Comment: it may
be the easiest way to describe this album through the examples of
other artists' music, through such examples as Ashtray Navigations,
Uton, Kemialliset Ystävät, Six Organs Of Admittance, Charalambides,
Tont, Sam Shalabi, Natural Snow Buildings, Children Of The Drone,
Vibracathedral Orchestra. More profoundly, the common thread of the
aforementioned artists is droning. Droning through different aspects
and accents, through ethnic and folk music of Asia (from Middle East
to Hindustani peninsula), through modern day folk, through
post-industrial and psychedelic angles and patches. Another common
thread is improvisation. To put together drone and improvised music
it can be summoned as experimental. One can see droning as the hard
core of this 15-notch issue yet improvisation can be considered as
the intention and thought of the whole. One can hear volatile clouds
as experiments with concrete sounds and open spaces, voices and
vowels which used to rotate inseparably around the hard core. The
marvellous outing (the Brazilian Marco Antonio with his guest musicians) is a part of the discography of Sunyatha.
