A submission recorded by Arthur Elsenaar of Maksim Katsnelsona, a street musician playing in Central Park NYC, inspired us (Boukor & Jeroen) to follow up with some more mantric tracks. Accordeon (Pauline Oliveros) and guitar (Sunn O)))) drones, repetition of the word f### (Osho), (abbreviated radio edits of) the inevitable trance-inducing Indian sitar in traditional (La Monte Young) and 70s krautrock (Popol Vuh) stylee..is it all healthy, these repetitive instrumental and vocal tunes? It sure is if you take a “postmodern” approach to the mantra-theme: THE mantra is dead, long live the MANTRA!
More to come next week!
