Menggayakan by Celer

4...according to our on Thu 01 Sep, 2011.

Here we have an epic fifty-one minute bliss out from Celer on this limited edition of 150 copies. In many ways it feels like a travelogue created with field recordings, some of which have little to no post production whereas others are more heavily processed and mutate into Celer's trademark therapeutic multi-faceted drones. Who knows what locations within Jakarta and Indonesia these recordings took place. Remote temples? Busy streets? The lack of explanation from the label only adds to the mysterious quality of the releases and just emphasises the importance of the sounds. I particularly like the recording of a person laughing at around twenty eight minutes which precedes a heavy wall of gaseous ambient sound which gradually floods the soundfield. Recommended.
