Featuring the intricately designed music box replicas of French architect, artisan and designer Philip LeMarchand.
Posthumously credited as possibly one of the most prolific, if undiscovered, mass murderers in the history of the modern world, Philip LeMarchand first became known for his creation of bizarre, intricately designed music boxes which quickly became the rage of Europe.

"Those who follow the left-hand path, often called the black magicians or Brothers of the Shadow, are workers of spiritual and intellectual and psychical evil, and are therefore Vamacharins."
- Bolinger's Encyclopedia of the Occult - Pinol Press, 1946
The circular dial, described in LeMarchand's notes as "The Schetrum of the Vamacharins" is now a movable/wind up feature in Pyramid-Gallery's musical replica of The Lament Configuration.

"Raphael, Oder Artzt-Engel"
Abraham von Franckenberg
Perhaps Franckenberg's most famous work - and certainly his most unusual - is Raphael, Oder Arzt-Engel, first published posthumously in Amsterdam 1676.
The Hebrew name 'Raphael' means 'God has healed'. The archangel Raphael has traditionally been linked with healing and restoration, and it is clear that Franckenberg, in subtitling his manuscript Arzt-Engel ('doctor-angel', a play on Erzengel, 'archangel'), is aware of this fact and wishes to make it clear to his readers. The work, ostensibly a medical tract, draws on both the alchemy of Paracelsus and Böhmian mysticism. There is also evidence pointing to Franckenberg's interest in the Kabbalah and of links with Rosicrucianism and the ideas of Joachim of Fiore.

Puzzles come in many different incarnations. The passageway to Hell can be sought purposely or accidentally...
No matter what form or shape the puzzle manifests itself, one truth is certain. The puzzles are a myriad of logical sequences leading to the same configuration: Leviathan.

Springtime is for Harrowers!
"It was not Leviathan that first unlocked the door to this world. Rather it was life, nature, chaos that exploded through it, spilling into his perfect order. Eons ago, when this world was teeming, swirling, sweating life, blue and green, from every pore, it continued to swell, like mother with child. Finally, rupturing through the walls it did not even know existed, it burst into Hell, giving birth to light, and introducing life in that cold dark place."
~ Clive Barker's Book of the Damned - Volume I: "Compositions"

"The people who bind themselves to systems are those who are unable to encompass the whole truth and try to catch it by the tail; a system is like the tail of truth, but truth is like a lizard; it leaves its tail in your fingers and runs away knowing full well that it will grow a new one in a twinkling."
~ Ivan Turgenev to Leo Tolstoy (1856)

The Lament Configuration music box from Pyramid-Gallery
"LeMarchand's first and arguably most classic, puzzle construct. Its complexity was managed by expanding on the design of a similar box designed and constructed by Albertus Magnus in the thirteenth century. When operated properly, a pleasing melody issues from within which belies its true nature."

Albertus Magnus' Box of Gateways
In 1749, Philip LeMarchand obtained Albertus Magnus' "Box of Gateways" from Monsieur de Moret: "...Msr. de Moret excused himself from the room momentarily, and returned holding a box which I recognized immediately. Monsieur de Moret noted my expression and grinned knowingly. It is the box which Albertus Magnus created. I purchased both the pages and the box at considerable cost, requiring that I offer my architectural services when I am returned to New York." - The Journal of Philip LeMarchand, August 5th, 1749 Box research by Steelgohst Art Video by Derek Prospero Purchase a non-musical, museum style display piece at: Pyramid-Gallery.com/DaemonesDucit.html

"Dipping into the Gallery entries and seeing that the work I'd started in 'The Book of the Damned' not only represented but expanded on in great, enriching detail really makes this website sing as a dark reflection of the works of Clive Barker. It feels genuinely like the kind of mysterious store you'd hope to find by accidentally turning down some dark side street you'd never be able to find again; a store that once entered you almost wish you hadn't because despite the amazing assortment of oddities on display, there is something wrong--corrupt about the store and you wonder how you'll leave without giving away to the proprietor the fact that you shouldn't be there in the first place. This is by far the coolest reaction to anything I've ever written, and I am truly honored. If you're a fan of Clive Barker's you owe it to yourself to visit Pyramid-Gallery.com If you make a purchase, and you'll want to, tell them I sent you." - Comic book and graphic novel author John Rozum

I just stumbled upon an old online portfolio of mine from my College years, and I had NO idea just how much influence Hellraiser had on my artwork back then. Sheesh.
It's not the greatest looking and the design didn't go as planned for the original decorations but this is my friend puzzle box cake that I made for his birthday which had a semi liquid Center when cutting to the cake poured out like guts
I have sent you emails, without a response, checking on the progress of my order. I would really appreciate a reply. Thank you.
Super EXCITED to share I finally got my box open and........stop.............wait..........please.....................................................................................................................................................................What's Your Pleasure?

Nathan chose to ignore the polite notice from the Pyramid Gallery administrator and decided to eat consumables in the portrait section.
I'm interested in the scribe box. Is this box musical?
Why when you look at Rose Park, Missoula on Google Maps it looks like the area has been rotated 45 degrees clockwise from the rest of the town?
