Luigi Turra: Ki



catalog number: and/37
artist: LUIGI TURRA
title: Ki
format: CD x 3

KI 1: ENSO 48:00
KI 2: ANCIENT SILENCE 45:00
KI 3: SHASEKISHU 45:00

A first version of ENSO was originally released by Small Voices in 2007,
but the release suffered from peak-volume distortion due to being
mastered too loud, plus the use of compression altered the sound of
the work. Here, it is free from distortion and compression. ANCIENT
SILENCE was originally self-released as a limited edition CDR EP in 2007.
Presented here for the first time is the full length version. SHASEKISHU
is a previously unreleased third part of the KI trilogy.

KI traverses and transcends dimensions of time and space, so all
notions of past, present and future defy linear logic. Ephemeral
occurrences turn into frozen memories suspended in the air like clouds
of dust in sunlight. An epic and outstanding example of reductionist
sound cinema. A truly visionary work.
