about

In this concept work NCT333 explores the roots of southern Italian folk music by recovering its sacral origins linked to the Mysteries cults of the Ancient Greece, accordingly to his own stylistic features.

The hypnotic rhythms of tarantella, pizziche and tammuriate merged into NCT33 industrial / ambient’s style creates a sort of introspective techno / ambient / folk with a shamanic attitude.

The author's intent is to unlock a path to retrieve the sacredness of dance as a mean to the catharsis and the ascetic ecstasy, typical of the "Traditional" societies, way far from the modern function of dancing as an anodyne daze.

This work attempts to show the link between the taranta’s bite to the alchemical dragon’s one "that does not heal, an incurable wound that cannot be cured on the quaternary level, stilted to the eternal cyclical flow, requiring a heroic and tragic ascetic path in a straight line, where dance becomes a symbol of struggle between opposite phenomenical poles and the sexual magic is a way to the supreme synthesis.
This the reason why the phenomenon of tarantism can be found, in the process of Christianization, under the aegis of the "Gnostic" St. Paul.

Santu Paulu meu de le tarante
My Saint Paul of the tarantulas

Ca pizzichi le caruse a 'mmenzu ll'anche
that bite girls between their thighs

Santu Paulu meu de li scurzuni
My Saint Paul of snakes

Ca pizzichi li carusi a li cuiuni
that bite boys in the balls

E santu Paulu meu de le tarante
My Saint Paul of the tarantulas

Pizzichi le caruse e le fai sante
that bite girls making them holy.
