Samana

The Spirit Moving EP

One of our writers discovered Samana, the stellar and pioneering duo from Wales, on Bandcamp a couple days ago. Their music is like elixir for the soul. Check them out.

"Samana was realised in the heart of a mountainous forest, during a year-long journey Rebecca Rose and Franklin Mockett undertook across the natural wilderness and distant cities of Eastern Europe. Lending their instincts solely to the road, and to the embodiment of freedom, their first creations were written in the vast isolation of nature and performed on the streets of the towns and villages they passed through. As two multi-disciplinary artists, Samana weave together their distinct poetry, music, striking photography and fine-art into one unique project."

"The spirit Moving EP is an interaction with the realms of the soul. All three songs are improvisations, being immediate impressions, lifted from the dialogue of the subconscious onto 1/4 inch tape. Carving out the contours of instinctive emotions and poetical intuition, they are conjured from the transcendental ritual of creation. Each song is a journey, a message, a philosophy, a deliberation, preserved and imprinted into its own sonic landscape. Together, they conjure an observation of the spirit moving through dimensions of time and existence, and into the search of being."
