Æquinoctium by feinstruktur
Æquinoctium (single)
A solar equinox is a moment in time when the Sun appears directly above the equator, rather than to its north or south. On the day of the equinox, the Sun appears to rise directly east and set directly west. This occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September.
An equinox is equivalently defined as the time when the plane of Earth's equator passes through the geometric center of the Sun's disk.
The word is derived from the Latin aequinoctium, from aequus (equal) and nox (night). On the day of an equinox, daytime and nighttime are of approximately equal duration all over the planet.
The holiday of the autumnal equinox is known variously among neopagans as Mabon, Harvest Home, or Feast of the Ingathering. A name used by neo-druids is Alban Elfed. It is a neopagan festival of thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth and a recognition of the need to share them to secure the blessings of the Goddess and the Gods during the coming winter months.
I am an experimental sound artist, composer & musician working mostly digitally.
I love exploring weird & strange sound realms & environments; give all these happy little accidents space to breath and unfold.
