RANTA, MICHAEL - YUEN SHAN (CD)

"16 track composition for pre recorded sounds and live percussion performed by Michael Ranta (entirely different work from the Yuen Shan CD released in 2005). All material previously unreleased. CD version: 1 CD in gatefold cardboard wallet with 12 page booklet. Edition of 500 copies Yuen Shan (Round Mountain in Chinese) was conceived in 1972 and finalized in 2014. It's a musical cosmogony in four cycles based on different levels of ancient Asian spiritual principles and mechanisms. A major work in Ranta's oeuvre (his first solo release in almost 25 years), highly personal and spiritual." (label info)
