(2023) White Noise Shaman - I : The Dark Side of Untersberg

by Mathias Grassow & Heavenly Hermit

supported by

Nick Lowe Epic sounds from a tremendous shamanic palette of throat drones, drums, and swirling noise. I particularly love the tracks where the drums are used almost subliminally in the mix for texture rather than rhythm, dipping below the threshold of perception to become absorbed into the walls of the drone. And though it's a (solo?) interlude without noise or percussion, Perch Paths by Night is a flat-out masterpiece. Bring on vol. 2! Favorite track: Perch Paths by Night.

about

MATHIAS GRASSOW & HEAVENLY HERMIT proudly present :

Here we are following a long-cherished wish to set the magical Untersberg to music, which has a dark and a light side. We start here with one of a few dark sides and internalize the white noise of the mountain streams first of all .....
With relatively spontaneous support from the very talented
HEAVENLY HERMIT, a sound work worthy of the mountain spirit was created here.
This album does not want to entertain, nor to ensnare and please. It was born out of a deep feeling for the Untersberg, the most magical mountain in Europe with its many legends and stories.
The journey continues .....

One basis here in the first part is white noise from SOMA QUANTUM OCEAN, garnished with deep throat singing, shaman instruments and various synths and electronic equipment - basically a 140 minute journey in one long piece, divided into 13 parts.

Thanks to nature, which practically reproduces all frequency spectra with the sound of water. Here as a "canned" with the same effect - headphones recommended !

Please don't listen while driving !

Thanks to Evgeny Vladimirovich for his participation on this album.
Thanks to Marcel Trettin for mastering this album.
Thanks to Cornelia Kern for cover image and layout.

My very special thanks go to Mr. RAINER LIMPÖCK, the founder of the Alpine Shamanic Network, for his suggestions, guided tours and his deep knowledge of the mountain and the many stories around this place of power :
