tulasi ~ exotic cocktail party (ikuisuus, 2012)

"exotic cocktail party; appetizer salad. moving magnetic tape. ether weaving sound tapestries. belly-dancers who disappear at the blink of an eye. bulgur with a snake of paradise wriggling in it. the rhythm of movement and breathing. 19th century orientalism in the 21st century Finland. an eye emerging from a beautiful hand. on top of the buffet enjoyed a day standing, but very extracted coffee." 

"perfectly described as Kutomo and Kulkija make music with Alice in Wonderland. rhythm carries everything slimey and bazaars gets on fire. sometimes pure madness, sometimes calm as sleeping corn field. not the duality, diversity. this flower pot carries every seed in new Noah's ark."

music & sounds by Tulasi: Ikävalko & Koho
recorded at Metsälä and Kallio, Helsinki, Finland in 2011-2012.

james ferraro ~ marble surf (new age tapes 2008)

"...Marble Surf is simply the most endlessly beautiful thing I've ever heard. In a post-post-Eno way, James Ferraro composed a slow-motion, ocean-sized waterfall of washed-out angelic choruses, watery steel drums, and dreamy synths that repeat the same basic structure for forty minutes (there are two tracks, but they're essentially the same piece of music)...

...It's a cloud-floating heroin-basted rimjob from jesus in a Terry Reilly calypso dream. It's J.S. Bach for the polaroid-transfer, new-age tapes set. It's weightless and epic and magnificent and ecstatic and transcendent all at once, and it's the best fucking thing I've ever heard." victorian squid

...a los nombres de brian eno, j.s. bach y terry reilly tan sólo añadiría uno más: julianna barwick. y algún pasaje de birthday of bless you de inca ore, aunque marble surf sea infinitamente más sobrecogedor
