Some albums get you nailed to your seat right from the start…you can’t stop listening until it ends, and barely move inbetween because you don’t want to miss anything.
This is exactly what happened to me when listening to “Tutuguri“, a new album from Chilean sound artist Felipe Otondo.
The opening track of ‘SAMA SADJA‘ , ‘Seimbang’, slowly unfolds reminiscent of a vintage Klaus Schulze track, but the similarity does not last for long. The album takes an unexpected turn, delving deep into Indonesian traditional culture, with fascinating and hypnotizing musical result.
It’s definitely no ‘roots music’ from Indonesia. But it’s not your average ambient drone, either!
