*100 copies limited edition* Yakima is a small agricultural town located in central Washington. It sits snug within a valley, just east of the Cascades, and is itself - still surrounded by mountains, ridges, gorgeous accessible foothills & canyon land. Like being at the bottom of a large dustbowl with a confluence of two rushing rivers at the center. On a quiet morning - dependent upon positioning - one can hear all the sounds of a world-alive; reverberating off the mountain walls...perhaps all the way across town. The natural acoustics are something truly special, and l've been incredibly fascinated with how it all translates to tape. I do suggest headphones while actively listening.

“...'Nadiyaan' - translated from Hindi, simply reads - ‘Rivers’.
Sourced and tracked directly to tape throughout the final winter months of 2025, most significantly though; during the "Last Frost" snowfall & the weeks encompassing the waxing of February's full “Snow Moon".

“…Nadiyaan; plays a 60 min tour-de-force of raw, crude, unprocessed in-situ field recordings & organic verte-bruit concrète. Methodically assembled with a carefully fixated patience - each minute unraveling to reveal itself as one cohesive piece - in three transient movements.

It's here at the geographical confluence of site-specific locations, along the hidden and snowy banks of the Yakima & Naches Rivers under a cobweb of freeways and overpasses; where Rujhaan utilizes the acoustic ecological convergence of sounds from both; natural habitats and modern industry. Invoking the ancestral spirits & energies of long lost Native villages, while irrefutably channeling the naturalist sound works of acoustic ecological pioneers such as Knud Viktor, Jean-Claude Roché and Jean-Yves Bosseur."
