Also, check out ' Nether-Desert Iris' and ' Obsidian Pyramid' from the same album.ДЄrktau Eos have a website. I haven't listened to this one as often as Ai Ma Ra, but it does seem like a better entry point - more appropriate for different moods. They do some of the same kind of thing, but with more electronic noise and stringed instruments. The earlier Mirrorion puts 17 tracks on a single disc. 'A Banquet for Ghosts' from Mirrorion (2006) Quality stuff! I think some are live recordings from a London performance, but a lot of it sounds like live performance in a hillside cave. So, it ends up being two discs of rumbling drones, primitive rhythms, and moaning chants. Apparently made with a minimum of electronics, but lots of temple bells and bone horns - the kind of ritualistic instruments the original rituals might have used. That's the latest one, and it's a 2xCD set of wind-rustled forest spirits and esoteric cave druid spells.

'Retrocession into the Astrolith' from Ai Ma Ra (2009) As their Myspace page tells it, they are influenced by 'the songs taught to us by bones and stars.' They sound like 'a gnarled old tree telling you of worlds beyond, roots nestled in the constellations above and branches flowering in vaulted tombs below.' I once got a 2009 live recording of 'The Explosion of Hermit Fire' that's already expired and gone.ДЄrktau Eos is another thing altogether, and that is ritual ambient. There's also (while it lasts) ' The Mercury Drinker' from Finnish radio's Avaruusromua 20 vuotta special.

ZoГ¤t-Aon pretty regularly posts up free downloads too, but links are often temporary so get 'em now! At the Z-A homepage, you can download this ' Representational Mix' (right-click Save As.) - a single 12-minute MP3. Album-length explorations of inner/outer space require some groundwork preparation, that kind of thing. You can also check out the opening track, ' Gate of All Directions.' As with all beginnings here, things take their time to get moving - it's real gradual. ZoГ¤t-Aon's journey is deep into the void, and it can be as harsh and dissonant as drifty and floating. Since I obviously liked it, I decided to get 2nd album, from the very next year, The Triplex Bestial. 'Bestial Waves' from The Triplex Bestial (2006) Sounds like the apocalypse, or the universe being reborn. A wormhole-tourism audio-pamphlet of alien topography, with field recordings of the fourth-dimensional, sun-eating birds of Arkh'torus XIV-b. Occasional Ligeti-storms of Monolith noise-burst occlusion. The machine-cycle-hum could be from spacecraft or the galactic axis.

Whereas that project concerned the earthly, ZoГ¤t-Aon's terrain is the hyperverse. Here's what I said: Somehow vaguely related to Somnivore (#4), maybe that's how I found them. ZoГ¤t-Aon is a one-man crew from Lapland, and I really liked his first album Star Autopsy ( #3, Drone/Ambient 2005). Might as well start at the beginning (for me), which fortunately is on the more cosmic, less ritual end of the Hypnox aural spectrum. 'Infra-Saturn'/'Exo' from Star Autopsy (2005)

Which is bad news for me, not being much of a music writer. Like those, the true ritual stuff is meant to be approached as an all-encompassing, large-scale whole. Along with William Basinski's Disintegration Loops (2002) and the music of Morton Feldman, the Finnish ritual ambience from the Aural Hypnox label is probably the least suited for YouTube consumption.
