clime


"new collaborative project from Jake Webster (Tuluum Shimmering) and Jimmy Billingham (Tidal, Venn Rain, etc.). live recordings channel echoes of ancient extra-terrestrial civilisations, lost in the jungle, reverse-engineering primitive synthesis and jamming into the eternal with shamanic elders. sweet, syrupy sounds of a hundred bandsmen, tape thick with teeming humidity and ecstatic offerings ~ archaic zones for alien futures. beam down. 50 pro-dubbed double-tape sets, with collaborative artwork by Jennifer Crouch and Jimmy Billingham." sunk series

"organic, mid tempo compositions that feel absolutely alive. It’s almost impossible to tell by listening if these are pieces of genuine instrumentation, a product of electronic manipulation, or some hybrid of both. slowly evolving side length movements that shift and shine. the sort of desert hallucinogenics one might experience during the final hour of a sweat lodge purification ceremony." guide me little tape


colaboración de ensueño, en total casi dos horas del ambient planeador de Jimmy Billigham envolviendo las percusiones tribales, flautillas en bucles infinitos, melodías ancestrales y cánticos chamánicos del maestro Tuluum. la definición perfecta de jungle age, tan difícil de explicar, está aquí, en 'rift-valley landing', pura euforia analógica de hipnótica belleza que nos transporta a otros mundos, a antiguas civilizaciones llenas de vida invadidas por extraterrestres amigos, "ecos de retransmisiones de antiguas civilizaciones extraterrestres, perdidas en la jungla". como esos discos que en vez de discos parecen collages, que escuchas una y otra vez para encontrar nuevos detalles, Clime poseen ese algo intangible, abstracto y orgánico, tan mágico como indescriptible, de 'iscandarian sunset' de Transmuteo y 400 Lonely Things,  Komodo Haunts o Water Lily Jaguar... no sé por qué (calendarios mayas, bosques, ritos,...) pero de repente me he imaginado a morti dibujando sus historietas del fin del mundo con la música de Clime de fondo, esas flautillas lejanas de la preciosísima 'cara c'...
