Music from the other side, one that sweeps you away completely with the sound of a train in its opening moments. Weaving in old folk song recordings made by Slovak ethnomusicologist Karol Plicka as well as the tones of the fujara, the traditional shepherd's instrument, this is a deeply private library drawn from the sound diary Richard Hronský has kept since the age of 16 — and yet it stands as a sound document of universal resonance. A tapestry of sound layering cello, organ and voices over dim ambient-to-drone textures. Pohreb (Funeral): 13 intimate tracks, 39 minutes, bidding farewell to a world once shared with loved ones and living it again through sound. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
