Koan - Memoirs of a Geisha [2008] Diamond Records


Recommended Posts

New Koan's “Memoirs of a Geisha” double CD is the latest attempt to self-interpret both emotional and intuitive sides of beauty according to traditional Asian music. It includes compositions created between ’02 and ’08. Album consists of two parts. Skillful mix of oriental and occidental musical cultures, their traditional folklore allows this release to be regarded as a collection of a musical fairytales with a pan-Asian sound flavor. This release is a musical kaleidoscope with pieces carefully collected from both inspirations, ideas of the oriental cinema and the intertwining results of soul seeking experiences by the project participants. Each track is infused with the fragments of the sagas of ancient Japan, celestial winds of middle kingdom China, harsh and tragic legends of medieval Korea. Style of this release consists of solid instrumental electronics, where every sound element is closely linked to eastern melodics. Lush rhythmical pulsations usher the state of light trance, sending the listeners into the journey through the mysterious Orient.

 

Album is expected in the first decade of November '08.

 

P.S.

Local russian release without world-wide distribution.
