The review 'Buzzin' Sound' or #buzz presents you this Saturday a truly special album by a certainly renowned and internationally recognized author. Thanks once again to @[ALFAMA] for guiding us through these new sound dimensions.

David Shea - Rituals (2014).

In the same days that Brian Eno is recording an album in collaboration with young pianist Tom Rogerson ('Finding Shore', Dead Oceans), I literally accompany you in listening to the album of this composer and pianist, a student of Morton Feldman and a long-time collaborator of John Zorn. The album is titled 'Rituals' (Room40) and was released in September 2014. Composed and recorded in Melbourne over five years during his stay in Australia, the album embarks on a genuine journey through traditional ritual music, focusing on ancient religious rites such as those of Buddhist and Taoist worship. The compositions, based on a certain minimalism, aim to practically immerse the author within sound experiences according to concepts expressed in the field of kinematics combined with sound, suggesting that it is the waves generated by different types of sounds that define the geometries of movement and the motion of bodies. A work of minimal neoclassical music with strongly evocative traits that, with style and elegance, holds a certain expressive power that draws the listener into a state of contemplation and meditative peace.
