Jorge Mantas, under his Druuna Jaguar moniker, returns with a new opus devoted to drone meditations and beyond: “En Transi | For Hammond Organ, Arp 2600 Synthesizer And Cello”!
Entering the album as a neophyte, a deep descent awaits into a slowly evolving spectral composition for solo Hammond organ. Beneath its apparent simplicity, the attentive listening reveals a hypnotic state of austere beauty. Follows a poem for multi layered cello, prolonging the initial somber tone, but creating more dynamic edges through its acoustic contortions. The third piece is dedicated to the beloved ARP 2600 synthesizer, proposing a constant flux of delicate electronic events, within the general introspective mood. In the final composition, the organ conjures the principle of eternal return: the serpent bites its tail and the circle is closed – we are back to the primeval state of permanent anxiety. The end is the beginning is the eternal creation of beauty and despair.
