Kibrom Birhane, also a member of the LA Afro-jazz project Ethio Cali (whose ranks include Kamasi Washington and Dexter Story), spent a month at LA's Flying Carpet Studios working the massive Studio 110 modular system, using no digital instruments whatsoever. The result is a singular piece of spiritual electronic music — a timeless, otherworldly oddity that carries traditional Ethiopian music, his own roots, into a new dimension by fusing it with Sun Ra-style cosmic sounds and alien textures through his own distinct lens. The beats and rhythms that surface here and there, along with a worldview somewhere near Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, make for blissful synthesizer psych-jazz and meditative downtempo chill-out.
