Recursive Awakening

This track was created in response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge:

"fog dissolves to rain
- cool breezes clear the vista,
showing cloud-topped hills"

Casually picked up my 2.4 shakuhachi made by Perry Yung and was playing a few tones when I realized my freestanding pianoharp was resonating like crazy. Thus this little experiment. Headphones or good monitors to hear the subtle resonance.

Ajna is the enigmatic project of Chris F from New York and has been active since 2008. This project is mainly inspired by the supernatural, surrealism, esotericism, the collective unconscious, nature and antiquity. Ajna's sound has often been described as hauntingly beautiful, otherworldly, mysterious, nightmarish, etc…ranging from obscure dark ambient soundscapes to deep isolationist drone with electro-acoustic and industrial elements. The artist is currently affiliated with the Cyclic Law and Winter-Light labels.
