Inspired by Nkisi’s ongoing research into the ethnographic music archives (1893 till present), Serpent Songs invokes the serpentine movements of sound and the migratory paths of its vibrations. The musical composition delves into the psycho-acoustics inherited from ancient musical traditions. Here, music emerges as an enchanted consciousness; a vessel for its mythopoetic remembrance. Inspired by the primordial snake ancestors of these ancient traditions who shaped landscapes, rivers, and hills, Serpent Songs traces the trails of music they left behind. As a sound archaeology, it uncovers the unexplainable and the cosmologically anomalous, challenging dominant Western traditions and its ideologies. It asks: What is always in danger of being forgotten if not reperformed? Phenomena is experience(d).
