Inspired by the thousands of little rivers, streams and brooks on Bali. The sound of running water is everywhere. Behind the melody you'll hear one of them
After travelling to India, Indonesia, Thailand, Bali and Java in his younger days, Cybe released three cassette tapes. \"Tropisch Verlangen” now compiles a series of ten wonderful handcrafted analogue electronics from those tapes, sounding like lush fields of electronic wheat swaying in voltage controlled wind. It reads as a musical travelogue from a Dutch musician from Haarlem, who listened to way too much Gong and went searching for inspiration, sound recordings and instruments in the East in the early eighties.
Right up my alley, and hopefully yours too.
