ALONE IN THE HOLLOW GARDEN

Conceived in the spring of 2013 as a Tanz Ohne Musik side-project, Alone In The Hollow Garden represents a revival of Dan Serbanescu's former ritual ambient aesthetics which began to manifest in the middle of the 90's, this time aided live at a visual level by Luna Video Artist's hypnotic and timeless imagery.

Alone In The Hollow Garden's sound alchemy arises as the presence of the primitive transcendental purity of vibration mixed with the expressive possibilities of "modern" technology. The vibrational exuberance of traditional acoustic sources including wind, percussion, string and ritual instruments is merged with a wide spectrum of analogue and modular synthesizers and with a series of self built piezo based experimental devices, all linked by the esoteric power of voice and chanting.

Alone In The Hollow Garden is meant to be a reminder of the creative power of the all encompassing cosmic consciousness transmitted through sound and vibration, being at the same time an offering which can support the listener in ritual, contemplative or meditative states or practices.
