Padmasana is a collaboration between Gio Makyo and David Hikari, a
pair of Tokyo chill-out djs, and the mysterious S. Widi, their
"spiritual advisor" from Bali. This album was inspired by misty
nights in Ubud and the mind-shattering "oong" mushrooms of Bali.
The music takes you on a trip through inner and outer space,
finally ending up back in the lush, tropical ambience of Ubud at
night.
The album features field recordings and live performances recorded
in Bali, Tibet, and Tokyo, and varied instrumentation, including:
Tibetan mantra, gamelan, Indian frame drum, water drums, bass,
assorted Balinese percussion, sampler, cumbus, broken BassStation,
Korg Z1, voice, Eventide Harmonizer, tr-303, tabla, and Ubud night
insects and frogs.
About Padmasana:
"Padmasana" is a common type of shrine found in Bali --although
most gods and goddesses are usually visually depicted with statues
and other works of art, the supreme godhead is shown only as an
empty chair, the "padmasana" ("lotus seat"). On one level, this is
a great spiritual prank; on another, it's full of meaning: the
divine cannot be shown as a "god", because ultimately, it's
everywhere and in everyone.
ALSO: Holistic Resonance (Pulsar mix) is available on Equinox
compilation "Strong Sun Moon". --dakinirecords.com
