FraxurY is made in the beginning of 2008. Basic material are wav's from frags, my musictrade friend from Sweden. Another basic is the used dutch hexagram with adapted and converted 6 basic elements of live, music and dedication, that are reflected in the 6 tracks and titles. Ilut with its alien sidesteps was also intended to be used on a VA regarging the Roswell Incident, where Orwellian elements were added and working title was "Sorwell be4". Here it's just Ilut. Its meant to be a bit trippy so be prepared and relax and enjoy the layers of sound played heavy.
NOTE:
A superb 24bit lossless FLACversion can be obtained FREE on www.mininova.org/tor/1930800
Amli glitters sonically at me spaciously, it gives me room to recover over my day of panic and potential sorrow. Relief, for now at least... The track is simply effective through its very simplicity, and is quite soothing to this troubled spirit of mine!-) Tulo seems to continue the symphony, but from a slightly different perspective, represented by new, additional sounds and echoes. Beat becomes more obvious at times, leaving less to the imagination (or can I really hear/feel those larger, subtle patterns?). The melodies starting to build and complexify. Then, the background becoming the foreground the tune begins to come and go. It's like a soundtrack for a slow motion piece of film, or one running over miles of wild countryside. Isev arrives like a train with plenty of 'background' noise, then synthetic noises start to scream silently around the large structure of the track, interspersed with flourishes of drumbeat. Then that sound's back, like the one that used to literally pin my head down to my bed overcome with channelling energy in an uncontrolled manner. It still gets me now, which is why I could associate with the likes of Tangerine Dream, in which softspace have managed to achieve a high bar, but then so has this album too so far, but in a different, and slightly more darker, complexified way. I am no longer that child, far from it some days!-) Seim starts wonderfully with an that slow but sure build up of soundtrack noise, again the sense of movement, the simplicity of tones but complicated relationships are what make it evocative. In all these tracks so far is the sense of propulsion, movement, not just the inner kind but I can imagine it being used to support panoramic scenery and going overground, without going overboard. Ilut has a totally different feel to begin with, seeming at first to be darker, but it's so obviously organic, and even the digital interpretation comes over that way at first. However, it warms itself up as it progresses and you find yourself transported again but in a more 'liquid' fashion. Like making your way through the atmosphere of some strange new world somewhere out there, within some strange, new element, that changes everytime you think you got the hang of it. Followed by Aam, a ten minute soundscape, that starts quite chilled, fresh, unexplored world kind of way. This track, I think, is that exploration of uncharted territory for the listener (and perhaps the performer) that is within/without us all. It just depends on how far you want to get involved. KraftiM's music has always appealed, among others to be fair, and I feel safe enough to say that this seems to be a progression from other works, all of which are brilliant in their own right, it's a dynamic transition. Keep up the good work!-)

'FraxurY', is not a traditional album in the context that the musical arrangements are not typical Melody-Harmony or Treble-Bass structure. The style is PURE Electronica. Not Techno. Not Trance. Not a Crossover.
Six tracks of "Electronic" sounds and tones complete each selection. It is difficult to describe the sounds/tones as depending the listener--each person may hear something different: buzzing, humming, whirring, rushing water and etc. This said--the tracks increase in complexity and variety of sounds sequentially--for example, Track #3. 'Islev' has more variety of sounds, tones and rhythms than Track #1. 'Amil' but less than Track #6. "Aam"(even this is subjective and open to interpretation. Listen for yourself).
The mood of the album is more than quiet. It is tranquil and while, to some, the overall voice may seem monotonous it is enjoyable. Suffice it to say this album is excellent background for tedious pursuits that require concentration without distraction.
Quite aggressively ambient. As I listened I almost felt attacked by the sounds as they overwhelmed my senses. Very good - a job well done with the composition and form. Thanks for sharing.
On the one hand, this music would be perfect as a soundtrack for a movie (of the '2001--A Space Odyssey' sort), it being a beautifully hypnotic kind of music; on the other hand, if unadorned with colourful visuals, this music would unfortunately be rather dull, it being a kind of music that is lacking in diversity.
Much has already been said about this album that is true. I can't add much more, but just that I enjoyed the ambience of the music very much. It has a peaceful feel, a relaxing feel, that allows you to float away deep into yourself and find your soul. Nice work.
good album, 1st (amli) track is quiet heavy and pressing (dutch=drukkend of aanwezig)but the rest is more open, scaping and spacy. i like it. good mixing of the tracks as well. (1 tracks floats into the other)
ps: i already put this album in my " ambient" playlist.
This is a truly perfect textural electronic/space ambient evolutionary sound experience. Composed to perfection in the best tradition of contemplative, deep listening ambient music, because of the well-chosen balance of engaging sequencer sections and shimmering, tranquil moments. Thanks Tim and
looking forward to see how you are going to "top" this '-)
