Keijo - "50 Parts of Me"
Finland's Keijo is a wizard, and "50 Parts of Me," recorded on his 50th birthday, is chock full of alchemical mastery. From the piece's disorienting outset, he weaves webs of pure shimmer and smoke. Celestial drones lay the foundation for a symphony of throat singing, interstellar percussion,and bowed strings. These elements gestate and cohere, snaking through astral summits, and diving into almost menacing tonal enviornments. Finally, with the emergence of skronking brass and incantory mutterings, Keijo makes manifest the work's delirious and beautiful denouement. File under "transcendent." "50 Parts of Me" is disc three in Creeping Dawn Vol. 1 SOLD OUT home
