What would happen if you asked five musicians to improvise a soundtrack for a presentation of your film in a church in Paris and record it? That's what Ho Tzu Nyen must have asked himself, and I'm very glad he realized this. His post-apocalyptic film Earth must be very impressive according to what I've read about it, but also according to what comes out of the speakers.
French drone quartet Foudre hadn't met neoclassical composer Christine Ott before the day of the concert, which adds to the magic of this album. The eerie tones of her ondes martenot match perfectly with the equally nostalgic and intriguing sounds generated by multiple analog synthesisers. Guitar-driven drones and several electronic effects make the general atmosphere complete: an expert level of immersion...
Give a shoulder massage to a cat and you'll see the same effect as this music has on me. I'd purr equally loudly if I could. But restricted by my human form, I just sit motionless while the soul balming sounds do their work. What an album!
For fans of all things that drone out of the box.
