Also recorded in the same session as Gong Song in October 2015, this time it started with the drone of the UDU (a clay vase with a hole in the belly - East Africa, like a ghatham - south India). Acoustic bass brutally mixed to the front... like you can feel its breath!

Udu Clouds

The soundscape and drone was first composed and performed by VictorYibril - Spain. 
Acoustic expansion and percussion was then added by MATJAMI - Netherlands. "Sleeping Sun" is the prelude and the inspiration to the second collaboration "Victor Meets MATJAMI(VMM-style)". 
Victor made the cover art painting after we completed the musical art.
For the maximum 3-D sonic experience (Bi-anural!), position your head almost between the speakers, or use a good headphone (most ear plugs will not give you the rich, deep texture of sounds, or the 3-D image). Don't start too loud; you can always turn it up later!

Enjoy and share with friends!
 

MATJAMI and VictorYibril - Sleeping Sun

Original music and cover art design by Victor Candela

Amplex (Impossible Cities New Mix)

An intriguing journey through a beautiful forest.  This is the first collaboration that VictorYbril (Spain - soundscape) and MATJAMI (the Netherlands - percussion and gong drones) have produced via Soundcloud and We Transfer. Play not so loud over big speakers or a good headphone, otherwise you'll miss the heart beat...
Please also check our prelude "Sleeping Sun - VMM-Style"
 
Victor first created the soothing and mysterious sounds , and also painted the cover illustration after we finished the recordings. MATJAMI brought in the high-toned metal beacon sound, and then added the heart beat on the deep bass drum and the rythm on the Balinese kempli. Finally, we added the fast clicking sounds of the bat in the background (courtesy and permission of Fintan O'Brien, a brilliant and inspiring field recording specialist also on Soundcloud).
Enjoy, relax, meander with the flow of the river. 

MATJAMI and VictorYibril - Victor Meets MATJAMI

The third collaboration in 2015 between Victor Yibril (Spain - soundscape and drone sounds) and MATJAMI (Netherlands -  percussion, gongs, heart beats and bells). 
'Osmanthus' is an exquisite fragrance from a flower found on the hills of the Himalaya, and this inspired Victor for both sound- and cover-art. MATJAMI cannot help but use big, heavy gongs and concert drums to capture the heart beat of this composition, so again you need good speakers or better headphones to hear that properly. 
We hope you enjoy, like and repost!

MATJAMI and VictorYibril - Osmanthus Dream

Imagine a journey with a friend through a warm and peaceful forest. In the middle of the night you arrive at a smooth sand bank, laced by the soft murmer of the stream that you followed. As you wake up at first light, you see the dance of early birds and rays of sun light through the jungle canopy, the reflection of light in the pools next to you... all you do is look, gaze and wonder: The Place.

This time our collaboration worked the other way around: MATJAMI sent Victor a groove on pots 'n pans 'n gongs, Victor reworked it completely and added a whole new feel to it, and MATJAMI re-mixed it to the final version... true collaboration, based on respect and trust!

The original recording by MATJAMI is now published as 'Belles and Gongs - First Movement'.

MATJAMI and VictorYibril - The Place

Ambient Poetry, new thing in our repetoire... listen to 'Soul Fury' as well.
A bit dark starting point, but ulimately it is about love, tenderness and the strength to be true. Snippets of a speech by Pema Chödrön which she held in Sept 1999 titled: "What are we afraid of?". 

Music created and played by Marcel, Tjalling's drone was transplanted entirely from our track "Under the Surface", and the whole thing was  re-mixed and 'spiced' by Mike (finally, he did not use that bass drum!).
Still don't know if you should play this first and then Under the Surface, or the other way around... what do you think?

What are we afraid of? (feat. quotes by Pema Chödrön)

From the compilation "Simoom" released on Seagrave late August 2016.

Resonance Cascade

'The sweet smell of Opoponax mirre carries me away to dreams of my Somalia... I drift amongst the stars, to hidden places of wonder and joy...'

VictorYibril launched 'The Long Silent Movement' in 2015 (see his SC-pages); brilliant and inspiring sounds and movements...
Ever since, MATJAMI has been working on a MATJAMI-style version. After several previous attempts, we now arrived at a stripped and re-mixed version of the LSM tracks, and the addition of the real timpani, singing bowl, small vietnamese gongs and a palm-leaf sweeper. Quite different from the original track, we are happy to publish it for our listeners to give some warmth in dark December (or bright December if your are down south!). 
We would love to hear what you think/feel/hear/experience... add it to the comments if you like.
Also check out our previous Osmanthus Dream, another 'sensory' ambient track. 
Enjoy!
Victor and Mike

MATJAMI and VictorYibril - OPOPONAX

Music for a Short Story
" ... but the rain did not really matter, as the colour and the smell of things got more intens. Not wanting to leave, hooked in the moment... Did it matter what would happen in time? I suppressed the questions of how and why; it would only spoil the experience...

'Music for a short story' is composed, recorded and produced bij Marcel Bode from MATJAMI. The main piano theme was composed bij Marcel Bode and Mariël van den Berg. (The picture is a photo made by Marcel from a series of abandoned wooden boats in Scotland)

Ed van den Brekel & VictorYibril - Bolero

Thanks so much from John to Victor for taking a piano improvisation on one of his wondrous journeys into the mysteries and the world of his dreams, as he put it:

"Writing about music is always something very subjective and sometimes absurd because each person will feel something different when listening to the same piece. But I tell my feelings, the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, my place of games, the oasis where I was born and live, the art of ancient cultures, the mysteries, the world of my dreams." 

Thanks also to Victor for creating the rich image that accompanies this music.
