Kutiman - Surface Currents

“Music for doing things”. That’s the intention Kutiman had for ‘Surface Currents’, his forthcoming album of ambient atmospherics and modular experiments. However, it’s beautiful sounds are deeply calming and refreshing, making this a perfect album to do nothing to, as well. Composed and recorded at his home in the middle of the Negev Desert, where the solace and tranquility of his surroundings allow him to truly stretch his creativity. Kutiman's quiet and solitary lifestyle imbues this project with an ethereal yet joyous aura.
Kutiman’s “compulsion to create”, as he puts it, is relentless. So much so, he made a promise to himself to deliver a number of projects over the course of the year, each one exploring a different side of his musical mind. The concept for ‘Surface Currents’ sprung into being whilst the producer and multi-disciplinary artist was working on visual clips and animation. His preferred music for such tasks being ambient, and classical Indian ragas, his “practical music”. Listening repeatedly to Terry Riley, William Basinski, and in particular the latter’s ‘Water Music’ album, he felt inspired to record his own ambient music. The experience of making this music was just as refreshing and therapeutic for Kutiman too, as it allowed for long and slow improvisations, exploring and delving into one instrument at a time.

Love it! you sampled my funky bongo playing many years ago (Through You)... it went viral. I heard it live on NPR radio while driving up the New Jersey Turnpike Highway. I had to pull over and listen. You've forged an impressive career. Congratulations! Isaac Gutwilik

The journey has been long & winding. From A/V Youtube funk collages to Middle Eastern psyche via soulful exotica, Kutiman returns again to the horizontal flatlands by knocking out three sprawling, minimal key tickling, spiritually blessed, New Age nourished, modular massaged ambient epics
