Pushing the Burden (I—V)

by

Pellucid Crops


The beginning offered a pleasant looped ambient that quickly transported me into tranquility. However, now and then, a noisy glitch appeared, nicely indicating that this wouldn't be just a stroll through an old castle park. The gradual escalation reveals the intriguing thinking of this performer. Yes, I've known him for some time. I've heard many things from him, but he always comes up with something new, which I wouldn't have expected. On the other hand, I do expect it, given his talent, which is not yet where it should be.


The dragging drone passages were replaced by non-intrusive noisy elements, creating an interesting atmosphere. Only five minutes have passed, but it completely absorbed me. The music would be a great soundtrack for some deep philosophical film or an evening with wine, where one reevaluates their existence. There's a sense of cold and classic darkness, but complemented by a dreamy undertone that, as I mentioned, ventures into the atmospheric, almost fairy-tale-like.


Speaking or writing what I want, can I not? (Rhetorical question. It's my blog, so I'll write what I want.) The transitions are relatively smooth, undisturbed, which I consider a big plus because it doesn't distract me from my contemplative mood or the story I tend to create while listening. The ending is pleasantly faded down. It slowly fades away, but the thoughts linger.


With this piece, I am surprised. The composition sounds simple, but for a keen fan or listener, you can see the effort and underlying thought. It's evident that the performer left a piece of themselves there, which I logically appreciate, as it is original creation and not just the commonplace copying we often encounter today.


The sound is pleasant.

The story is interesting.

The theme is well-executed.


For me, I definitely recommend it, and I look forward to your next creation.

"Created for the untrackable dance of The Earth.

Worshipped and transformed into thunder.

Received back as a whisper,

Turned again into wrath."

Kraj Draka by ZIMOLES

"Folk from the woods and mountains dedicated to the Bohemian traditions and ancient Czech lands." - H. V. Kraj Draka by Zimoles At least we have the internet and various platforms like Instagram or Facebook. Without them, we would probably be better off in the first place (ironic, isn't it? When I'm posting it online like this), but at the same time, we would have greater difficulties discovering new musical gems. Because it was thanks to them that I got involved in this project. I really don't know if it was Instagram or Facebook, but that's not important. What matters is that I got into it, although it's been some time now. But let's go step by step: "Údolí propadlých vod" Beginning. Do I hear water? The chirping of birds and the rustle of the wind are present. A pleasant ambient starts, full of natural sounds blending perfectly with the overall composition (kind of like Slovaks and racism). What do I hear? An old guitar and its pleasant to...

Anthroportrait by ONDREY ZINTAER

 "Of course, the result is quite a result of various coincidences. But that's how it goes." - Ondrey Zintaer Experimental musician. Author of poetry. Parent. A friend. And much more.. But at the same time a person like each one of us. This comes to my mind under the pseudonym Ondrey Zintaer. I have been perceiving this (in my opinion) capacity on the scene for a long time. As I mentioned above, whether as a poet or a musician. I can proudly boast that we are in some kind of contact and that I managed to get my hands on the tape of this act, which this article will be about. If we can call it that.. But let's get down to what's at stake here. Anthroportrait contains 13 songs. There is about a minute left before it will be a full hour. Which, let's face it, is quite a decent length. And no, it's not like his early work focused on harsh noise. It will be unnecessary to write the names and lengths of the songs, because you can find it yourself via his bandcamp...
