This album is dedicated to Ram Dass !! ( www.ramdass.org )

released January 8, 2023

With the longest of the three pieces on this album clocking in at 35 minutes, one is reminded of the Zen teaching famously quoted by John Cage: “If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.” Boban Ristevski and Wilfried Hanrath, however, don't take their cues from Zen, but from Ram Dass, the LSD-pioneering psychologist turned hindu guru after a trip to India, whose book 'Be Here Now' was first published in 1970 and introduced Eastern spirituality into Western countercultures on a large scale.

As with earlier collaborations of Boban Ristevski with other musicians, the spiritual framework seems to suggest that the immersion in a shared sound-space, always lavishly ambient and droning, prone to invite a journey (or focussing) of the mind, is a kind of core for collective meditation. However, the music also works without endorsing the thoughtworld of West-coast Eastern mysticism if one chooses to focus on the minute details and liminally subtle changes that occur as the stream of sound flows through one's consciousness. Fascinating for sure is the way in which Wilfried Hanrath, whose main instruments are usually bass and guitar, has morphed his musical language into a symbiosis with the sheets of electronic drone minimalism that is a trademark of Boban Ristevski's recent work.

Boban Ristevski Skopje, North Macedonia

Few of the music projects of B Ristevski are concentrated and based on exploring mostly the ambient / drone and industrial / noise related kinds of music. With elements of minimalism / improvisation / abstraction, etc. ; the music is balancing between the more structured forms and an improvised approach to music.

He's also writing, some kind of essays and translating, from english to macedonian.
