Aranos becomes surrounded by hermits

Aranos continues his surreal and bizarre musical progression with a record of all new material, fashioned from disjointed choirs, bowed gongs, swinging pianos, and a whole lot of wood. Surrounded By Hermits is encased in a burlap-lined wooden case hand-made by Aranos himself and is available directly through his web site. MP3s are available for curious, but timid listeners.

Surrounded By Hermits (Pieros 014CD)

New electro-acoustic piece divided into 16 sections crisscrossing echoes of varied genres. Starts with a section built on a bowed chinese gong, which is modified by a waw-waw pedal and moves into cluster chords of conch-shells and flugal horns. String ensembles augmented by 20 voices randomly reciting Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream are featured along with a honky tonk piano that plays surreal dream motifs.

You get the idea. No? Have a listen than. Comes in an individually hand-made wood and hessian case with a small woodcut print.
