Comment: as I
assumed yesterday no one – neither Trump nor the Left – can save
this world. In fact, it is truly childish to set up barricades
against each other by the both sides. Something rational and viable
can be found from views of the both sides. However, all the saving
decisions must be done by us by ordinary people. Only we can bring to
pass a silent and green revolution by minimizing our consumption and
harmful habits. We shall have to get rid of our corrupted minds and
beforehand of noises and wastes all of which is related to excessive
consumption of materials and superficial informative content. We
shall have to take responsibility for Universe, for us and all the
living and yet unborn generations regarding humans and non-humans.
Before to do it, before one could be able to comprehend the idea one
should clear his/her mind. I guess we need some purgative practises
to get out from this god-damned enclosed circle. Profound music
examples may help us to deal with it. Most of music one can find from
the charts is just a noise – it is not a thing on its own, it is
just a product to fasten the aforementioned damned circle. Beyond
that one's soul will be empty. Nick R 61's music is being free from
this sin. It stimulates thinking of different aspects and spawns
suggestive roundabouts in one's mind. Into the mind, isn't? He has
been running an imprint called Fusion Netlabel and most of the
catalogue is filled in with his own music. Regarding this it can be
admitted his path has been long and the recent one is another step to
accomplish his audible travel. Otherwise it is a perception of
Hindustan and Nepal (the titles of the album are
Kathmandau,
Chomolungma, and
Lhasa), a source of renewing spiritual
practises for Westerners since the 60s (The Beatles, George Harrison,
Angus MacLise). Nick R 61 employs samples from music/instruments of
the abovementioned area and natural sounds to merge them with thick
drumming of experimental hip-hop and trip-hop and less or more somber
echoes and glowering drones. In a word, the short-running issue is
highly poignant and mind-provoking.
