Description
===========
David Parsons revisits gterma with a new album which was completed in 2015.
Although perhaps mainly known for his panoramic and almost cinematic Himalayan
soundworlds, on Puja he continues his more recent tradition of travelling the
inner horizon. And in so doing, he also invites us listeners to undertake
similar journeys of our own. Puja is a mysterious and magic constellation,
fuelled by the spirit and discipline of the age old Asian cultures and
philosophies.

One of the most respected doyens and original voices within the ambient drone
scene returns in a jaw-dropping condition!!!
That's "Puja" by New Zealander David Parsons, who has found his new home after three decades with Arizonian label Fortuna Records/Celestial Harmonies on sympathetic Swedish label gterma, where he debuted during 2013 with "Stupa" album. I have been always deeply fascinated by David Parsons ability to transform his long exploratory experiences into absolutely breathtaking sonic tapestries, meticulously transporting each listener into thrillingly enigmatic Middle and Far East realms. "Puja", which is in Hinduism a religious ritual, is certainly no exception!!! Released during March 2016 in standard jewel case with 8-panel front insert featuring photographs of Hindu and Buddhist rites by David's
wife Kay Parsons as well as by
gterma's driving force Johan Rehn, who is credited for additional design. As usual, the mastering duties were given to A.P aka Anders Peterson of GS Mastering & Post.
miss this thrillingly listening experience!!! 12 minute long closer
won't beat about the bush, a grand finale taking its predecessor into even more mysterious level, by bridging buzzing expanses, tiding blankets, meditative meridians and mesmeric frog symphony, afterwards inconspicuously metamorphosing into warmly crescendoing and diminuendoing picturesque grasslands, holding unmistakable signatures of its crafted originator.
"Puja" is no one else but David Parsons!!! Since "Stupa" we have been waiting for more than two years, but the wait was certainly worth, because as mentioned in the opening sentences, David Parsons is back at the very top of his grippingly peculiar soundcarving. I don't
know exactly
David's age, but I guess he might be around 71 years old now, so I take my hat off to him for such wonderful, all-intensive 74-minute album!!! No matter if fading away and traversing colossal snow-capped peaks, majestic isolated monasteries, alpine forests, glacier fed rivers, pilgrimage sites, nomadic panoramas or sun-bathed green valleys, the journey is always monumentally immersing, breathtakingly authentic and fascinatingly ethnographic!!! Thank you, deep respect and keep on going, Maestro, we can't
wait for your future, uniquely scented offerings!!! And huge kudos to Johan for
taking this Grandmaster under gterma's wings few years ago!!!
