Hierospháneia

Hierospháneia is the purist version of the term “hierophany” (from the Greek hieros = sacred and pháneia = to reveal, to bring to light). A “hierophany” is a manifestation of sacred forces in which what is shown is not God in a personal sense, but rather the sacred sense of the Cosmos, the profound value of the spirit of divinity that fills everything.
Hierospháneia are Xavier de Palau (composer, musician and software developer) and Rafael Balaguer (astronomer, prehistorian and scientific disseminator), who have been collaborating on several multidisciplinary projects since 2011.

Their first album, “Music From Light” is the result of transforming spectroscopy data obtained from different celestial bodies into sound. The result is a piece of music, not inspired by the stars but truly extracted from their light, with very little human intervention. It is the authentic music of the spheres, the result of a new transversal vision where art is flooded with science.

Welcome to a journey into another reality of the Cosmos through the sense of hearing, built on the foundations of the science of spectroscopy and astronomy, as well as the use of modern technological tools: telescopes, computers, and synthesizers.
