PadraigC I can't get over how great this album is - beguiling, mysterious, enjoyable and most of all - inspiring. As an artist I find this album very invigorating, having come from a sculpture background I loved seeing all the instruments & objects used! I love this release and label. Favorite track: Ninth Contemplation.

about

Clay is a living mystic. This is the ever-dancing childhood of humanity. In the mythology of many peoples of the planet Earth, clay is presented as a medium for the emergence of life and as a material for the creation of the first homo. The Old Testament Adam of the Semitic tribes, Enkidu of the Sumerian peoples, Gayomart in the Zoroastrian service to fire, or the version of the origin of life of the Dogon people, reflected in the secret knowledge of how the goddess of the Earth was created when the omnipotent Amma (Amma) threw clay into the primordial void – these and many other images live in our original feeling of ourselves in the nature of matter and in the endless dialogue of people with the planet.

The idea of creating a musical album «Clay. Thirteen Contemplations on Matter» ripened in me as clays ripen in a drop of rainwater and the muscular contraction of plant roots that trigger the magic of chemical processes. The causes and consequences of a number of cultural events and the artifacts associated with these processes led me to discover the melodies and metrorhythmic formulas contained in ceramic objects and in the structure of the clay itself. Now, entering a room finished with ceramic tiles, I think: «how much music is contained in these walls and in the floor!..». The bedroom of the Mozart spouses in Figaro House (Vienna) - the poet Velemir Khlebnikov and his «Star Alphabet» - the artist Pyotr Miturich and his three-sided cubes - my «Star Alphabet» and the first part of it, the film «Adam» - the music album «Clay. Thirteen Contemplations on Matter». Such is the chain, my letter to mankind. And this is my explanation of love to the planet.

They explore areas of groove-based improvised jazz - Yes, I totally agree. That is what they do. The songs are based on simple phrases from which they develop complex, touching and inspiring music. Thanks for the spirit. freejazzy
