When the Soundcloud (automatically) started to play this fantastic moment of poetry, I was thinking before checking out that I was listening to a Jon Hassell's peace of music. Jon Hassell inspired so much people, and this track sounds like a consequence of this inspiration. We're really travelling, with such fidelity, in the 5th world music, with this track. Absolutely fantastic, and real travel. Big up!!

beautiful, reminds me a lot of nils Peter molvaer's khmer

Son Of Chi & Arthur Flink - Part Two
The Fifth World Recordings [AI-32 / Astral Industries]

Produced by Hanyo van Oosterom & Arthur Flink
Mastered by Noel Summerville
Artwork by Theo Ellsworth
Released by Astral Industries from London, UK
Release Date : October 21st. 2022
Format - Vinyl & Digital

AI-32 signals the arrival of ‘The Fifth World Recordings’, by Son of Chi (Hanyo van Oosterom) and long-term collaborator Arthur Flink. A tribute to the late Jon Hassell, who passed away in 2021, the album connects a deep running thread that goes back to the source of Chi project. Carrying on from where Hassell left off, the album takes inspiration and references from his Fourth World music concept and the ancient Hopi tradition of Native America. Illuminating the subliminal space of the arising Fifth World, Son of Chi pays respects to an inimitable force in contemporary music.

Hassell’s ‘Dream Theory in Malaya’ forms a touchstone to Hanyo van Oosterom’s musical journey, which soundtracked long, deep and reflective periods living in the cave of the Kallikatsou (Patmos, Greece) back in the early 80s. This period resulted in Hanyo’s track as Chi - ‘Hopi’ - in 1984. Hanyo met Hassell shortly after in 1987 at his “The Surgeon in the Nightsky” concert in Rotterdam - it wasn’t until twenty years later that Hanyo invited him for two magic nights of “Instant Composing Sessions” with the Numoonlab Orchestra (with a host of other artists) at the LantarenVenster, the very same stage where Hassell had performed in 1987 and also where Chi did their first live performance.

Dreamful, mysterious, prophetic, the Fifth World Recordings features the quiet yet elaborate sound of Chi awash with rich instrumentation, field recordings, and old stories by the firelight. Sketches were created with drones, loops, and soundscapes, with which Arthur Flink (also a member of the Numoonlab Orchestra) jammed on trumpet. Channelling Hassell’s idiosyncratic style, floating melodies and lyrical improvisations are parsed into the mix, where Hanyo has processed and manipulated the recordings, also referencing Hassell’s exotic scales and unique harmonics.

Additionally, the wah Bamboo flute at the closing piece is an homage to the works of Chi co-founder Jacobus Derwort (1952-2019). For this piece Hanyo used his first bamboo flute he made at the cave of the Kallikatsou in 1984. Arthur Flink answers in counterpoint with the wah trumpet, almost like the intuitive communication of the nightbirds...

Live sketches for a Son Of Chi live set in Athens, November 16, 17th 2024.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DBTh9jxNTNy  

A mix of edited Son Of Chi tracks and new works in progress, including upcoming collabs with Kain The Poet, Jim Tetlow, Radboud Mens, Daniel Danieli, Clara Brea & Menhir, Omar Ka, Kaiyumi and more.

Son Of Chi: I always make live sketches. This time for my performance in Athens (scroll down for more info). Not sure if I will stick to them, but they give the right impression of the atmosphere i would like to create. The opening words by Kain The Poet reflect the times we live in and the challenges we are facing. I will end with a piece from “The Fifth World Recordings”.  

According to the Hopi prophecies we are now living in the transition years, moving from the fourth world into the fifth world. As they say: “times of earthquakes, floodings, fires, pandemics and wars”. The Hopi believe that in this period you need to be careful where you stay, who you stay with and what you do. Keep practising the holy rituals. Respect nature, the earth, the universe and be good to your fellowmen and all living creatures.

As the Hopi say the fifth world  “represents a spiritual awakening, an evolution in understanding the interconnectedness of all beings and the universe”. We are in the middle of this transition. All we can do is stick to our rituals.

Or as Hazrat Inayat Khan says: “The further we advance, the more difficult and the more important becomes our part in the symphony of life. The more conscious we are of this responsibility, the more efficient we become in accomplishing our task”.
