Der Ohlsen "Guillaume Cazalet's spiritual brother presents four tracks, "Blood", "Mist", "Moon" and "Soil", all of which are as much music as they are shamanic incantation. Talking drums, singing flutes, all-pervading bells, humming and scratchy drones and rustic throat sounds come together in a minimalist yet damn powerful mind cleansing"

Jordan Vauvert Aussi simple à aborder que de la pierre ce 石 Stone, premier album de 若潭 ruò tán : constitué en grande partie de drone et de noise, il est dense, impénétrable ; les percussions rituelles nous tombent dessus comme un éboulement ("霧 Mist" est une expérience sonore). Mais c'est un album riche en aspérités, en détails : il fait entrer dans un état second par ses gongs et ses chants de gorge ("月 Moon") ; pris dans sa globalité, il est harmonieux. Aussi difficile à aborder qu'une pierre, ce 石 Stone... Favorite track: 霧 Mist.

about

▼WV012/060: 若潭 ruò tán - 石 Stone

巨石原野 意識最深處

"From darkness to light, and light to dark, drones and noise lead to cacophonous elevation and inevitable vertiginous fall. The music of 若潭 ruò tán introspectively explores minimalist percussion and experimentation of the sonic textures and effects, drawing the listener through the intense, crawling abyss of consciousness. A ritual of deepening, leaving naught but emptiness in its wake."

「從黑暗走向光明，反之亦然。從噪音和長音中取出一個整體的聲音，上升，之後是眩暈般的墜落，若潭的音樂在內省和實驗中冒險。通過極簡的打擊樂和效果器的使用，描繪出一種激烈的潛行感，通向意識的最深處。一場深邃的儀式，也留下空白。」

"Des ténèbres vers la lumière puis inversement. Puisant dans le drone et la noise un ensemble de sons menant à l'élévation puis à la chute vertigineuse, la musique de 若潭 ruò tán s'aventure sur le terrain de l'introspection et de l'expérimentation, utilisant les effets et les percussions minimalistes pour animer une intense reptation vers le fond de la conscience. Un rituel profond laisse place au vide."

- N.K.R.T
