2559 Exactly what i want to hear at the moment :) what a wonderful world.. Favorite track: Vrindavan.

drone2805 Rishikesh is a rich work that embeds the atmosphere of a ritual incense. The snippets of ethnic language, the tinkling of ceremonial objects, and the sounds of natures connect to the sacred territories through a deep tremor and sharp or guttural accents that serve as a sort of frame for the images of our mind. And what about this magnificent song by which ends the second track! AN ALBUM ON THE TOP OF MY LIST, a fabulous landscape in itself. Favorite track: Vrindavan.

about

Rishikesh (30 ° 06.00. N 78 ° 18.00. E )
“In this work, I present two acoustic environments. These sounds are born in India. Rishikesh is located in the foothills of the Himalayas of which it is a gateway to. Within this piece are sounds that were recorded near the flowing mountain streams of the Ganges; they have been captured at night time, where small streams of water eventually grind coastal rocks. There is also the echo of prayer wheels, and the noise of the slow Ganges and streams flowing from the mountains… and many more other sounds that were hanging around me.”

Vrindavan (27 ° 34.50. N 77 ° 42.02. E)
“This is the place I always wanted to visit. This is a city with an ancient history. It tells that Vrindavan is located in several spaces that are not detectable through simple vision. The city is the place where the God Krishna was once born. Almost all the recordings were again made at night along a small interval from 11:00 pm to 3:00 in the morning, when the city sleeps. I was there in Kartika time, and many people from all over India come in Vrindavan. At this moment, the city becomes filled with the sounds of religious mantras, people’s screams, songs, cars horns, noises of rickshaws and bicycles as well … And also during the day one can add sounds of birds, monkeys, dogs and cows. … Anyway, I wanted to reflect the sound of the advancing night … as such this is not a pure documentary work, but humble sound art trying to portray an intangible atmosphere…”

One of the most immersive albums I've ever heard. Whether it was the care taken while recording, the production, or both, every sound on here sounds fantastic. The subtle drones provide the perfect amount of movement so nothing feels too stagnant. Sublime. jckmd

Breathtaking work. A category of its own, where words like "beautiful" or "ugly" (and all similar words) are meaningless. This just ís. Sound. Breathtaking. Overwhelming. iptamenos3
