Peter Hennix - ocean

Based on the magnificent tradition of ragas, this album features four long improvisations, in the caring hands of a man who dedicated an immense amount of energy and effort in becoming a highly skilled rudra veena performer. What started out as a genral interest in music and sound culminated in long studies of the mysteries and revelations found in this ancient Indian instrument. Originally released in 2004 this remarkable album presents a flow of ambience carried ashore on the ethereal waves of a mysterious but recurring tide. Based around the ancient Indian rudra veena instrument this is a warm flood you do not want to ebb out. "Ocean" is produced in cooperation with Sangha Records and presented in memoriam to this talented musician. Album comes in a jewelcase with a 16-page booklet and includes reflections on Peter's musical development by long collaborator Franciska "Kali" von Koch and an insight into the context of the four pieces by Mats Lindberg of Stockholm University.
