This is the second part of the collaboration that started with ‘De Aeris In Sublunaria Influxu’, released 2015. Based on a notion of the fascinating Amazonian Piraha tribe, this is an excursion into nine different micro-worlds of perception and consciousness. Music that reaches for the eternal, but it only exists in the very moment.
Rooted in a philosophical reflection inspired by the Amazonian Pirahã tribe, the album unfolds as an excursion into nine distinct micro-worlds of perception and consciousness. Each movement exists as a self-contained inner landscape, fragile and fleeting, reaching toward the eternal yet anchored entirely in the present moment. It is music that dissolves linear time, inviting the listener into a state where sound becomes awareness itself.
The foundation of the work draws from sound sources by raison d’être, recorded and transformed by Troum between 2013 and 2017. These materials were deranged, reframed, morphed and reimagined into new forms, layered with additional instrumentation recorded by Troum, including guitars, voices, flutes, accordion, cello, violin, didgeridoo, dombra, tapes and found sounds. The final mix was completed by Troum, preserving the organic tension between dissolution and structure.
