EAT LIQUID is a Live LP by Annika Henderson, aka ANIKA, composed for and performed at the Zeiss Planetarium in Berlin in Feb 2023.
Can music be used to elevate the consciousness into psychedelic experiences?
We all seek escape in differing moments, through drugs, alcohol, sex and film but can music offer an alternative? Anika offers a journey into another realm, a safe place, a-top a dreamy soundscape of whining synths, siren calls, long-tailed guitar, all over the grid, to re-find the center of ourselves, a stay-cation to the inner realm, to unpick the stresses of modern day life – a complete experiment with no sinister motives. Spoken word includes cut-ups from Timothy Leary’s 'The Psychedelic Experience' 'First Bardo Instructions' during 'Climb On Board'.
STARGAZING WITH ANIKA
A poem written by Hanne Lippard in the context of the Planetarium.
Gazing at the stars
Which are not real stars
But a theater imitating the sky
in a man-made dome-shaped space
I think of asterisks
Those small stars
That are placed at the end of a word
To indicate that this is not the end
Not the end of the word
Not the end of the world
Not the end of a man-made doomed space Not the end of the sky
But rather a continuation
Of its endlessnessnessnessnessnessness
