The music is based on keyboard-generated drones, minimalist melodies, piano sounds, and various samples (religious chants,
wind…) that create long haunting, macabre ambient soundscapes. But, the highlight of the performance is the eerie Polish
vocals, alternating between deranged laughter, tortured moans, whispers and spoken word, which add an unsettling ritual
edge to the overall atmosphere.
Although the track list on the cover mentions eight different titles, this record actually plays as one long track. An
almost insignificant detail, but it turns the music into one long seamless, harrowing flow that draws the listener into
the dark, suffocating ritual atmosphere that was created on stage that night.
Judging on this recording, Bisclaveret sound quite impressive on stage and it will be interesting to hear what this duo
is capable of doing in a studio. In the meanwhile, ambient-ritual devotees would be well advised to cast their ears on this...
