Avid exploration teamed with vivid contextual compositions
“KEPAYNO∑ was one of the most powerful symbols in ancient Greece—if not the most powerful. As contemporary science proved, the thunders that dominated the earth before the creation of life, gave birth to the primordial substances by enhancing the production of nitrogen and thus amino acids which are essential for the production of proteins and life. In numerous civilizations they believed that the overlord of thunder was a deity.“
This release explores the global mythologies with environmental sounds and field recordings from the five continents: Oceania – Tarkine Rainforest, Asia – Okinawa, Europe – Ancient Olympia and Iceland, Africa – Uganda, Botswana and Namibia, America – Amazon Rainforest and Niagara Falls.
It is a totally original and very intriguing release that also coincides with Raster’s 25th anniversary (October 2021). The tracks themselves really about the sum of their parts and in total, amount to an exquisite virtual journey around the continents that in turn provides for a spectacular sense of place as well as a relaxing platform upon which to explore one’s own thoughts.
The synthesized atmospherics that augment the field sounds succeed in widening the horizons enhancing the minds expansive imagery that such sounds have the power to create. Everything is contained within. There are calms before and after the storms, and not only that, it’s an immensely relaxing composition that will appeal to many in a variety of settings. Waterfalls, storms, nature sounds native to the environment, and soundscapes that are both light and majestic as well as dark and sometimes imposing. They can be lonely and desolate or teaming with life and vitality; gentle, yet bold. In all instances, each track is a unique representation of deep levels of the otherworldly, avid exploration teamed with vivid contextual compositions that emanate an individual beauty.
ΚΕΡΑΥΝΟΣ is available Raster. [Bandcamp | Release page]
