about

Around the theme of the ocean symbolising the subconscious, the hidden world and a very personal concept of "loisiveté" a combintion of idleness "oisiveté" and law "loi", Maninkari continues exploring a weird and dreamlike world.

As usual, the Charlot brothers resort almost exclusively to the use of acoustic instruments with oriental origins (bodhran, cymbalom, santoor, viola, cello, zurna).

Percussion instruments especially the bodhran play melodic or textural figures, whereas stringed instruments become repetitive to a point where they embody the rythmics.

The combination of repetition and oriental tones create a heady sound continuum providing the 10 nameless tracks with ? a mantra-like resonance. A short breathing in the middle of the album with an organ and birdsong is the only quiet moment of this tormented (but without violence), and meditative (but without bliss) record.

The permanent state of tension recalls the rigours of law and repetition provides the calm alternative of idleness "l'oisiveté".
The ocean offers all of it's grandeur to this introspective journey.

Scaleby
by The Inward Circles

supported by 5 fans who also own “L'océan rêve dans sa loisiveté - First session”

Scaleby is found on the other side of the veil, compared to its coarser twin sister And Right Lines Limit And Close All Bodies. The patches of unsourcable sounds seem filtered through dense layers of mud and fog, emerging as dissonant and hobbling remnants of a grey funeral past still instilling their complex feelings into a quivering present. Often muffled, at times stinging, but always deeply cathartic, Scaleby is an other beautifully crafted melancholic ode to the inevitability of decay. Dotflac
