Trečiadienis, balandžio 24 d.
The album is very interesting even if you do not know (as me) what a granular synthesis is. It uses a classical variation form in a-moll and is an extremely overpowering listening experience. Stunning and surprisingly melodic harmonies keep emerging from the granulated and continuously shifting computer generated sounds.
To tell it in my words, i find it to be a perfect form of a meditation. The sound which, to say it simple, reminds noise/wall of sound, is a marvelous journey to concentration. If you follow the sounds, they can bring you both happiness and joy and various other (it depends) feelings. For me, long, lasting from 8 to almost 15 minutes, compositions fantastically fit into a possibility to grasp some inner peace.
It’s one of my favorite Gintas K’s albums, being as concept as it could be. If there are rock stars in the universe of experimental music, Gintas K is one of them.
