Intergalactic French Library music cut from the early stages of Ariel Kalma’s majestic recording career. Very welcome reissue via Italy's Black Sweat Records.. (NM)
Kalma’s music has always dealt with the expansive.Expansion of the mind, of the spirit, of the body.The 1980 release Interfrequence, originally recorded for French music library Editions Montparnasse, explores a series of throughly cosmicsound pictures, each underpinned by celestial synth work - Moog, electronics, feathered drum machines, the works.His second album ‘Osmose’ dived deep into the sounds of Mother Nature, augmenting the sounds of the rainforest into a minimalist aural wonderland, whilst Interfrequence taps into the main vein of the cosmos.But in contrast to the likes of the purely space-age sounds of Schulze, there’s still an earthiness to Kalma’s hypnotic repeating motives and subtle acoustic embellishments - like pure mesmerising repetition and searching melodies beaming out an iridescent ripple from earth into the cosmos.
