Concept:
In 2004 I recieved a gift from a man in my neighborhood. It was a tape with traditional Afghani music. A recording of live music played with a minimal set of instruments. The music seemed to tell a story from a distant time, and places very different from my usual surroundings. Music with a mysticism I never heard before. After some time the decision was made to sample parts of this wonderous music and use for basis in a new project. Bringing together the magic of modern music technology and nature. To represent the here and now I choose to mainly work with sounds from three of my favorite analog machines; roland tr-808, korg mono/poly and roland tb-303. Eventually all sounds were processed and re-arranged digitally, patterns was programmed and integrated. The music grew into four parts, wich of three were chosen for vinyl release.
To complement the EP, Arctic Hospital was given the same afghani samples to come up with his very unique interpretation.
Record is out now from Boomkat.
Enjoy!

the ultimate minimal is silence_
a haa... and i was wondering, what is that super acid track in your PA @ Krill, Tallin
(around 42 mins)... "Part 4" rulez. "Part 3" is also telling me something good with that
dark scent over it. B side also nice with an upbeat (AH Rmx) & a moody (Part 2) tracks.
However i only sensed the 'Afghani spirit' on the bonus track, but maybe that's just because
the 1 min. snippets are too little for a complete impression. The bonus track strongly reminds
me the works of one of my fave producers, Muslimgauze, whose music was mainly inspired by
the Palestinian struggle, marrying electronica with middle-eastern mysticism...

the vinyl version is much more stripped down and minimal than live, tho.
true. the afghani influence is mostly present in part 1.nowayback wrote: However i only sensed the 'Afghani spirit' on the bonus track

I agree. though, I guess sometimes the concept is just to make nice music.tzusing wrote:more people should let us the consumer know abut the concept for their work.
