• DARJA KAZIMIRA & ZURA MAKHARADZE - 'Songs From An Obscure Matriarchal Tribe' CD

A tribal / ethno-ritual heaviness permeates this release, thanks to a wide variety of percussion including gongs, bones, metal and wood, along with eerie vocals.  This is an improvisational cycle recorded by musicians Darja Kazimira and Zura Makharadze during the filming of the experimental, analogue film "Rue de la Lune" by the Irish director Juana Robles, dedicated to the comprehension of one matriarchal generation, embraced by the tendency of painful transformation and self-absorption, striving throughout the performance to get out of these boundaries, to heal and be reborn.

All the music written for the film was created during the live performance documented by the director in Tbilisi, in the studio house where the authors of this cycle live and work. The musicians were also characters, performing a bodily performance that unfolded on the ruins of the Karmir monastery. The six artists represent in Rue de la Lune - the Healer, the Widow, the Lover, the Jester and the Artist in a female household out of space and time going through dreamlike healing processes in desperate attempts to liberate themselves from subconscious dynamics that span multiple generations.

"By mixing together creative vocalism, electroacoustic improvisation, and Eastern ethnic music influences, they have created an album that sounds genuinely unique and is jaw-droppingly good. This is an album that will transport you to another time and place, as it soothes and disturbs in equal measure. Incredible" (This Is Darkness).
