about

Toztizok Zoundz #1312

Dagora come back together to collaborate on this new release: 70 minutes of ambient drone, with artwork channelling the free spirit of Prince.

Percussionist Stevus fills the first side with 35 minutes of hypnotic cymbal wash, all acoustic and without effects. He works the cymbal to bring out the beauty and complexity of its sound, whispering to its stillness whilst caressing it's form to create resonance upon resonance. Imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.

Side two sees PQ manipulate Stevus's recording. Through his wide range of machines, the circuit bending wizard, chews up the drone input and spits it out re-imagined. The spirit remains but the body is transformed. His inexplicable contraptions metamorphose the subject into a new nebulous form, somewhat warm, distorted, amniotic and caring. Like Han Solo slicing open the belly of his dead tauntaun and stuffing Luke in to warm him up and save his life.

Artwork is by the third long-term member of Dagora, Rojoe, a cut and paste collage made on the back of Prince's Honda Hawk or Billy's Panhead, we'll never know, he was going too fast to see. His "live to ride" leather vest the only hint that it was him, his humming of Blaze Foley songs filling the air as he sped away a cloud of dust suggesting he headed east.

Now crack a 40, pour a sip out for the homies, and remember ACAB!

Bonus Track Side C- DagorUO

Live from the red planet the two remaining aural members of dagora battle the harshest of atmospheres to create this artefact of their collaboration. Stevus chiming away on his cymbal whilst PQ taking the input for his MS20 and fucking that shit up. Like the desert winds it calmly washes over you whilst warning of the storm to come. Rojoe on the other hand is hanging around giving stick and pokes if anyone wants a smiley face on their finger, to remind them that life isn't so bad

about

Dagora Amsterdam, Netherlands

born from monkeys, live like apes.

Two drummers and one madman with a suitcase of self made electrical goods. Varying from the quiet bells and echoed vocals of the mountain dreamers to the noisy interference of the satellites in the sky’s, cymbal wash, circuit bent toys, snare drums, leads and sockets, clicks and thuds all co-exist, sometimes fighting, in this our world of sound. ... more
