Vishuddha Kali : Psenodakh LP Review
Russia's Vishuddha Kali at a first listen
seems to sound more like a project summoned
from the mountains
of Tibet rather then those of St. Petersburg. However, this solo endeavor of
artist Andrei Komarov embodies an aura that soothes the listener's mind into a
sleep lucid as the light of day. The ambiance projected on Psenodakh is an
array of chants and vocal manipulations all stemmed from the artist's voice
alone. A concept familiar to monastic sects and also other musical acts such as
San Diego's Prima Materia, the album is quite trance inducing, a perfect
backdrop for a quiet evening of contemplation or meditative practice. The
listener becomes immersed in the thick layers of vibrations & drifts with
the centering nature of chants & echoes. The minimal percussions on the
record are quite ritualistic, focusing energies to a concentrated expression of
formlessness. In retrospect, Psenodakh embodies the primordial essence that
breathes life into the heart of nature!
