A raw sonic document of exile, trauma, and transformation, this CD collects early works by Hungarian artist Sándor Vály, recorded between 1988 and 1992.

Created using homemade instruments, rudimentary electronics, and cassette gear in Budapest and Helsinki, these tracks trace a turbulent path through desertion, psychiatric confinement, political escape, and cultural rebirth. Inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead and personal upheaval, 'Bardo Tödol I-II', 'SoulDrum', and other recordings evoke a haunting inner journey between life, death, and renewal.

"A collection of vintage tracks which oscillate between grainy electronic harshness and ecstatic droning mantras. The result admits mesmeric moments with efficient psycho-acoustic effects and darkened sound ritualism" (Igloo Magazine).

Ltd x 100 copies (CD proper) in a 6-panel matt-laminate digipak.
