Drone / ambient.
“ Dronecore. This is the third part in TROUMs Tjukurrpa-trilogy,
following part 1 (harmonies) and part 2 (drones). This final part is
dedicated to “rhythms” and “pulsations”, with a focus on rhythmic,
pounding, looping & repetitive elements and structures.
With TJUKURRPA 3, TROUM shows a not so well known side, using the
trance-power of repetitive textures. In every of the seven extensive
tracks (playtime 66+ min) rhythms in various moods build the basis: from
smooth ambience-pulsations over ritualistic surroundings up to ecstatic
pounding harshness, from underneath & soft pulsative patterns up to
evolving harsh & overwhelming rhythmic loops. The music on
Tjukurrpa III is made by raw & processed loops & handplayed
percussion, along with electric guitar & bass, balalaika, mouth
organ, male & female human voice, flute, and accordeon. No samplers,
synths or computers used.” [press release]
“...The global rhythm of the album is just like a biorhythm, it
becomes the final shape depending on the many individual elements.
Devouring or emphasizing each other, they develop inside the organism
and join insensibly to our attitude, becoming habitual part of it like
breathing or palpitation. The standard rhythmical structures can just
diversify the physical course of time sensation - unlike that, Troum
music embraces all association models control in the human brain, so it
will enchant you and not let you go... despite your frame of mind and
inclination.” [Dmitry Vasilyev, IEM Magazine]
“Their trilogy is a true masterpiece in the genre.” [Fdw, Vital Weekly]
