Gigging with a varying and often an extensive group,
Kheta Hotem has visited the studio with a somewhat
stripped basic essence.
This release is a collection of sense-filling presentations
starting with a ritual-like bowl ceremony, which leads
into results closely related with free jazz and ethnomusic.
In their gig brochure the group claims they continue the
more than 1000 years old musical tradition of Komutia,
where the musician acts as a mediator between the world
of sounds and everyday existence. The instruments Kheta
Hotem use are traditional instruments of ritual music: the
didgeridoo and different percussions.
However, the synthesizer and the electric guitar are not
forgotten, either. Acoustic instruments, including the human
guttural voices, meld with those produced electrically - the
traditional Komutian rituals turn into avant-garde. One can
admire and listen to the outcome as an impressive technical
performance, and experience the atmosphere to the marrow.
