Vismaya by Makyo
Makyo's third album, originally released in June 1999.
"Vismaya", the title track, is a 28-minute exploration in zen dub, recorded in one take straight off the mixer. "Vismaya" is one of Indian music's nava rasa (nine moods); each rasa contains its own feeling, and Vismaya correlates to feelings of awestruck wonder: a dream, a vision, a taste of the infinite.
"Pura" was composed and recorded live in Camphuan, Bali, a lush rice-paddy terraced village outside Ubud, with additional production added later in Tokyo. The basic tracks were laid down at Pura Gudung Labuh, a 1,000-year-old moss-covered temple situated near a waterfall. At night, under stars, the presence of the gods is close.
