Notes:
SMASH
Mare Di Dirac are an Italian collective who create lo-fi, morbid
and sometimes ritual based sound that mix together elements
field recordings, natural reverb, human voices, subtle
electronics and selection of instrumental percussion matter
taking in old church organ, didgeridoo, Tibetan bells, marine
trumpet, rain drum and other elements.
Their sound falls somewhere between crude ritual ambience, murky
grim drone matter and dark 'n' dank sound art. The ancient
Greenlandic inuit's legends spoke about Tupilak or Tupilaq, as
an assembly of various objects frabricated by shamanism for
ritualistic chants. This type of symbology brings to mind the
fundamental concept of additive synthesis and union of various
elements in the mixing proc. The compositional phases are the
result of a long ritualistic process where any sound's element
are arranged to recreate the solid form of Tupilak.
Tupilak is based on unusual method of composition, using
particular kinds of instruments like Marine trumpet, Waterphone,
Gong, Didgeridoo and other ritualistic instruments and mixing
with digital sound of granular synthesis and minimal noise of
various analog electronic elements. The recording techniques are
made so as to generate a total immersion into the resonant body
of instruments, to give to the listener a deep perception of
sound waves.
