Album description

A collection of new tracks from KraftiM after his first releases on www.musictrade.info,

This is the first official album , and has his debut here on Jamendo.

Short waves and fieldrecordings are explored, expanded and reorganised.

Caragon is partly based on the beautiful Strawinsky Agon-ballet, mixed with cruising carsounds.

Xamax is based on a wav from my friend Softspace (aka xam) also present here on Jamendo.

Adaschu is influenced by the great adagio of Schubert's stringquintet

Bilena is a virtual collaboration with Surinam singer Bibi and Russian pianoplayer Lena Selyanina (see/hear her also on doc's site and on Lena's site)

Pataum is with the giggling of 4-year old Pat, the beautiful daughter of my friend Doc, rest is A, U and M, sung by KraftiM.

Awl I Can Say containes the processed singing of the A. The basis of spoken word.....

Danik contains the humming of my daughter mixed with som waves from Electroteque.

Fratatag is based on a great wav from my swedish mate frags. His material served as basis for the later FraxurY album, also here on Jamendo.

Listen to it in the dark and let your imagination carry you away!

To listen properly to these tracks you really need the time and space and lack of disturbance, to experience these monologues of musical introspection. After the very abstract, almost desolate at times, first four tracks, Bilena sneaks up like a dinner party when you've had too much narcotic for your aperitif. Then comes big, bad Drong to assail your acoustical senses, it's dark, it's deep, it's postmodern devolvement at it's best. Then it's back to the party and this time everyone's a little more relaxed, chilled by the profound resonances you drift into some obscure angles of sound, into flashes of an amoebic orchestrastration, interspersed with moments of dark panic. Followed by the wild hallucinations of the eighth track, full of the knowledge that larger wheels are turning now, one's beyond your control, is this what it comes down to? Awl that can be said is that this is, especially for being the first, thoroughly recommended to those who have the time and open minds to what we have in front of us and what those who are in control are willing to force feed us with. I like this album, it was a nice little foray into the journey. Thanks:-)

Too ambient for me

04/01/08

Hmmm... It's definitely an interesting effort, but somehow it doesn't appeal to me. I liked the following tracks: 1 Danik; 2 Caragon & 8 Fratatag. The others were:
a) too experimental (5 BiLena - I hated backward recitations mixed with a classical melody here)
b) too ambient and calm (6 Drong - not much is happening throughout the track - IMHO the artist failed to create the mood and atmosphere - the result is boring)
c) uncreative (7 Adaschu - a Schubert's cover without any interesting idea for changing the master's work).

Ambient seems to be an easy genre, but in my opinion it's one of the most difficult, because there is only a thin line between meditation and sleep. It requires a great talent to be able to measure silence, repetitions and long static passages in such way that the listeners fall into a state of ecstasy and not into a coma.

KraftiM chose the right ingredients on three tracks, so he is definitely an artist to be watched.

Of course, if one is a dedicated fan of ambient in any form, he may love the whole album. It is a professional recording, not an amateurish demo.

A Truly Awesome Experience...

18/06/09

A truly awesome experience to be had, from KraftiM, from his album BackVieW. It's intense, interesting, atmospheric,ambient, stimulating, dark even at times, thought provoking, strange yet makes you want to listen more and more to this album, You imagination runs wild with you, the images in your minds eye, take all sort of forms, it's like a nightmare or daydream, whatever you want it to be in your minds eye....

Insane frightning awsome

08/09/08

I have a lot of this kind of music but this one is the kind i was looking for, the sound is centered in a way that is almost scary to listen to, a kinda strange feeling i get from these sounds.

All tracks are very good in their own way, except Adasgu & Fratatag there to expirimental for my brain..lol
I love it, but depressed people better don't listen, can be very disturbing for your mind

Experimental stuff. Not for everyone.
Experimental music pretends to bring new ideas to what music is. However, the ideas here were so subtle that I couldn't see them.
