Comment: it is asserted at their home site Ethernet Orchestra is an Internet-based musical ensemble that explores intercultural improvisation through networked musical performances on the web. These 132 minutes are executed by such artists as guitarist Chris Vine, trumpeter Roger Mills, Hervé Perez (saxophones, laptop, shakuhachi), piano player Holger Deuter, Moorin Khuur player and throat singer Bukhchuluun Ganburged, and in one track by deceased Richard Lainhart (1953-2011) who was being renowned due to experimentation on modular synthesisers and implementation on extended performance techniques. Additionally to the aforementioned names there are involved more musicians, in fact (look at the credits of each composition). More profoundly, this set of 16 tracks being formally embedded on 2 discs is a realization of a telematic real-time collaboration in different locations across the Globe. It is based on sessions during a span between 2014-2019. Musically it is an irresistible take on different modalities of jazz, a variety of (trance/space/progressive) rock-related things and improvised music in general. It is like a meditative exercise, effortless steps forward to find out peace from within oneself and then invoke benevolent ghosts to come out and provide the human kind with external enlightenment. In symbolist meaning, this enormous act in terms of time and technical fulfillment allows one to move down the bank of imaginary river which will ultimately end at the confluence with Styx, the river for dead ones (I guess it could be located somewhere in Southeastern Asia). In other words, it is a purgative trip toward the Meaning, toward the Threshold. The riveting outing is a part of the discography of Pueblo Nuevo, a Chilean imprint.
