Subtle Tantra by Arktet
Arktet push experimental music into new territory by using generative composition as an instrument in the improvisation process. The result as heard on "Subtle Tantra" is a warm and deep unfolding of slowly evolving sound worlds, building new vocabularies of musical experimentation in conversation with jazz, contemporary classical and electronic music while coming to delightfully unexpected conclusions.
The pristine and seamless recording, mixing and mastering of the album harmonises the myriad of influences into a trance-like listening experience.
