Yom
Cosmogonia
With COSMOGONIA, Yom delivers a high-wire act: an entire album based on circular breathing, recorded in one take, without any overdubs, the fruit of a 15 year technical obsession. Here, Yom tackles the impossible for a wind instrument: polyphony. Thanks to the technique of continuous breathing, he generates uninterrupted streams of notes. The speed of execution is such that the arpeggios overlap to create phantom "chords." This is not a melody, it's a wall of sound, a mental trance akin to organic techno, a surprising encounter between jazz and ambient music.
