Magazine Sixty Music Review with Prajnaghosa

Greg Fenton reviews Prajnaghosa – Flow of Adhisthana – Into The Deep Treasury

I will happily get stuck on words to describe music from time to time. Otherwise, it’s too easy. There is something particular about Prajnaghosa’s music as it spreads across Flow of Adhisthana that isn’t quite ambient and yet isn’t quite anything else. It exists on its own terms, defining a unique space.

The sounds undulate like a series of wonderful movements gathering pace in slow time —graceful and poised. Sometimes (in fact, quite often), music created by overlapping pads or drones can feel much the same as copying, but the warmth of the intensely emotional landscapes defy any such notion here. Drums are also employed when required.

I love this because it dances between all five senses while sounding much like now, not lazy yesterday‘s. Even the more traditionally musically rendered Disciples of the sun contains all of those qualities as notes talk up emotions in quiet, resolutely beautiful from. Or on the voila like generated swoon of Postcard. And on The Kuti as the sequence of inner and outer disciplines recedes leaving you with a quality that may be hard to qualify.
