LUNAR ABYSS DEUS ORGANUM "Tuntury"

Press-release by Aquarellist:

The new album of one of the oldest Russian dark-ambient projects Lunar Abyss Deus Organum is a collection of six sonic pictures of the world of thundra-yoga. Each composition is like a complex multidimentional mosaic build of layered sounds of completely different nature: field recordings, samples, synthesizers, singing, tape noises, etc. These layers not just sound along, but slowly and relentlessly create a slowly twisting deep sonic spiral, stretching listener's attention out to several directions at once. Hallucinatory ambient of double dosage.

Review from Vital Weekly (11.06.2009):

[...] Lunar Abyss Deus Organum is a trio of E.S. on noises, voices and sounds, M.M. on guitars, synths and tapes and Kshatriy on mastering. Their concert was nice, but it seemed to be unfocussed at times, partly due to the nature of improvising and a big love for sound effects. It made me think that perhaps not all music is suited for an outdoor performance. On CD things sound the same, but one has the opportunity to play it under different circumstances, and then this mood music works much better. The music is largely based around voice manipulations of E.S., who feeds it through a long line of sound effects and adds to that the voice 'as is', chanting, humming, whispering and such like, but never using 'words' or 'lyrics' - well, at least in my perception that is. There is of course an undercurrent in this music that makes it 'ritualistic', with its sometimes ethnical flutes and voices, but overall it stays on the good side of things, mainly due to the nice field recordings and the guitar providing some more experimental workings. This makes this into quite a nice and enjoyable release which works best late night and in the dark.

FdW.
