This musical journey pays tribute to René Daumal and his enchanting world of mysteries and magic. The album sharesits title with Daumal's novel, Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing, published posthumously in 1952,eight years after the author's untimely death. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mount Analogue is a classic allegorical adventure novel.The novel describes an expedition undertaken by a group of mountaineersto travel to and climb the titular Mount Analogue an enormous mountainon a surreal continent, that is invisible and inaccessible to the outsideworld and can be perceived only by the application of obscure knowledge.The central theme of mountaineering is extensively explored throughliterary and philosophical lenses.Daumal died before the novel was completed, providing an uncanny one-way quality to the story, which ends abruptly in the middle of a sentence. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The first discfeatures a fifty-minute composition divided into six chapters:Introduction, Meeting, Supposition, Crossing, Arrival, and Conclusion. This album weaves together a rich tapestry of diverse instruments, sounds,and voices that collectively tell the story of this conceptual work, loadedwith a synesthetic multitude of colors, aromas, meanings, textures,and moods. Contributors to this musical poem include Bill Laswell (bass),Henry Kaiser (guitar), Anna Clementi (vocals), Percy Howard (voice),Hideo Yamaki (percussion), Graham Haynes (cornet), Dorian Cheah (violin),Nils Petter Molvaer (trumpet), Peter Apfelbaum (keyboard), andP.ST (concept, electronics), who all lend their talents to a series of excerptsfrom Daumal's text.A truly global project, the recordings took place across various locations in Europe, North America, and South America, culminating at Orange MusicStudio in New York, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Bill Laswell,James Dellatacoma, and Michael Fossenkemper. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The second discdisc presents five improvisations for solo electric guitar by Henry Kaiser.The first solo, Jodorowsky's Peradam, draws its inspiration fromAlejandro Jodorowsky's 1973 film The Holy Mountain, which was inspiredby the Daumal novel. Kaiser's initial forty-eight-minute guitar solo servesas a foundational guide for his four subsequent, Rashomon-esque, solomusical interpretations of Mount Analogue, as seen through thepsychedelic labyrinth of Jorodrowsky's cinematic masterpiece. | |
