BOOM 2010 will be a chance to experience music as life.

Boom 2010 will be... something i have been looking forward to doing for a long time. I came to Boom very early on in its conception, and i do not know if it was my English bad luck, but minutes before i was due to play, the area had its first rainfall in over 20 years! One of the maddest thunder and lightning storm’s i had ever seen. There was no roof over the stage and i was getting electric shocks off of the lights and equipment, i felt doubly bad as i had another gig to travel to straight away and so never got to play… So this time, i am gonna unleash hell on the dancefloor!

SUZANNE STERLING Performing at Sacred Fire and Liminal Zone BOOM 2010 will be a juicy, daring exploration of Art, Culture and Beauty: gloriously interweaving spontaneous moments of devotion with well crafted acts of delight and evolution!

SALLY DOOLALLY Performing at Dance Temple

HILIGHT TRIBE

I am very excited to be playing once again at what seems now to be my usual Boom spot of closing the Temple main floor on one of the gorgeous sunny afternoons! Can’t wait to see the amazing sea of smiling faces once again! Let’s Boom!!!

Performing at Sacred Fire Every time Hilight Tribe plays in the Boom, we feel like there´s been a shift of reality in our lives, pushing us to leap on to the next step! Each member of the band is really excited to play in this giant alternative village where love, trance and freedom are shared by thousands of people. Jimi Hendrix said: ”When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” Let's try to live that dream...

One love and Bhom Shankar!

THE AMSTERDAM BALLOON COMPANY (ABC)

VANDANA SHIVA Speaker at Liminal Zone I and my son Kartikey are excited to be participating at Boom this year where different worlds and creative minds meet to forge new paths in how we live and care for our planet Earth. Boom reflects the paradigm shift that is gradually taking place at a global level where outmoded, self-interested thinking is making way for a new spirit of sharing, cooperation and planetary wellbeing. I am happy to be part of that process.

Performing at Theatroom Boom 2010 will be a huge international show where we can share our experiences and knowledge. It’s a world of culture from all over the world. It’s a different new world filled with music and sharing fair different from usual and that’s why this is a very unique event. People come from all over the world to see, to take part and to have a mark of this fantastic event on their lives. With Boom, we all live the show together.

Performing at Visionary Art Gallery BOOM 2010 will be a transformative and enlightening experience for thousands, reaching out to millions... To inspire joy and appreciation of our beautiful planet and ourselves!

Legendary renegade art collective, ABC came to life in 72’ when a group of artists and writers squatted the village of Ruigoord. Local authorities had planned to build a harbor, leaving Ruigoord free of inhabitants while opening a whole new world to music and arts.

The group organised kite festivals and made annual trips to free cultural spaces across the world. They planted thousands of trees, creating a beautiful forest in the area.

Opposition from authorities in 98’ led to destruction of the forest as hundreds of activitsts tried to save it.

Police and barbed wire surrounded the village until it was finally legalized as a freecultural zone. Today it’s home to a number of themed events.

The ABC group of poets, musicians, visual artists and jugglers invite one and all to join them.

A transnational network between free cultural spaces and festivals has been created by placing 3 Axis Mundi in Ruigoord, Christiana and Doel.

With the 4th set up right here, Boom becomes part of this network. ABC will be staging shows on a daily basis throughout the festival and at ABC camp. Come and join in the fun!

BOOM SUPPORTS LOCALISM

oom is in tune with the paradigm of the transition town and its ethos for supporting local economies. Regional brand, Fonte da Fraga sources water locally from the nearby Serra da Gardunha Mountains. Meanwhile, fruitjuices, from Frubaça, contain natural bio fruits of the Alcobaça region – a fresh, wholesome, energy-providing option sourced from the co-operative of local farmers in the area.

B

Buying local to support the economy is not only beneficial to the community which we come to meet each edition of Boom, but also excellent for health while demonstrating an activist approach to sustainable living in this consumerist, increasingly globalized world.

Organic produce sourced locally or grown independently is one of the most empowering forms of activism that can help us to Make Change Happen.

W EMERGENCY GREEN CLINIC AND HAPPY HERBAL PHARMACY

OPENING CEREMONY The Official Boom 2010 Opening Ceremony takes place at the Healing Area, 19th August from 6pm until 7pm. We do a special Puja of instrumental music and chanting of ancient heritage from across the world. We bring together chanting as homage to water: mantras from India, chanting from the Peyote tradition or music from Sikh devotion.

Come and give your energy to set in motion a festival of pure intention, one-ness and love.

ECO-TEER Humanism is imperative

B Boom has been working with green volunteer organisation, gre Ecoteer, founded in 2005 by environmental conservationist, Daniel Quilter. From working with turtles in Malaysia to teaching street children in Peru, the organisation provides opportunities for indivuals to travel with a cause. This edition, Boom has taken on many volunteers to help preserve nature, nourish the land and build sustainable structures. Many of these volunteers have been sourced from Ecoteer, enabling Boom to work with like-minded individuals with the same goal in mind. www.ecoteer.com

A far cry from the pain-numbing options of the pharmaceutical industry, Boom is happy to host the Emergency Clinic and Happy Herbal Pharmacy.

The Emergency Green Clinic and Happy Herbal Pharmacy provide alternative remedies for ailments including: menstrual pain, eye and ear problems, panic attacks, urinary infections, cuts, swelling, sunburn, insect bites, fever, diarrhoea, allergies, sore throats and headaches.

Ayurveda-based treatments also include cures for detoxification, not to mention the perpetual hangover. There will also be foot care treatments, lymphatic drainage and Shirodagua to help with anxiety. anxiety Wheat grass juice is used use to boost and rehydrate metabolism, reh while ingredients such w as Dandelion tincture stimulates the system and helps eliminate toxins. el For Boomers inspired to learn, a number of “Magic learn workshops Hat” work ksh hops ttake ake k place from 11am, including Thai-Yoga massage, Indian head massage and an introduction to herbalism.

Be conscious of mind, body and soul and stay well and healthy at Boom this year!

BOOM’S KIOSQUES: Tasting the Local and the Tropical!

We want to do the most tasteful Boom ever. Much like Boom’s diverse range of art and culture, food too is presented as a universal language that everybody can enjoy.

Throughout the site, colourful hexagonal kiosques are offering the taste of local products and tropical fruits. Brazil’s legendary fruit, Açaí, can be discovered near the Dance Temple. From organic drinks, fair trade ice-creams and coffee to a variety of bio-teas, raw foods, superfoods and healthy recipes – there are many tasty ways to enjoy Boom this edition. Warm up your soul and take care of yourself at Boom kiosques with an exploration of tantalizing cross-cultural cuisine!

ith Portuguese laws allowing harm-reducing practices, Kosmicare has been set up to take care of people enduring difficult psychedelic experiences. Located near Tripical Beach, Kosmicare is staffed by a professional team of psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, paramedics and doctors.

Boom first began hosting this harm-reduction initiative in 2002 with support from MAPS and in 2008 was re-designed as a leading project in the psychoactive field at festivals.

At Boom 2010, Kosmicare have developed a laboratory for substance testing, monitored

by NGO, Check-In. This harm reduction measure can be tried and tested near the Dance Temple bar.

Other Kosmicare partners include Erowid and MAPS - two important organizations reknowned reknown forfor their their research, research, information, treatment and testing of psychedelics today.

Please go to the Kosmicare Dome if you or someone around you is endurng a difficult psychological experience.

TRIPICAL BEACH

The coolest place around Tripical is an alternative adventure and one of the most interesting spots on the site. A 5-minute walk from camping this is a beach bar, with a stunning beach, small forest and a playground-feel. It is the best place for a swim at Boom. There’s also a great bar with cocktails, good food and juices.

Enjoy amazing art decor, towering light sculptures, lots of shade and teleporting cubicles that swing from trees. Bring your mp3 player, iPod or laptop to be DJ for a couple of hours and you can be a part of the Tripical line-up of DJs. Enjoy yourself in this Boom paradise.

Boom is a feast of art, an expression for creativity where we light up our collective awareness. We are the neo-tribalists seeking truth and pure joy.

THIS IS YOUR TRIBE From art and Interculturalism to knowledge and environment – collectively, we journey from unconscious to conscious evolution… This is your world! This is your tribe! This is Boom!

KNOWLLEDGE

ART

Boom is a temporary autonomous zone.

Art is everywhere. From the bamboo

structures of Gerard Minakawa and canya creations of Jonathan Wright, to the nebulous entities of Michael Christian and visionary art of Carey Thompson, Xavi, Android Jones or Amanda Sage. Colour, form, space, light – the art of Cosmic Walkers, Lugu, Shrine, Sagaz Corp or Le Kaleidoscope Creature speaks to the heart… Theatrical spectaculars; live art performances, dance and creativity – art is everywhere and the symbolism prevalent within it, holds transcendent truths relevant to the cosmic order, contributing to an evolving consciousness.

The wisdom of ancient times provide us with an understanding

of our existence. exist i We are living in the now; acutely conscious of the future and we make con profound refl re ections on the wisdom of our ancestors.

The Liminal Limina Zone has become a focal point for learning, evolving since 2002 when it was known ev as the Dynamic Mythologies Tent. Going deeper, here, we navigate with workshops and conferences uncharted waters in: Frontiers of Love; of Space and Time; of Behaviour; Mind; Body; Evolution; and of Art and Sound.

ENVIRONMENT

In re-learning what we have always known, we repair our relationship with the Sacred Earth. From the hydrogen-run waste vegetable

generators and solar panels that are powering the Boom to composting toilets and pioneering biotechnologies that use aquatic plants to clean grey water – environment is priority here. With the Boom Lab and our energy project based on solar technologies, Boom has reduced its carbon footprint by 50 percent compared with 2008. The aim is to leave no trace as we gear up to creating a carbon zero festival – embrace this cause!

INTERCULTURALISM A kkaleidoscopic l id pic i vista i ta off tthe h world, 20,000 people from almost 100 countries come together for Boom 2010.

The intercultural nature of the festival is a window into the soul of the collective consciousness that exists in the world. Welcoming microcosms of subcultures, Boom is a planetary gathering; an evolutionary mutation transcending biology as people open hearts to interaction and dialogue, coming together as ONE. We create a new reality without prejudice and demonstrate a peaceful world is possible. Interculturalism is reflected everywhere at Boom: in the global, galactical, universal, astral, water themes visible in the very structures that surround us, at the restaurants and in the works of artists from across this planet and neighboring galaxies.

THE DROP

A festival within a festival, The Drop is a melting pot between knowledge and art. The complex design of the bamboo structure is created by Gerard Minakawa and the Bamboo DNA team and becomes a hub for the Inner Visions Art Gallery; the Liminal Zone – which includes a talk by Vandana Shiva and the Funktion One inventor Tony Andrews; the Theatroom, featuring engaging performances from the likes of DRK; and a series of workshops. Here is the ultimate experience of knowledge, design and art.

GROOVY BEACH

The unique pallet structure of the Groovy Beach created by The DoLab collective becomes home to a spectrum of sounds spanning dubstep, techno, cosmic disco, dub-techno, deep techno, glitch, bass and all the funky, bombastic beats in between. Featuring Alex Under, A Guy Called Gerald, Fluxion, Expander, Minilogue, Marcel Dettman, Ben Ufo and much

DANCE TEMPLE

This is where Boom began, it is the Festival’s energetic epicenter. To express the

most noble energy, we built the Dance Temple in collaboration with designers, artists, geometry experts with much passion for psytrance. Going back to the days of Goa Trance, legendary acts of the old school bring it on in a special retrospective that includes Gus Till, Green Nuns and Psychopod. Cinema and psytrance come together for the first time in the history of psytrance as OOOD perform a live set alongside an activism-driven animation by indie filmmaker, Anita Shukla. Delving deep into the realms of psytrance, a fusion of all things full-on, melodic, dark, tribal, twisty, prog, suomi takes us to new dimensions with highlights such as Eat Static, Phatmatix, System 7, Penta, Liquid Ross, Master Blasters, Zen Mechanics and more, more, more!

A special ethno-trance night on 25th August crosses continents and diminishes borders with

SACRED FIRE

live acts including Wild Marmalade, Hilight Tribe, Terrakota, Ganga Giri, Olive Tree Dance and more. The zome 12-sides geometry is reflected across the area.

Gardens are the treasure of a landscape carved with magic. Temples devoted to the Sacred Feminine and Masculine are there for all to tap into their primordial archetypes. With the Green Welfare area dedicated to massage, wellbeing, therapy, healing, counselling, this is the home of unconditional love.

HEALING AREA

It is the formation of the sacred Mandala – the cosmic diagram

representing the universe, which inspires the concept of the Healing Area. From Indian, Sufi, Thai and Taoist meditation workshops – to Tantra and Kundalini yoga: The journey from the microcosm to the macrocosm that defines the experience here. At the Sound Temple, the likes of Bradford Tilden take us on a journey to meditative states with live acoustic music that taps into the vibrations of the soul. The Puja area features two daily practices of yoga, including Qigong. Utilizing a 7x5m pool, aquatic therapies explore the healing potential of water with workshops in Tai Chi, contact dance in water and WatSu (Water Shiatsu).

PERFORMING ARTS

Performing arts Performin magnify the spirit of the festival. Eerie freaks of

the underworld, paranormal fairies, fearless warriors of the fire fly spontaneously towards us across the festival site. Portuguese forum-theatre group, DRK create improvised social scenarios, dissolving borders between artists and audience. Arche Dream for Mankind kick up a storm with black-light mask drama at the Theatroom... Look out too, for cosmic dragons stalking the festival site as Saurus bring it on with some interactive performances.

AMBIENT PARADISE If you want to take a breather from the intensity, Ambient is the place to be. A decompression

chamber, the aesthetics interact with the musical experience. An amazing turquoise blue tent with UV-filters cools down the temperature inside, making it the most pleasant place to listen to the biggest representation of all genres of ambient music ever at Boom. Highlights include the cosmic-sounds of Murcof, Antonio Testa, Aliji, Ishq, Robert Rich, Lucid Picnic and many more. The gardens of the Ambient arte punctuated by incredible land art, featuring the works Vicente Bettencourt and Brohll Johl. Just be amazed!

BIOCONSTRUCTION

OUR ECOMMITMENT

As a part of our ecological statement, most of the materials we use are not sourced from industrialized processes

Bamboo and Canya At Boom we showcase some of the most avant-garde temporary bioconstruction architecture. In 2010 we are using bamboo and Canya as main features. We speak to Canya Viva’s Jonathan Cory-Wright, (Dow Tow) and Bamboo DNA’s Gerard Minakawa, (The Drop and Dance Temple) about structures they’ve implemented at Boom...

JONATHAN on Canya Why is canya such a sustainable material for bioconstruction?

Bioconstruction refers to energy used in fabricating the material, transporting it and the process for it to be constructed. It’s a local mateiral, so transport and energy consume is minimal. It can also be harvested and built by hand and all put together with rope made from sisal which is another plant grown in the Mediterranean.

Can canya be used to build permanent structures?

Covering the material with clay will give it permanence. Canya only degrades when burnt by the sun, so the clay will prevent this from happening and so it’s not affected, meaning it will last. In terms of the foundation, we dug holes in the ground and filled them with gravel so water seeps into the ground while protecting the canya.

Can we grow our own canya?

Yes! You can grow your own canya in grey water in hot climate conditions and see it grow fast within a year.

How do you think bamboo and canya would work together?

Because it has that flexibility, bamboo could be used to create the kind of structures designed for canya. It would be a highly creative fusion!

What can we make from canya?

Boats, jewellery, furniture, shot glasses, instruments... In fact the reed part of a woodwind comes from canya.

GERARD on Bamboo So what’s the deal with bamboo?

It’s absolutely sustainable as a plant that grows fast from a network of roots so you don’t need to re-seed

it. It’s attractive as a material because of the different ways you can use it – just from a design perspective.

It’s also strong as steel yet still light and is used across the world for construction, arts and crafts.

Can you foresee a bamboo revolution?

Yeah, in terms of general awareness, it is changing perspectives because it’s often considered a leader in the green revolution. I mean even in the last decade there really has been a bamboo revolution in terms of awareness.

On a personal level, what does it mean to you?

It’s a challenge. I think the way it works as a building material connects to the kind of ideals I have for how society can run in general. That you need to be strong about certain things, but you also need to be flexible about how you approach things depending on which way the wind blows. It teaches me something new every time I use it.

So what have you learnt from bamboo recently?

Well, for example, in this project, we’re turning splits into panels. I’ve never made panelling on this scale before. The way one split works is different to the way 120 would. I think it’s the same way with people – the way you relate to one person is very different to the way you would to 120. So that one person is not the same person individually right now as they would be if they were in a group.

How do you think bamboo and canya would work together?

The Canya team have been incorporating some bamboo into their structure. It would work well specially for creating arches. They’d need the rigid support of bamboo for support though and bamboo would work as a really good backbone to canya.

WATER

We want to clean all the water that is used at Boom. For that we designed a system that can be a solution for the future of human communities

STAR

A system for cleaning water at Boom

STAR Virtual project

r

ecycling 100% of water used by an excess of 26,000 people has been a major objective behind Boom 2010. The Water treatment unit we built at Boom with ferrocement and plants, called STAR, is designed specifically for the festival environment is the “Residual Water Biological Treatment System” that is being put into practice at Boom. Devoid of chemicals or additives, the eco-team behind the scenes have created a system that brings water back to life, even after it has been used across all of Boom’s restaurants and showers.

The whole system stems from the principle that nature is already functioning well and that all we need to do is give a hand in speeding up the process of removing excess nutrients by adding Oxygen.

Variables such as soaps, detergents, hair and skin-care products, fibres from clothing, grease and food residues affect the water we use in kitchens and showers. It takes time and energy for the micro-organisms that live in the water body to naturally digest these variables. They need Oxygen to help them digest and if there is not enough of it, they die, meaning the water will then smell bad.

08

dharma dragon

If we are to reduce our impact on the Sacred Earth, we must take responsibility for the way we take care of our water. This means conscious consumption and recycling it in a way that nourishes the ecosystem.

It’s something we are implementing at Boom.

STAGES OF WATER TREATMENT

The STAR sytem is made of several elements that function to re-establish the natural qualities of water: The user stage: This is when restaurant workers and festival public collaborate to use as little as possible and replace strong chemical components with organic, biodegradable products.

Water from restaurants passes through several grease traps. Grease slows down the absorption of oxygen, so it is the first thing that needs to be removed.

Waters from the showers travel to a holding pond where all solid sediments can settle at the bottom.

Water from the grease traps and holding ponds ends up at the main body of the STAR where a series of interconnected filters recirculate the water until it reaches the desired quality.

HOW IT WORKS

1 ¹ The first tank is a tall structure known

as a Perlocating filter. It contains a large volume of very porous material (expanded clay), creating a biological film of beneficial bacteria, which begins removing nutrients from the water while introducing oxygen.

The second tank is a solar oxygenation unit that receives air from a compressor while cleaning the surface of the water with floating, expanding clay.

By this stage the water is already in very good condition and the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) has been reduced by 90%.

2 ¹ BOD is the tool most utilized to indicate the quality of a biological water treatment system, showing how much Oxygen the micro-organisms are being used to break down the waste.

3 ¹ The Root Zone tank will move water through a bed of gravel and aquatic plants (macrophites) will contribute to the polishing of the treatment, removing the remaining nitrogen and any phosphorus that might be present.

4 ¹ The final stage involves a shallow solar pond that bathes all the water in sunlight, using the beneficial effects of UV light to bring the water back to its best state.

Don’t miss a visit to our STAR – check it out while you are here and see how it works to preserve water for permanent use. don’t forget though – this is NOT a swimming pool! If you want to swim, head for the lake!

OUR ECOMMITMENT

SANITATION IS THE MOST RELEVANT SUBJECT TO ADDRESS HERE IN TERMS OF THE WATER ISSUE. WE ARE IMPLEMENTING A NEW SYSTEM FOR COMPOST TOILETS, WITH EFFICIENT MICROBES AND WORMS.

WATER FACTS Ancient Romans had better water quality than half the people alive today One in eight people lack access to safe drinking water 97 % of earth’s water is in the oceans.

Only 3 % of the earth’s water can be used as drinking water There is the same amount of water on earth as there was when the earth was formed.

hit. Everybody does it yet few people want to talk about it. Flush and sewer systems have become so “normal” that we don’t even think about questioning them. What happens to the shit you flush down the toilet? It gets moved around in a sewage system, using up a third of the sacred earth’s water supply, draining out into rivers and seas and pumped for miles where it can’t be separated again...

1.2 litres of body waste is mixed per 100 litres of pure drinking water. With 6.5 million people, each excreting 300 grams of shit – that’s a lot of shit to shovel around. There are 450 cubic km of waste water carried into coastal areas by rivers and streams. This amount of polluted water requires 6000 cubic km of freshwater to dillute the problem.

Over 70,000 different water contaminants have been identified because of this and other pollutants such

HOW TO USE

as factory farming methods – causing diseases and atrocious sanitation problems. Water is our most basic human right. Yet there are 2.6 billion people in the world living with severe shortages.

Composting toilets are a solution to this problem because everything and anything that was once alive, will be decomposed to become healthy soil for the earth.

Back in 2006 we began using compost toilets (that don’t use water). After learning from all experiences (both good and bad) we are no trying a new model of compost toilets to address the water problem on sanitation. You can be part of changing the sanitation paradigm by experiencing the dry, compost toilet – and don’t forget to clean it after use!

There are 160 compost toilets created specially for Boom. No smell, clean, easy to use, aesthetic, easy to fit, requires little work, zero contact with any fresh or young shit and will decompose over a period of time under high temperatures to become soil for the Sacred Earth. There are even ingenious designs for urban compost toilets. Save your shit, let it decompose, make an offering to the earth, who will give you her love in return and save water.

Throw toilet paper in the hole.

Paper degrades really fast.

NO WATER! Adding water to a compost toilet slows down the process and will cause a bad smell.

The Beauty of a compost toilet is that when you make a deposit you create soil!

More people in the world own cell phones than have access to a toilet.

Flouride in water flourides were once used for ant and roach poisons and is associated with amnesia A third of the world’s population is enduring some form of water scarcity According to the UN, everyday, 2 million tons of sewage, industrial and agricultural waste is discharged into the worlde’s water (UN WWAP 2003) Because of the lack of good waste management, urban areas are considered one of the world’s most life threatening environments There are 12,000 km of waste water in the world – more than the total amount contained in the world’s 10 largest river basins

GARDENS WATER GODDESS

Envisioning Festivals of the Future 1

The Water Goddess is an important deity in many cultures. Sariswati is the Hindu Goddess of knowledge, music, arts and a personification of the Sarisvati River. Her name, “Saras” (flow) and “Wati”, (woman) symbolizes her flow of knowledge, like a river.

In Bali, the water goddess Dewi Danu dwells in the crater-lake near the Batur Volcano. Water flowing from the lake has irrigated the lands of Bali for centuries.

The clay-clad Boom Water Goddess by artist, Antonio Oliveiro, is a humble honour to the Water Goddesses of the world.

A spray of water personifying rain pours from her hands. Herbs, cucumber, watermelon and rice are planted nearby - a metaphor of human dependence on nature.

EDIBLE LABYRINTH

The BOOM Lab is an initiative launched by the Boom Environmental Program, the very first project taking a focus on the realms of Energy.

u

nconstrained by traditional disciplines, BOOM LAB engineers have taken a free-style approach to develop ideas for sustainable gatherings of the future.

Applying a research-related approach, they envisioned the impact of green technologies in the festival context, developing technologies that promise the sustainability of human gatherings. Energy became the prime focus for developing independent solutions based on renewable sources such as the sun and Hydrogen.

Conventional fuel sources have created many environmental problems, including global warming, destruction of habitats and the loss of natural resources.

2

Photovoltaic systems do not pose these environmental threats. The majority of PV systems use silicon as their components. The silicon cells manufactured from one ton of sand can produce as much electricity as burning 500,00 tons of coal.

BOOM LAB engineers developed five solar stations.

We built three small stations from six solar panels of 80 watts each. They can be used for standard lighting, computers and small devices in areas such as the main gates and the production offices at Ambient Paradise and Sacred Fire. We are generating 2.4 Kilowatts per day.

The 4th solar station being produced at BOOM LAB can output 3.2 kilowatts per day from solar energy alone. The BOOM LAB has also developed a bigger station that is being used near the logistics management, production office and workshops. Two mobile trackers fitted with 12 panels each follow the tilt of the sun, producing 13 kilowatts per day.

HYDROGEN: ENVISIONING THE FUTURE

BOOM LAB also developed the use of hydrogen for waste vegetable oil generators. Typical gasoline powered cars only use about 20% of the fuel to power a car. With hydrogen fuel cell cars, around 40-60% of the fuel is used to power the electric motor.

With their ageless forms and swirling pathways, labyrinths invite playful interaction and soulful contemplation. The lure of the labyrinth has ensnared humankind for thousands of years. The earliest examples were found carved on rocks and painted or scratched on pottery, dated to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The Boom labyrinth is a 7-circuit classical labyrinth design.

The philosophy of labyrinths is that there is no choice along the way. The only decision is whether you enter and trust the path will lead you to your goal. The labyrinth is filled with edible plants: basil, mint, sage, calendula, chives, oregano, marigolds and chervil.

ZEN STYLE GARDEN

Zen style gardens reflect harmony, peace, tranquillity and the ease of meditation. There is a gentle, soothing ambience imminent in an eastern garden design, yet it is all carefully controlled. That control is evident in every part of the garden where randomness and confusion are not allowed.

With this in mind, the garden uses minimum materials to create a beautiful effect amidst the natural beauty of the area. Rodrigo de Silva will once again decorate the area.

Boom gardens are located near the Groovy Beach

THE POWER OF

HYDROGEN

Working towards a carbon-zero festival, the Boom Lab has been busy with the development of hydrogen technology to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Hydrogen is a revolutionary solution to a zero-carbon future. Here are some facts on Hydrogen and details on how the technology is being utilized at Boom.

Waste vegetable oil was a key feature during Boom 2008. This year, the Hydrogen unit developed by the Boom LAB will allow greater efficiency of the vegetable oil powered generators.

4

Boom LAB’s Hydrogen Project has been responsible for a hydraulic system that works like an engine tuning device, neutralizing the burning process of oil, increasing output capacities by 15 percent.

Hydrogen is the lightest of elements and stores 2.6 times the energy per unit mass as gasoline.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not produced when hydrogen is burned.

6

The combustion not only functions faster, but also pollutes significantly less. Hydrogen is a very clean fuel that produces minimal emissions when combusted directly or in combination with hydrocarbon fuels.

BOOM LAB is our new commitment to sustainable gatherings. By respecting the Sacred Earth we are developing technologies that nurture independence and invent new possibilities for festivals and their communities.

boomfestival.org/boom2010/2010/04/ boom-lab-thinking-up-the-gatherings-of-the-future

Hydrogen can be used as a clean-burning, non-polluting fuel in every application, with potential to replace other fuels.

Hydrogen can be sourced from a number of entities, including: water, sewage, garbage, agricultural biomass and waste streams containing hydrogen-bearing compounds.

DON’T POLUTE THE LAKE Avoid pissing in the lake, washing your laundry in it or leaving any trace of rubbish in or around it. Water is sacred, respect our most precious resource by keeping it clean. May all beings be happy.

There is a reserve of one trillion barrels of petroleum in the Earth’s crust. This is about 30 years of supply, creating the urgency for developing a sustainable Solar Hydrogen economy.

AT THE DANCE TEMPLE

The Portal is Open

ANDROID JONES S MEETS S SYSTEM 7

The Dance Temple has been conceived following months of collaboration between artists, the Boom team, experts in geometry, riggers and designers. Taking into perspective the Boom tradition for igniting the most activated dance floor in psytrance – we wanted to return the passion to modern psychedelia, the love for good music, taste for technology and the will to break through. Be here to experience the magic of psytrance.

ANDROID JONES & PHA-DROID New Age Of Psychedelia

Android has been developing a vision for the whole Dance Temple for the last months.

It involves VJs such as Peter Parker, Jonathan Singer or Orion, a DJ booth designed with Harlan Emil Gruber, with additional LED that react with the music. Plus some neo-psychedelic holograms together with large scale lycra paintings create the visual environment of the Dance Temple. “It’s merging together every archetypal form of creativity”, he says. The zenith of the whole vision is the interactive show as Pha-Droid, merging visuals, performing art and at Boom the special happening with the music of System 7.

Striking visuals by Android Jones use an organic connector, stimulating live 4th density dance, performed by partner, Pha-droid to a live set by System 7. “I transfer my consciousness into the light by following her movements using a Real Time Particle Generator. Her pure focus is to simply disappear into the Dance”, says Android.

Looking at this stage, he is sincere and enthusiast: “I’ve never done this with such a big audience before: 20,000 people! It’s going to be a highly charged and energetically powerful evening!”

Pha-Droid and System 7 perform together at the Dance Temple, 25th August, 11pm.

In the beginning of the 90s you were involved with goa trance scene. What was the most exciting thing about it back in those days?

The Goa Trance

RETROSPECTIVE For anyone who took a serious interest in electronic music in the ’90s, the name goa trance evokes memories of playful, groundbreaking music underpinned by a mystic discourse and a determination to expose a way of life unseen in decades.

We interviewed Gust Till, part of the Flying Rhino crew, an Aussie that came from the punk scene, worked both with pop or world music artists and in the 90s he gave a huge contribution to enhance the trance aesthetic.

That it was all reasonably new and nobody new exactly what shape the music would be heading in. You could still get totally unpredictable new and creative tracks coming from all quarters and there was a fantastic air of surprise and expectancy with the music being made.

That quality, I’m afraid to say, has been totally lost, but so it goes in all scenes ultimately.

You were quite involved with the Flying Rhino label.

Your sound was one of the zeniths of this genre.

What motivated all of you?

We were trying to be creative and give voice to how we thought dance music should be. There was yet to be an established set of criteria that said ‘this is how you must sound… the last kick drum beat must be missing from the end of every 16 bar block and related with a little backwards noise… you must use a Nordlead… I could go on…

We simply didn’t want to do that so we developed our own scene.

BOOM DROP FACE by Android Jones

You’ll come to Boom to play a retrospective psy-trance DJ set. Which records and/or projects do you consider the most innovative of the trance history so far?

An easy one… Kox Box, X-Dream, Man With No Name, TIP, Atmos, Juno Reactor, Johann, Simon Posford, Metal Spark.

Mate, a final question, what can Boom participants expect from your set at Boom 2010?

A shedload of old Rhino stuff, a healthy dosage of TIP, a dollop of Blue Room, a few arabesques from Dragonfly… I’ll see what I can dig out of the vault!

Boom goa trance retrospective will have the sets from Gus Till, Man With No Name, Joti Siddhu, Green Nuns Of The Revolution, Psychopod, Jorg, Johann Bley, Anders Tillman, and the neo-goa from Filteria and Random Mode.

SYSTEM 7

“Let’s All Help to Bring Wisdom to This World…”

the Android Jones style. What is truly special about Android and Phadroid is the human interactive dance element, so it will be great for them to sync up to our big dancefloor grooves. It can be truly mindblowing!

What can Boomers expect to hear from the set you will be performing?

How do you think the music will gel with the performance itself?

System 7 music is very visual and we work a lot with VJs including Antonio Pagano in the UK and the Mood Magic team in Japan who made a great video for our track Hinotori that we feel is not a million miles away from

People who know our music well understand our somewhat unique System 7 cocktail of trance, techno and progressive grooves and our deep psychedelic feeling. We’re quite good at making the transition between progressive and more full-on beats, and so in this case we will be starting quite fast and strong and then subtly easing the tempo down to finish in a deep progressive way.

We might add an extra more meditative element towards the end so people on the dancefloor can reflect on the whole Boom

experience and what it means to them.

There will be some strong emotions there.

Finally, what would be your message to the Boomers?

Let’s all come away fully cleansed and energised from the wonderful event, with our minds open and strong. Let’s all help to bring wisdom to this world in 2012 and beyond!

System 7 are performing the final show of the Dance Temple on the night of August 25th.

OOOD Do you think making people aware of the situation

LIVE SOUNDTRACKS

will help make a positive change. What else can we do to stop ‘Dougal the Machine’ from hurting our planet?

Anita Shukla Vs OOOD

Live sound and animated visuals unite for the first time in the history of psytrance. Producing trance since 94’, OOOD bring it on at the Dance Temple, opening the evening with a blinding live psychedelic set, featuring a specially-produced show for the activism-based visuals of indie film producer, Anita Shukla. We bring them together in a back2back mini-interview...

the animation?

between different styles and ways of working that the really interesting things happen. You end up with something that’s often better than either party would have come up with on their own. It’s potentially a very good combination.

RYO (OOOD) The first time we saw the film I saw a few

OOOD What inspired the rabbit in the movie?

ANITA As we come from different artistic backgrounds, did you get the feeling it would be challenging to work with an animator like me?

ANITA There’s an old Japanese folk-tale where a cute rabbit violently beats up a raccoon, so that came to mind. It’s not an animal which is usually seen as being very evil - but the WTO aren’t seen as being evil by much of the public either. So I thought it was funny for the rabbit to symbolise this negative force and I felt it was a good idea to laugh at the illogical nature of the WTO and GM seed companies that exploit farmers hence I added the rabbit for comedy value.

ANITA What were your first impressions after seeing

possible combinations - which, I thought might work.

What we came up with just slotted in. It was almost scary how our music and your movie synchronised.

COLIN (OOOD) Collaborations often seem to bring

out the best in each contributor; it’s at the boundary

Boom and Funktion1 fuel a partnership to create a special sound experience. Besides the Dance Temple and Groovy Beach, Funktion1 presents two more systems for the first time. At the Liminal Zone, Tony Andrews, the inventor of F1 technology give a lecture with customized speakers.

We are also honoured to stage for the first time in the world, a system from Funktion1 that is an upgrade from the concept of Surround 5.1. Showcased at Healing Area’s Sound Temple, it diverges from the notion of surround sound as it adapts microphone technology to multi-source music. Multi-channel audio is used to generate 3D sound quality from speakers positioned within the sound field and using phasing in a 6-point sound field.

ANITA We can start by growing our own food, purchase more organic foods to help farmers and keep farms sustainable, make sure we know where the products we buy come from - this is what people are oblivious to. We need to be aware of how the free trade rule within the WTO is ruining eco systems and exploiting developing countries.

The legend of Boom’s emblematic dragon, by artist Broll Jholl comes to life at the Ambient Paradise - breathing atmospheric vibrations that resonate between the sound, hexagonal fountain and a magical garden of untold secrets for you to discover. This is the Ambient Paradise. A utopia for pirates of all walks of life…

ROBERT RICH Musical mastermind, Robert Rich built his first synthesiser at the age of 13. His scientific approach has seen him explore rhythmic patterns, including sound experiments that influence REM. First performed in San Francisco in 1982, his infamous sleep-concert series became legendary.

Since then, the artist has released a string of critically acclaimed albums that have seen him fuse a medley of home-made instruments with computer-based signal processing.

Ambient, dark ambient and that infamous “drone” sound inspire a peaceful, meditative state. Simply genius.

JACQUES DUDON

Intonation composer and instrument builder, Jacques Dudon is the man behind production of sound that is modulated from light. This ingenious generation of sound is developed using a light source that shines through painted glass discs. Patterns of light are picked up by solar cells and converted into a voltage that becomes a sound signal.

One of the most exciting names to grace the Ambient Paradise, Italian musician, ercussionist and producer Antonio Testa’s visionary sounds are a journey to the soul. His first release “Senza Tempo” dates from 1985 and since then he have built instruments, inspiring generations and exploring the ethnic music traditions into modern music.

MURCOF

NICK MANASSEH

British dubster, Nick Manasseh’s rumbling bass lines androotsy vocal chants continue to inspire audiences and artists alike. A lover of that original Jamaican sound, Nick spent most of the 80s re-inventing 70s roots dub – making a profound contribution to the revival of roots and reggae.

The re-release of Sound Iration in Dub takes us back to 1988.

Anyone who missed that time will now have the privilege of getting a taste of dub-licious history – defining that old-time aroma of bass-heavy spiritual sounds, not to mention the birth of the UK Steppers. Class act!

He is one of the most extraordinaire electronic producers in the last decade.

This Mexican started a whole movement of classically-influenced electronic music when he dropped his incredible debut album ‘Martes’ in 2002.

With perfectly manipulated glitchy beats and the kind of strings you’d expect to hear on a movie, Fernando Corona introduced many electronic fans to the sounds of orchestral bliss and a subgenre was born. His ability to layer strings into epic soundscapes makes his music breathtaking.

A must see at Boom 2010.

“There is a Divine fire in the Earth and in the plants.

The Waters carry the fire and the same fire dwells in the rocks.

There is a fire within human beings, within the cows and the horses are sacred fires. The Divine fire shines from heaven as the Sun . The Divine fire extends the wide atmosphere through the wind . Mortals enkindle the Fire that carries their prayers, which loves clarity.” [viii] Atharva Veda

Welcome to Sacred Fire 2010!

For the third time in a row, Sacred Fire crew has the honour to serve Boom audiences with their kick-ass acoustic stage, lush gardens of edible and ornamental plants and their cosy, earthy feeling space of delicious food stalls, comfy hangouts and lovingly woven installations of land art and detailed landscaping, plus a few novelties that will push the threshold of Sacred Fire much further than before.

THE GARDENS AND THE ZEN WALKWAY

Spreading along more than 300 meters of gravel walkways, the Sacred Fire gardens have grown larger and more beautiful than ever. Carefully set in one of the small forests that make up the new Boom site, providing ample shade and freshness for you to sit, chill and enjoy the work in progress of our landscaping crew and our land art installations, this is the oasis that Sacred Fire fans have grown used to.

THE TEMPLE OF MUSIC: The Zome Stage

Our daily program kicks off with a sunset prayer where representatives of different spiritual traditions go on stage to honour the core element of this year’s edition of Boom Festival, the Water. Followed by an average of 4 bands every evening, and a sideshow of top Portuguese world music DJ’s to bridge the gaps between bands and provide a musical backdrop to the wandering circus performances that tour the different festival venues, we’re sure to make your visit worthwhile and provide you with a diversity of musical projects that has been the trademark of this stage since the beginning. Make sure you don’t miss out on our non-stop all-acoustic trance night that we’re putting on full moon, August 24th.

THE TEMPLES OF THE SACRED FEMININE, SACRED MASCULINE AND THE TEMPLE OF LOVE

This year our gardens will feature 3 beautiful temples where you can tap into your innermost essence in the carefully prepared safe spaces of the Temples of either The Sacred Feminine or The Sacred Masculine before you enter the Temple of Love. Daily workshops, cutting edge coaching sessions or the simple possibility to hang out in a sheltered environment of sharing provide a space for healing and integration of the powerful energies of intimacy and affection. These are places to grow emotionally and talk gender and love.

Another novelty in Sacred Fire this year, the The Temple of Rhythmic Consciousness gathers a quality lineup of workshops dedicated to dance, drumming and voicing, where some of the musicians that perform on our stage share their skills and gather for two jam sessions daily under the Drumming Tree.

TEMPLE SPA OF THE ELVES A green welfare

After 2008’s successful introduction of the beachfront spa, this year Sacred Fire’s dedicated team of healers, therapists and masseurs move into the woods to join forces with the elemental energies of Nature, lovingly caring for the boomers in need of relaxation, healing and well-being in a comfortable and safe setting that meets the highest standard of alternative welfare.

THE STONE CIRCLE AND THE CRAFTS PLAZA

These are the places to enjoy our selection of gourmet food stalls and original handicraft shops while you visit our gardens and to make a contribution to some of our team’s personal projects.

The moon-spirit resonates with heightened emotion as we approach the latter end of the Boom. This is the full moon. This is 24th August. Highlight Tribe, Ganga Giri, Olive Tree Dance, Wild Marmalade, Airtist and Tribal Dance step up for a 10-hour acoustic jam at Boom to trigger that reminder. Come and celebrate this show, taking place for the first time in the history of modern trance.

HILIGHT TRIBE “There will be high vibes on the dancefloor, the temperature should be ecstatic and the spirit of this music shall unite us once again (Insh-Allah!).

We are in the midst of an auspicious time and magic place: just like the lotus, born from the mud and blooming into colourful flowers....”

TRIBAL DANCE You are going to go 3000 years back into time when we celebrated as a tribe. Let’s wake up the ancient tribe and celebrate life!

WILD MARMALADE Expect something really special. Make a night of it. Ride the wave with us. Expect happiness, dancing , colour, dynamic, collaborations, smiles, a full moon and dirt under your feet.

OLIVE TREE DANCE I believe together we’ll create a tremendous energy in a field where we all will fly higher.

I expect. It will be a fantastic celebration.

It Will be a massive atmosphere!

SACRED FIRE – A Community in Action

Sacred Fire is built in the spirit of a temporary, free-will community, meaning that we build the area from the premise that any member of our crew should feel free to create whatever, whenever he wants.

Even though sometimes this proposal is challenging to master and even more difficult to fit into the conventional boxes of budgeting, scheduling and planning, we believe that these are the parameters that most deeply reflect the highest path of Creativity, Empowerment and Love. Please respect our space and be aware than more than a festival area, this is an extension of our personal process that we offer in Service and Love. Tread lightly and feel free to make our area more beautiful than you have found it, within this spirit of affection and respect. Please do not disturb any of the ongoing workshops.

If you want to meet our crew or need any additional information about our lineup and our ongoing activities, please come and visit us at our renowned headquarters, The Banana Palace.

BEING IN THE BODY BRINGS ALIVENESS

MANDALA

Design of structures within the Healing Area has been inspired by the Sacred Mandala. It is the Divine Flower of this sacred space and forms the nexus of this zone at Boom. Every component of the Healing Area is invigorated by the power of the mandala and it dynamics inspire a connection to the source and the light of all creation – guiding us to be at one with ourselves and all that is.

It is advisable to experience the sweat lodge on an empty stomach.

SOUND TEMPLE

The way to experience the Sound Journey is to deeply let go, deeply surrender, and deeply allow the sound to pass into you, through you, around you, with no resistance or interpretation.

YURT & OUTDOOR

With free homeopathic and sound modelling consultations, the Yurt becomes a personal space for connecting with ourselves on other levels. Aura, chakra, energy and meridian readings tap into our more subtle dimensions while initiating an exploration of something deeper...

Prem Geeta

touch, movement and a technique that I have called Stretch-In.

WHY STRETCH-IN? Because we actually “stretch into ourselves”. It generates clarity and awareness, integrating body, mind and spirit.

WHAT CAN ONE EXPECT TO ACHIEVE FROM EMBODIMENT? Because we spend more time in our minds, embodiment becomes a soothing remedy for the nervous system, allowing us to live life completely. Being in the body brings aliveness!

With the variety of artists from the scope of imagination and fantasy, in each edition we continue to evolve with the mission of unlocking the vast potential of ourselves as creators. These are some of the artists of Boom 2010.

TAZ AT BOOM: THE AXIS MUNDI PROJECT

Dissolving borders between public and artists, the Amsterdam Balloon Company bring the Axis Mundi Project to Boom to raise its 4th totem pole.

According to founder, Aja, an Axis Mundi “symbolizes the centre of the world. Through history it was projected on a sacred mountain, as a column of smoke, a tree, a totem pole or imaginary line to the polar star around which the earth was believed to spin.”

“The Boom Axis Mundi marks the festival ground as a world centre of consciousness, of positive power and peace, establishing creative and

spiritual bonds and making a statement about the global importance of alternative, experimental societies and festivals,” says Aja. ABC has planted 3 Axis Mundi at the infamous TAZ locations of Ruigoord (Holland), Christiana (Denmark) and Doel (Belgium) and aim to build a transnational network of cultural travel to alternative spaces and festivals.
