Pagan & Urban by Pavel Ambiont

A new mini-album of Pavel Ambiont is about the relations and tensions between culture & nature, linear & cyclic times, concrete & wood – urban and pagan. ‘Pagan’ is used here in its original meaning – rural and ‘keeping the old ways’ – as opposed to the urban. This is music of a city-dweller whose soul belongs to his native village.

“There’s no techno on this release - but mostly broken and stepping rhythms, echoes, flute and mouth harp recorded on a cheap webcam. ‘These are the tracks that suddenly emerge when i want to construct another techno banger – but the sounds decide to assemble how they like.” – says Pavel.
