Somnoroase Păsărele - 0RT0

Emptiness eclipsed by sound. Vast open spaces rattled by trembling ground, the quake connecting untraveled distances. An Atlantic hurricane moving through Caribbean islands, the coastline of the States, Canada, Greenland.... Ireland. A solar eclipse darkening a swath of land across a continent. Immense distances in some state of calm tranquility united by geologic, atmospheric and cosmic events. 0RT0 travels this long path in conscious thought. Four lengthy suites, pleasantly settling and alarmingly pulling. Feelings across the entire spectrum of individual awareness, harmonic peacefulness mutating into stirring unrest, then calm once again. The undulating process like a buoy in high seas, Somnoroase Păsărele is both the ocean and the unyielding stability of the marker. A wisely patient composition requiring listening constitution to hear the far reaching depths.

Somnoroase Păsărele's 0RT0 is a dynamic symphony. Divided into four movements, each traversing aural landscapes of gentle moments to swaggering fanfares. 0RT0 lives and breathes, these sounds are similar to the mechanical functions within an organic body. Swiftly crisp tones emitted as cells regenerate by sonic circulation. Brisk notes issued for signals being transmitted to a calculating cortex. The gurgling process of energy being consumed and utilized radiates beyond the form. Connecting all four suites together are the tonal qualities and patience maintained within each piece. There are interludes of meditative drone, at points the entire composition in a state of contemplative rest. 0RT0 is far from ambient quietude though, this is a complex composition providing the consciousness a highly developed introspective companion. Gili Mocanu has effortlessly pushed past listening margins once again.

This hand stamped cdr was released in re-used dvd cases by the Normal, Illinois label Aubjects. Normal is just north and adjacent to Bloomington, Illinois. Enclosed within are silver card stock inserts with all track titles and recording information. Additionally there is a beautiful solar eclipse booklet created by the label curator D. Petri, with cover art by Gili Mocanu. A companion video was created for Suite IV, this link is on the Aubjects bandcamp page and was also done by D. Petri. Once again, Miru Mercury mixed and maintained the high standards as with all Somnoroase Păsărele releases. 0RT0 is in a very limited edition of forty, copies are currently available from the label.

Just read a very informative interview with Gili Mocanu conducted by D. Petri. Here is the link.
