       Pete Namlook used to coin many of his recordings of electronic
impressionism as “new environmental music”, the meanings of which
are simultaneously vague and genre-defining. Perhaps no better example of that
legacy is the Carpe Sonum debut by Faru. Right from the get-go, the fifteen
minutes of “Walk to Sri Pada” situates the listener in dense
thickets of sound, a misty mountain hop of far-off Tibetan bells, vibrant
crickets, the cooing of massed flocks of birds, and an ominous rising thermal of
synth that begins to enshroud the horizon in a great peal of oranges and reds.
It’s a strange psychedelic trip wherein you become one with a
half-recognizable, half-alien landscape that changes affectation and
characteristic with the gait of nearly-imperceptible tiptoes, a faux-Amazonian
rainforest cooling the humid paleolithic climes of a far-flung extraterrestrial
satellite. “The Sacred Mountain” isn’t any less vivid in its
mythological imagery, though now we glimpse the vistas of makeshift lands
through the squinting eyes of new gods, their reverberating chorale conjuring
the ancestral pasts of Popol Vuh, Alio Die, Paul Avgerinos, and other denizens
of epochal eventides long ago swept away. Vast, unchained music that is as
spiritually rich as it is brazenly widescreen, fleet, far-out, and golden-eyed.

(In 2015 I traveled through Sri Lanka and did a lot of field recordings. I was
deeply touched by this wonderful country, the people, and the culture, which
inspired my to make this album.

The style is different from what I do now - it transforms from ambient to
electronica, a blend of percussive grooves, field recordings and vocals.)
