The modest Norwegian Tipi Token label presents an intriguing journey into diverse reconstructions of the dark ambient musician Onasander aka Maurizio Landini. His self-released  ep ‘Ancestry’ from end 2016 was inspired by the military history of the Roman Empire. Four artists were asked by Onasander to give their impersonations on his compositions. Reworking artists are Anja, Klangbunn, Xerxes The Dark and Hilyard. We took the time to listen to the original work too so we could have a clear view on the result of the deconstruction and the  reconstruction process the four tracks had to undergo for  this release. 

Anja (Chris F from New York) gave the drones on Orans a deeper and more imminent sounding effect. The buzzing sounds erupt deep and dark atmospheres. There is not that big difference between the  reworked and the original piece. Anja handled with care the reconstruction and fine tuned with precision the first track of the release.

Klangbunn is the alias of Marius Sortland Myklebust (the Tipi Token label owner and manager). He was in a comfortable position to give Arcadius a total metamorphosis. Klangbunn added a mush of sound effects to the retained skeleton of Arcadius. We were drawn into a world with noisy and distorted textures resulting in a stunning dark ritual ambient recreation.

The response on Trier was done by Xerxes The Dark, the dark ambient alias of the Iranian Morego Dimmer, based out of Tehran. A series of grim touches were added to the drones of Onasander arising in a mysterious landscape of impending vibes and tones. 

With etheric vocals sound designer Hilyard boosted Milivian Bridge into a meditative adventure. The enchanting sound constructions combined with the floating soundscapes and peaceful background babbling work like entering an escape pod, ready to set foot in other worlds.

Ancestry Reworked is without doubt a fine release showing the talents and mastering skills of the artists and the original creator Onasander. The answers of the reworking crew have meaning to stand on their own and demonstrate that there is still a future for inspirational dark and ritual electronic music.
