ハープ、ピアノ、ビブラフォン、チェロによる流麗な調べが、懐かしい川の風景を描く。米Mu-Psychからの一作、川面に映るインナー・ランドスケープ(情景・心象風景)をテーマにしたザヴィザヴァ・オーケストラ「Rivers Of Light」は、緩やかな電子音と控えめなアコースティック楽器によるニューエイジ音楽として類型的なスタイルですが、空間を飛び交うコスミックな電子音と、やわらかに広がる高揚感/多幸感にあふれたアンビエンスは「30.7.94 Live」を思い起こさせます。
Without coming back the eternal debate related to the saying “it was better before”, some little things still have to be reminded. As an example, in the overcrowded recent music boom, when you try to constantly follow the new masses of releases, it gets hard to review the classical tunes to find rare beauties from the times before we started understanding musical sweetness. From the time I heard this magical record I knew I had to introduce you to Zavijava Orchestra and Rivers Of The Light. Their wonderful ep on label Mu-Psych Music, a division of Futurehealth the world leader in psychological health, biological retroaction and spirit technologies. Zavijava is a great blend of the two musicians Charles Townsend and Christopher Faris. The list of instruments they use includes the famous Juno-60 , the Yamaha DX7, Oberheim Xpander, the Ob-8, along with the Oberheim DSX as well as the Ensoniq Mirage. An acoustic piano, harp, double bass, violin and other “real” stuff were also used, to produce a very harmonic album, fueled with a creativity very hard to find nowadays.
