Listen
https://gradualhaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/ophite-diagramThe term Ophite derived from the Greek Ophis = Serpent.
"An initiate must transcend this inherently earth, and move beyond. Armed with formulae s/he next walks freely through the gates, the barrier is behind them. Between the trees of knowledge they cross the circles; the yellow and blue. A little further beyond the void, and through life, to be surrounded by love. Here is the culmination of the journey, a few more steps and they are in; at Home."

Mare di Dirac is an electro-acoustic collective project founded in 2009 by two italians sound artists; Lorenzo Abattoir, member of various projects within the noise scene (Psicopompo, Abattoir & Satori, Satanismo Calibro 9) & Poseitrone, who plays ethnical instruments and analog electronics.
The concept is based on the fundamental principles of Quantum Physics applied to field recording of ritualistic practices from different traditons . Acoustic resonances of instruments and natural effects of a space, are used as additional sound sources, where any elements are structured to create an unusual process of composition.
