Description

A collection of new tracks from KraftiM after his first releases on www.musictrade.info,

Short waves and fieldrecordings are explored, expanded and reorganised.

Caragon is partly based on the beautiful Strawinsky Agon-ballet, mixed with cruising carsounds.

Adaschu is influenced by the great adagio of Schubert's stringquintet

Bilena is a virtual collaboration with Surinam singer Bibi and Russian pianoplayer Lena Selyanina (see/hear her also on doc's site www.jamendo.com/en/artist/doc/ )

Pataum is with the giggling of 4-year old Pat, rest is only A, U and M, sung by KraftiM.

Awl I Can Say containes only the processed singing of the A.

Danik contains the humming of my daughter mixed with som waves from Electroteque.

Too ambient for me

04/01/08

Hmmm... It's definitely an interesting effort, but somehow it doesn't appeal to me. I liked the following tracks: 1 Danik; 2 Caragon & 8 Fratatag. The others were:
a) too experimental (5 BiLena - I hated backward recitations mixed with a classical melody here)
b) too ambient and calm (6 Drong - not much is happening throughout the track - IMHO the artist failed to create the mood and atmosphere - the result is boring)
c) uncreative (7 Adaschu - a Schubert's cover without any interesting idea for changing the master's work).

Ambient seems to be an easy genre, but in my opinion it's one of the most difficult, because there is only a thin line between meditation and sleep. It requires a great talent to be able to measure silence, repetitions and long static passages in such way that the listeners fall into a state of ecstasy and not into a coma.

KraftiM chose the right ingredients on three tracks, so he is definitely an artist to be watched.

Of course, if one is a dedicated fan of ambient in any form, he may love the whole album. It is a professional recording, not an amateurish demo.

indeed very ambient..
but although really mindtrippin'
I like the classical elements such as the strings in the songs! it brings a very unique atmosphere..

Experimental stuff. Not for everyone.
Experimental music pretends to bring new ideas to what music is. However, the ideas here were so subtle that I couldn't see them.
