Moritz Von Oswald and Ordo Sakhna

A kind of intimate scrapbook of the startling collaboration between the techno maestro and this long-standing musical collective based in Bishkek, devoted to the roots music of Kyrgyzstan. Loose-leaved but balanced, lucid and intimate, it sets out from stunning a cappella and virtuosic komuz and kylak, mouth harp and tradi onal percussion: not field, but expert studio recordings, using marvellous vintage microphones, made over several days in Berlin. Further, a few of these are delicately treated by Moritz, using Reichian de-synced double-tracking, and discreet effects. Also two ten-minute dubs: a deadly, signature Berlin steppers, plus its version; and an echoing, mys cal drum session, recorded live on stage in Bishkek. And a side-long, dream-like summa on: the locomo ve, oceanic, clangorous, dread Facets. Ravishing, rooted, searching music; beautifully presented.
