Built from percussion instruments of many ethnic traditions, modular synthesizers, and homemade drum machines. A rhythm-science masterpiece probing the borderline between tribalism and trance! A new album from KHÔRA, the project of avant-garde musician MATTHEW RAMOLO, who has been operating in Toronto's underground for over a decade. Polyrhythmic electronics. Recommended.
Track List
Toronto's MARIONETTE, a label long devoted to genre-less electroacoustic music, presents a release from local underground heavyweight MATTHEW RAMOLO! Centered on deft modular synthesis, this meditative polyrhythmic production combines a wide array of instruments — wooden handle sticks, kalimba, gongs and other percussion, erhu, guitar feedback and more. Hypnotic trance effects built from minimal loops of sound intersect psychedelically with tones that sit outside equal temperament. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
