Aan -Kultainen Kupoli (2011)




/Drone, Avant-garde, Space music, Experimentalism, Electro-acoustic, Improvised music, Forest folk/

Comment: Aan is a Finnish combo whose sound could be classified as forest folk in a general manner, though, the combo´s aesthetics does have embrace enough other experimental elements either. More concretely, Aan`s soundscape is constituted by bristled improvised electro-acoustic progressions, throat singing, vowel experiments and heavy spaced-out drones thereby reminding a little bit of Vibracathedral Orchestra, Uton, and Kemialliset Ystävät, for instance. All of that results in convincing shaman-alike insights and outer space explorations. The album starts off with Aurinkotanssi, and finishes off with Aurinkotranssi.
