About this album

  • Updated: 07/06/2009

 

Including live and studio recordings, most of the music on this albums comes from pure improvisation and raw sessions. This album mixes electronic ambiences, world elements and deep grooves forming a complex flow of environments to give a rich journey between imaginary realms. Melting Point tries to locate the fusion place between technology and primigenial elements combining synthesizers, samples and computer generated sounds and grooves  with acoustic instruments as flutes, didges, voices, bells, filed recordings and tribal grooves. Some of the tracks on this album includes interpretation artifacts that I decided to keep in order to preserve freshness of the sessions.

This album also includes collaborative support by the artist & friend Patrick van de Ven, contributing with groove percussion, ethnic flutes and rainstick on the track Cave of Forgotten Fires. This album was remastered in 2004, including redesigned cover art by Ran Kirlian.

All tracks composed, performed, arranged and produced by Ran Kirlian at The Kennel 2000 - 2001 Cave of Forgotten Fires featuring Patrick van de Ven on groove percussion, ethnic flutes and rainstick.

Un album d'ambient assez exceptionnel qui, dès les premières mesures vous embarque littéralement, un peu comme "Selected Works I". c'est très dense, intense émotionnellement et les rythmes discrets aux intonations tribales enrichissent de manière prolifique cette musique assez extraordinaire dans son genre. "Sly Desert" ,"Caves of Forgotten Fires" ou "Arc32" ou "Dormant State" aux envolées lyriques très "schulziennes", sont autant de réussites pour ce superbe album .

This album was quite appealing as a sound production. The sounds were the type that were quite powerful sometimes . . . and almost surreal. The music is mostly minimalistic, with a very nice overall flow . .. great sound choices and instrumental punctuations . .. My favorite was "Cave of forgotten fires," which had a Native American flavor to the drums and emotions. This is headphone music .. . . and the really stunning effects come through those earpieces, creating a calm in their wake . . . - M^^W -
