Tracks list

       FLEE Project are known for their work in presenting traditional musics
raw, and then calling on contemporary musicians to recontextualise and reset
them. Here they turn their attention to Mount Athos, a central part of the
Orthodox imagination and home to a hive of monks from many Orthodox traditions.
While the first disc of this double LP release features contemporary
musicians’ interpretations, the second contains performances of various
unembellished chants by a chorus or individual above a drone; the centuries have
honed these melodies, like the fervent ‘Doxologia Chourmouzioy, Mode
Varys’, into perfect balance. They are works of mysticism, a conscious
effort to leave the world and thus save it by prayer. The other half of Athos:
Echoes from the Holy Mountain draws on a clutch of different ensembles to
provide takes inspired by and often using the archive recordings, mostly of an
ambient electronica persuasion, with varying success, but mostly of interest. A
splendidly detailed and opinionated book on the historical and aesthetic
meanings of the Holy Mountain and its inhabitants accompanies the sounds.
