ill.Gates presents his second sampler to his forthcoming album, Departures. This time featuring world renowned drummer / percussionist Ben Walsh playing the dulcimer and @katiasmusic providing the soulful vocals. Danidoo played the flute samples. 

Mad props to everyone over at Paradise One in Australia. 

Bamboo was mostly composed in Australia and Jamaica on a global pilgrimage by ill.Gates that generated much of the Departures and Terminally ILL material. The last stop on the trip was Bamboo Bass festival in Costa Rica. Katia's vocals were recorded outdoors on a rainy night in the bush. If you listen closely you can still hear the raindrops.

Bamboo

BAMBOO ft. Ben Walsh + Katia

The bass line is like a divine grace always accompanying on the set, and yet styles and directions change, break down, build up again. Every track in the set is a lived through story for me. And for connoisseurs of fresh exclusives - a collection of subtle delicacies.

Audio journeys through the picturesque and most dangerous corners of the Universe. Mystical rituals on Mars, a lonely humanoid guarding a space furnace, a tribe of artificial intelligences, the passage beyond the edge of death and the plunge into heaven, hypnotic effect of Alphacentaurus, evolutionary leaps, radiation for the benefit of mutation, digital indulgence, timeless matter, energy volcanoes of the outermost arm of attention, collusion of lamas with aliens, the forest is a refuge for fairy tales, tin as a way to love, to love as a way to lie, fashionable musical trends of 2039, disintegration of you into composite objects of attention, emotional echo of the robot era, mechanical life of people, classics as avant-garde, rebellion of plants, meetings in the attic, dump planets where the wisest life in the universe originated, shivering stars, nano multi geometric happiness, gravity of mental phenomena, slavery of authority, still eyes looking into black holes, failures of you, motherland is not calling, erasure of sensory memory, tunnel to an improved version of not you, post pre-apocalypse culture, abandoned space stations in the asteroid belt, 
born supernova twice, the non-linearity of reality, two words, evolved rhinos fighting for the rights of beauty to be unconditioned, God's loudest silence...
