Āmurs by Mammoth Ulthana
Jacek Doroszenko and Rafał Kołacki bring out the third emergence of Mammoth Ulthana - Āmurs.
Their beautiful concept of merging the acoustic sounds of the instruments such as gongs, rattles, percussives, pipes, singing bowls with electronic layered timbre is mastered in connection to the individual, intuitive aspect of composition.
There is a definitive aspect of sound design and electroacustic experimental frame of the music they create but to me the most important aspect of it is the mystical, ethereal, subtle tissue of their material that goes way beyond just pure composition.
It's a tool and a soundtrack to some pretty damn inward voyage somewhere in the wilderness, on the verge of what you could call paranormal but to me it's purely intimate spiritual pursuit of shamanic feel to it.
The Āmurs material is more of a mediating link between known reality of pain and the endurance to find something that lives between the oral, spoken traditions of paleolithic cultures. The primeaval ceremony of connecting your inner, unseen world with the daily struggle of worldly verse.
Quite tempting to listen to it again and again...
