about

In the words of jarguna

I’ve been wanting to make an album like this for some time. The sound searches for pure drones, introspective textures, absent from time and space, recall when I was looking for these sounds with my first synthesizer (Korg M1), around 1993. The biggest evolution has certainly been the experience during many productions, this is the 48th, but over the years I have also enriched my instrumentation, and since 2014 I have started assembling my modular synthesizer. These sounds come above all from this instrument, research but also spontaneity, a free flow of introspective energy, textures that try to make me enter a cathartic, meditative mood, at times light, suspended, floating, at other times, abysmal, material, dark and restless.

Some tracks of the album make a clear reference to some psycho-active substances, more romantically called entheogens. It is a story almost as old as man, to the point that some cultures have developed behind some of these substances, even becoming sacred for some cults, transforming the perception of reality and hypothesizing structures or entity of other dimensions. The deception of the senses has always been one of my favourite themes, an impudent art that seeks by all means to make people understand that man interfaces with the world only and thanks to his sense organs, but what if these organs were altered, like a radio picking up other frequencies?

REVIEWS

This Is The Darkness
The latest release on the wonderful Reverse Alignment label is this impressive dark ambient album from jarguna. The music here is introspective, multi-textured, and meditative – with dark ambient soundscapes and evolving drones working together to create an album that is light and positive in places, dark and despairing in others. Absolutely sublime.

Marco Billi, aka jarguna, born in Florence (1973), is a constant traveller. He visited Nepal, China, India, Indonesia, and in 2001, took a trip of research along the Amazon. He meets the local people and engages in a study of their music-symbolic rituals and shamanic medicine, studies the characteristics and performs direct and indirect experiences through rituals and meditations. Going through all these experiences, he understands how the simplest sounds as well as complex music structures, may play a beneficial and therapeutic role. Agreements and frequencies, may intervene by acting on the entire body, involving mind and body, and also acting on the subtler planes. The relationship between music and the environment remains focused in the soul of jarguna.
