about

Through live instrumentation and spacey interceptions of synth, @tarot-plane presents an enchanting collection of tracks in ‘Murmuration’. Cycling through the traditional sounds of flute and guitar with bubbling electronics, an interwoven dynamic is established between the serene and exploratory. With an extensive catalogue of new age, krautrock, and ambient fusions on previous projects ‘Horizontology’, ‘The Ektachrome Dawn’, and ‘Light Self All Others’, Tarotplane continues to redefine his sound with charming character. ‘Papilionidae’ opens with a curious interplay between whining flutes and vast soundscapes, cut-up by thrusts of bird-like drones. The track acts as a pacifying opener, unfolding into a medley of synth leads and stuttered, blissful keys on ‘Descartes Camera’. Hypnotic patterns echo throughout ‘Murmuration’, continuing into Side B as fluttering sparks of electronics and heavy bass tones accelerate the project. ‘Murmuration’ becomes intense, and more rooted in electronic synthesis with the cosmic sound palette becoming ever-present. The strong sense of narrative is clear and mesmerising, with each sound adopting discernible characteristics. The gentle destruction of tones generates an impossibly vast space. The closing track, ‘Kappa and Sender’, ends the project with a distorted vocal passage struggling free from the sticky, extra-terrestrial soundscape. The track stimulates an intoxicating call-and-response feel, bundling Tarotplane’s seemingly.

Includes Side A/B Continuous mix when album is purchased.

This is such a well put together mix... like a huge banquet for the soul. Diversety, eclectic quality and perfect tempo for almost 4 hours. Looks big, but tastes small. Congrats, tp caligariwary

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan
