vidnaObmana: Tremor vidnaObmana: Tremor (Release - 2001) When vidnaObmana experiences a Tremor, it's something you might want to feel also. Atmospheres, rhythms, various Fujaras, overtone flutes, dreampipe, voices, electric guitar and E-Bow harmonics are fed into the Obmana machine of recycling and abstract mutations thereof... the results strike a three-way balance between his primal, ethereal and contemporary works. And, as they say, it's all good. Subdued power is released by by the tribalesque drumbeats which lurk beneath moedra, striking into the entrancingly amorphous glaze which hovers above. Vaporous flesh Reaper is underpinned by steady percussive effects which eventually drop away from the seething cloudstreams. Stippled by watery rhythmics, the walls of mindTunnel are built of those wheezing Fujara tones and further enhanced by organic textures. Beatlessly shapechanging strands may have once been fluid guitarwork, and are now adorned with chiming glints in the Insane brightness. Tied for being the longest track, both simulate (8:10) and tremor (8:10) hang gauzey ephemera upon a framework of light-but-steady neo-ethno drum patterns. From a deceptively quiet intro, the Bleak inferno (3:06) erupts with the anguished squawls and squeals of a tortured Fujara and other morbidly sweltering energies. An eerie beauty exists throughout this 73-minute-long Tremor, where all things Obmana seem to converge in 11 pieces of darkly delightful ambiguities. Expect pan-tribal rhythmic foundations to be swept with gorgeous shimmers, Fujara flutations and other altered sources as vidnaObmana travels into a 9.2 explorational zone all his own. Fortunately he shares his sonic discoveries with us. This intriguing release comes Release.
