Ashan’s latest album ‘Transfigurations’ is the follow-up to last year’s ‘Far Drift Afield’. Another set of unguided excursions to proposed realms of being. The materials are gathered and made porous enough to suggest their joining. They are honed, stretched, and softened to resemble likeness and uniform origin. They are organized and set into motions of intricate repetition, complex beyond the imaginings or cares of the designer. There is an unseen hand strumming and performing with this new instrument. Life is breathed into the notes and frequencies and it feels like song. The designer approves of the expression and calls it music. It is a generic term, but universal enough to propose a mode of interaction. Out now on Inner Islands.
