise men at every great discovery and invention.

It freed whoever heard it from their preconceptions and gave them clarity and true insight into the world as is, which allowed them to shape it according to their will.

Lost for centuries, it is said that in the age of men, the Golden Tone could only be brought forth by the unification of 7 master musicians from each of the ancient tribes, playing music embedded with cultural traditions of the world and by connecting to our common ancestors through the vibrations of the music.

This group was a sacred heritage of musicians known as The Source of Curves.

It was believed by the last remaining Rosicrucians to have been lost forever, as the ancient cultural traditions had all but died out from globalisation and gentrification,

The last of the Knights Templar that guarded the secret of the universe as an instrument, saw the world of music in peril, flooded by machine made replicas and the culture of music itself was now at stake, as it became increasingly difficult for musicians to survive, and practice the holy art - the lifeblood of our universe.

They witnessed in dismay, as the Shadowlords of the Ordo Tacentis, half men - half machines, ousted our governments from power and implemented their machine intelligence in every level of society, under the guise of convenience and productivity.

A machine intelligence that served only their nefarious purpose - to silence the song of the human heart once and for all.

Only the Rosicrucians knew that to silence the song of the human heart, would be the end of the universe.

Hope awakened, as a young Danish pilgrim given the mystical name of Pitum, visited the desert region of Pakistan, Sehwan, where it is said music was first played, to participate in a great Sufi Ritual, the first of the 7 ancient tribes.

As he became entranced by the sound of the great Nobad, the drum of creation, the Rosicrucians visited him with a vision of the world, and the fate of the universe. He had to ally the 7 tribes, and reunite the Source of Curves, to bring forth the Golden Tone and save mankind from the darkness of the intelligent machines, before the universe goes silent forever.
