The Meditations of Zera Yacob

by RA

brusalan Many of RA’s compositions feel deeply connected to the natural forces that govern our universe. This is not so surprising considering the connection between the generative nature of everything and the mathematical strings that tie it all together. The results are delicate like droplets exploding into piano notes or brutal like glaciers sliding across a cello string, all expertly orchestrated by RA. Favorite track: Withholding.

wc_helmets Grounded in RA's tradition style of mathematical conceptual generative music, the sound pallet here is more sophisticated than previous work. Lovely drones and piano give this artificial work a very human touch. Favorite track: Miracle.

Tichounko What a great way to celebrate the Piano Day! The Meditations are varied, from dark ambient pieces through synthy pads and Paulstrech-like drones to, my favourites, almost intimate ambient piano pieces sounding as if sequencer–controlled robots with four hands were playing patterns taken from etudes. Those short ostinatos, repeating themselves rhythmically over each other, make a soothing umbrella of tones like a propeller rotating so fast it provides perfect shade. Music & mathematics united. Favorite track: Twenty-Five Fathoms.

William Sanford A nice collection of Avant-Garde jazz. Favorite track: A Study of Zema.

Kevin McCoy Cinematic and subtlety dramatic.

Greg Nieuws Wonderful generative music. It's based on math, but that won't matter when you're listening because it sounds so great. Favorite track: Overcoming Sadness.

Renascent
by Acef Stripe

supported by 7 fans who also own “The Meditations of Zera Yacob”

Somehow the sadness in this peculiar EP brings a soothing confort to those who yearn our dearly departed and those cherished moments long gone that within remembrance we look upon with a smile of peace and serenity. The music is so warm and calm to even witness a sunset as the wind clears the leaves of our past. Beautiful in all means.🍂 josedenoche

Foxy
by Acef Stripe

supported by 7 fans who also own “The Meditations of Zera Yacob”

There is a little of everything that's great about electronic music in Ace Stripe's Foxy. 70's Komische recalls of Cluster, early Kraftewerk and Harmonia with atmospheric codas that recall wide open valleys as well as intimately shaded brooks. Every track is a either a resting spot or a high point along a ridge line, and you'll want to revisit each one again and again. fran3000
