auch als Komponist tätigen spirituellen Lehrer und Autor G.I. Gurdjieff, dessen Signatur v.a. auf der zweiten Seite deutlich zu spüren ist, verwendete Arutiunian ein Neuneck oder Enneagramm als Partitur. Über den Musiker und seine Arbeit heißt es im Begleittext: “The Armenian-Lithuanian artist and composer uses hybrid forms of music, focusing on sonic vernaculars, hypnotic musical forms, and aural cosmologies. Arutiunian is known to work with installations, sound objects, and time-based collaborations with ensembles and performers. The piece on this record was written for two musicians, a retuned piano and analogue electronics, and it borrows an enneagram as its score—the world-ordering model introducedby the controversial Armenian-Greek mystic and composer G.I. Gurdjieff. The result is an album that is both aesthetically and spiritually intoxicating—music of the spheres, at once reminiscent of the masterpieces of minimal music and improvised, if not stochastic music”. Das Album erscheint auf 300 silberfarbenen Vinyl-Scheiben und digital.
