Louise Landes Levi, Timo van Luijk, Bart De Paepe – Kami
This is my first rip with the tiny suitcase turntable I had asked for help about. I somehow managed to reduce the noise/clipping so I would ask you to leave some feedback on the sound. Yes, it's definitely not superb, but I guess it's a little bit more than passable. What do you think? A big thanks to badgerstump, wankerd, and Samuel for their help and contact. This is another great collaboration between Louise Landes Levi, Bart De Paepe and Timo Van Luijk, this time moving a little bit away from sarangi-based psychedelic Indian classical music to more progressive and psychedelic rock territory, which is absolutely successful. 2019 lp on Bart De Paepe's Sloowax.

Louise Landes Levi - IKIRU or The Wanderer
Whereas the previous solo albums of experimental music priestess Louise Landes Levi (here and here) had a more soothing and meditative effect, this one sounds more dramatic and dystopian; this is due to the theme of the album being the monarch butterfly, a species whose numbers have greatly plummeted in recent years. There is an immense feeling of loss and mourning in Louise's wailing sarangi, while in Ira Cohen's poem she recites at the beginning of the second she juxtaposes the strength and resilience of a creature whose brain is the size of a pinhead but knows how to fly to Mexico against the imminent extinction brought about by human negligence. On this album she is accompanied by Bart DePaepe of Sloow Tapes (who had released From The Ming Oracle) and Timo Van Luijk (both members of Ilta Hämärä) who recorded/mixed the album and probably had a hand in the instrumentation too, as there are drones and instances of some sort of dulcimer apart from the sarangi. Proceeds from this album will go to a buttefly conservation center, and since this album is supremely beautiful, I strongly recommend you offer some sort of financial aid straight through Oaken Palace. 2018 LP on Oaken Palace.
