Das Grazer CHMAFU NOCORDS-Label war uns schon durch die hervorragende “RECOVERED PATIENCE“ do-CDR Compilation aufgefallen. Hier ein weiterer sehr guter Release, und zwar eine Zusammenarbeit von MARU & GYDJA mit rituellem ambient Industrial - einzelne fragmentierte elektronisch-sirrende Sounds, dunkle Choräle, langgezogene, wallende Drones mit vielen resonanzwerfenden Effekten... sehr isolationistisch und schön.
“The Bardo Thödol, or Tibetan Book of the Dead, describes the experiences of the soul after death, punctuated by three intervals known as bardo. Over a period of forty-nine days, the text would be chanted to provide the deceased with a guide to the Chikhaia Bardo (the time immediately following death), the Chonyid Bardo (where archetypal visions and karmic illusions are experienced), and the Sidpa Bardo (where the process of seeking rebirth occurs). As part of this otherworld progression, on the thirteenth day within the Chonyid Bardo, the soul encounters four orders of Wrathful Goddesses: Eight Kerimas, Eight Htamenmas, Four Female Door-keepers, and Twenty-eight Herukas. The Bardo Thödol describes each of these Mamo, or witch goddesses, in graphic detail, with a variety of animal heads and bearing numerous magickal objects, and instructs the deceased not to be afraid, as these entities are, in fact, emanations of their own being. All source audio provided by maru. Sound processing, concept and visual design by Gydja.” [label info]
