“Long tones and bubbling electronics seamlessly intertwine with the delicate rattling abstraction of percussion and other acoustic sources, producing a series of intricately detailed sonorous landscapes that sound like little else of their moment.”

* Edition of 500. CD and 12 page booklet in gatefold cardboard sleeve * More than any other of Ranta's releases this album shows his multiple roots and ideas as a composer, percussionist and concrete/electronic musician, building a seamless bridge between Eastern and Western avantgarde. Michael Ranta is one of those rare composers able to organically melt his wide artistic span into a singular but yet diverse universe morphing his rich vocabulary as a percussionist with the Oriental esoteric tradition, the psychedelic underground and the realm of electronic minimalism.
