Spiracle - Ananta (Mystery Sea, 2006)

1 Ananta (Mystery Sea Mix) (62:22)

Hitoshi Kojo, ici sous son alias Spiracle, nous livre un drone en forme de long mantra centré sur une simple tonalité modulée...

" Riding on currents of the atmosphere. Collecting the radiance of infinite stars. And listening closely...

To the subtle howling of flames, the genetic suns in the flow of blood.

To the caresses of the membrane of gravity by your spiral tentacles.

To the wounds being filled with magma, the splashes becoming the Milky Way in the flesh of the sky.

To your blink-of-an-eye, each a scale of Ananta, each a lifetime of omnipresent stars."
- Hitoshi Kojo, January 2006

Hitoshi Kojo (b. 1969, Japan) has worked in various artistic branches such as music, painting, installation & performance, using both a traditional & contemporary methodology...
Brought up with the influence of ancient asian culture, he exposed himself recently to Europe where he currently has most of his activities, absorbing old myths & customs, & collaborating with other like-minded artists
(mnortham [under the KODAMA moniker], John Grzinich, Nobu Kasahara, Loren Chasse to name but a few...). The theme of his projects often drifts from scanning daily matters, trying to catch that elusive spark at the very core of a momentum...
Hitoshi Kojo manages also his own label : OCTPIA, since 2000...
Several of his titles were created under the "spiracle" name, his main solo project)...
-
For Mystery Sea, spiracle has weaved an original/special mix of a new piece entitled "ananta"...
Listening to "ananta" is like inhaling a cloud of stars at twilight, drinking up all its creeping flow of energy... breathing like a snake undulating under the dark primal waves... channelling unknown forces...
"ananta" is being within the stream, living it from the inside, becoming it, reaching that impossible oneness, if only in the phosphorescence of a unique moment...
"ananta" is a key to universal empathy...
a bridge to a world waiting hidden, there behind the curtain...
a deep essential vibe captured just for you...
