This new release from Ugasanie is based upon an incident happened in Tunguska's meteorite impact site. The musical structure seems to evoke a sort of movie as, above the drone, a bunch of samples are used to generate this sense of narrative that borns from recognizable sounds like water dripping or stone falling.
'Swamps of Tunguska' opens this release with a track based on a soundscape made out of various samples from perhaps field recordings. 'The Taiga' uses two main drones to create a recognizable frame. 'Epicenter' and 'Lonely Winter Hut' are almost classic dark ambient tracks based upon layers of drones and some sparse samples in the foreground. 'The Phenomenon' starts quietly and ends in a noisy way mixing the texture and the samples in a dialectic way. So 'Through the Woods' uses the field recordings in the first part and the drones in the second one which are also the base for 'Last Night' while 'Abandoned Base' is an abstract track developed from the resonance of the samples. 'Attempt to Contact' feature distant radio voices from a sci-fi movie, or so it seems. 'The Bodies under the Snow' closes this release with an handful of drone in sequence.
Even in a codified, and overtly recognizable, musical structure the development of sound spectrum is so carefully constructed to give the sensation to see a sort of movie without images. It's worth a listen for all fans of the genre.
