Projekt re-releases vidnaObmana's classic the River of Appearance
with a bonus disc, the entire album performed by Oregon's Dreams
in Exile. River was a high point of Obmana's early compositional
style, presenting a minimal and serene flow utilizing sparse piano
lines which intermingle with drifting keyboard loops and organic
rainstick sounds. There is an overall harmonic unity on these 8
pieces, stripping dense walls back to reveal a slowly changing
sound configuration. The 2nd disc is not merely bonus tracks, but
a complete re-creation of the original on traditional instruments.
Re-experience the everlasting melancholy of the River of
Appearance on this exceptional 10th anniversary 2-cd release.
Kirk of DiE writes: "Corey and I have always been fans of the
nearly lost art of albums. Between us, we can think of at least a
dozen complete albums in which each melody, inflection, and subtle
quirk are etched completely in our minds and memories. the River
of Appearance is one of these. The first track I heard from the
River of Appearance was in 1996 while driving on the deserted
Palisades Parkway at 4:00 am. I was spinning around the radio dial
when I suddenly heard a distant, unearthly moan that seemed to
originate somewhere outside my car û it was ôEphemeral vision.ö
Four years later, vidnaObmana invited us to record River
ourselves. The compositions were scored using an invented
technique which involved drawing visual navigational charts of
each piece. With the help of a childrenÆs choir, a cellist, and
two horn players, the River was diverted into a different channel
û one in the realm of Dreams in Exile."
Reviews of the original cd:
"Eight atmospheric pieces from thie Belgian composer. At times,
sparse, pretty piano lines float over shimmering walls of
electronics, evoking a melancholic yet romantic feeling. At other
moments, cyclical melodies interweave with each other in a slowly
moving stream of sound which stirs the imagination. The talented
Vidna Obmana continues to evolve and refine his music, now draping
his spacey aural atmospheres with more defined melodies." -Bryan
Reesman, Alternative Press reviewer
"Nothing in Vidna's previous releases will prepare you for the
glories, the passion, and the transcendental beauties of this
release. This is a crowning achievement; in the heavenly, soaring,
shimmering, meditative vein. This is a must-have release for all
lovers of space and ambient music." - Bill Schroeder WEFT /
