Five Thousand Spirits is a collaboration project from Italy,

founded by Stefano Musso (Alio Die), Raffaele Serra (Talharion) and Claudio Dondo (Runes Order, Atom Infant Incubator).
Their first album, "A Tapestry For Sorcerers" was released in 1995 by Sempiterna Mutatio,

mainly consisted of low drones and evocative mystical synth layers, reminiscent of the Runes Orders style.
After this album Claudio Dondo quit the group, and Five Thousand Spirits became the duo of Musso and Serra.
A second album was released in 1999 entitled "Mesmeric Revelation", with a more minimal and meditative sound.
The duo returned in 2006 with two albums, "Schwarzschild Radius" and "Quantum Consciousness" 

both characterized by an electronic vitality and a style reminiscent of the 1970s cosmic music.
From 2007 to 2014 three more albums were also released by the project.

Altered States is a 1980 American science-fiction horror film directed by Ken Russell

based on the novel of the same name by playwright and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky.
The film was adapted from Chayefsky's only novel, published in 1978, and is his final screenplay.
The film follows the experiments of a psycho-physiologist with drugs in a sensory-deprivation tank

and his visions that he believes are genetic memories.
Both the novel and the film are based in part on John C. Lilly's research conducted in isolation tanks 

under the influence of psychoactive drugs like mescaline, ketamine, and LSD.
Altered States marked the film debut of William Hurt and Drew Barrymore.
Chayefsky withdrew from the project after disputes with Russell and took his name off the credits, 

substituting "Sidney Aaron," his actual first and middle names.
The film score was composed by John Corigliano (with Christopher Keene conducting)

and was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Sound Mixing.
John Paul Corigliano (born February 16, 1938) is an American composer of classical music.
His scores, numbering over one hundred, have won him the Pulitzer Prize, five Grammy Awards, 

Grawemeyer Award For Music Composition, and an Oscar for his score for the film The Red Violin (1998).
He is a distinguished professor of music at Lehman College and the Graduate Center of the City University Of New York

and on the composition faculty at the Juilliard School.
