Elemental Garden is the most recent album by an electronic sound artist known by the alias of Kaminanda, released on February 15. The artist’s seventh album, Elemental Garden – seventy-three minutes long – has nine tracks: 1) Waters Within; 2) Exotic Flowers; 3) Jungle Claws; 4) The Crucible; 5) Saffron Mountains; 6) Philosopher's Stone; 7) Dreamscape; 8) Blood and Tears; 9) Elven Forest; with pretty harmonious, dense and exotic grooves, Elemental Garden certainly is one of the most beautiful, versatile and creative albums that I’ve ever heard in the genre. With exceedingly synchronic and dynamic drumbeats, and ostensibly surreal melodic tonalities aligned with discreetly ascendant rhythmic devices, the style of Kaminanda is progressively dilapidated throughout the sensible resonances that abundantly floats in the periphery of the music, navigating tangentially in never-ending hyperbolic sonorous possibilities, that revolves around its own psychedelically vibrant pragmatism.
With an intuitive discretion that overhears its own perfectly cadenced sequences, Elemental Garden displays a gracious set of profoundly cohesive and delightful harmonies, whose melodic impulses are driven by an insanely secure, though audacious creative splendor. With a majestic level of authenticity, that understands the grace of its own meritorious vivaciousness, the album – with all of its horizontal and objective grandeur – seems envisioned as a very singular and opportunistic reassessment of the genre, showcasing throughout its ordeal a vast degree of monumental cohesiveness and impressive elegance.
While the album eventually exposes itself to some degree of ordinary homogeneity – which is something difficult to avoid entirely in this genre of music – it’s easy to identify and recognize in the artist a truly graceful and severe degree of originality, that in its most consistent passages, reveals an entirely different perception of artistry. With a music that understands the gravity of its own singularity, the sound circulates within a very dynamic universe of genuine sophistication, where rhythm and melody revolves around the color of its own latent, dispersive and imperative sensibilities, never to fully return to its previous state of sonorous dilated density.
With a very diluted style that seems to emerge from the colors of a fading rainbow frozen in the horizon, Elemental Garden reveals itself a majestic and gracefully pungent, exceedingly vivid album, all the way through. With a fresh degree of originality that comprehends the availability and the precision of the melodies – moreover how to work them correctly to be permanently functional in the genre –, Elemental Garden is an album full of love and essence, that displays a mordacious degree of technical proficiency, that is developed side by side with the natural creative dispositions of the artist, being the final result an exceptional album of majestic splendor. I think I can positively write without any fear of being wrong that Elemental Garden, the most recent album by Kaminanda, is a marvelously great and fantastic state of the art work, with enough qualities to begin a new chapter in the history of psychedelic electronic music.
