Erwan Keravec - There Will Be No Miracles Here [Buda Musique]

Scheduled for release via the Buda Musique label on October 16th, 2k26 is "There Will be No Miracles Here", the latest full length album outing by composer Erwan Keravec who has been on a trajectory of taking bagpipe playing out of its original traditional context for almost two decades. For this most recent album, an extended one track piece spanning approximately 48 minutes, Erwan Keravec employs a total of seven bagpipe players accompanied by three additional basin players which create a sonic real life translation of the title of the album and piece - near static drones in layers, with an almost electric quality in terms of their steady almost mid-range buzz, an omni-futurist omni-presence evoking memories of legendary sci-fi classics like "The Omega Strain" and the general perception of space and space-related technology at the time, the cold, only minimally varying frequencies of high voltage circuits and advanced technology providing a steady background hum for travels through the intergalactic vastness with subtle, ever intensifying additions leading into the least distressing crescendo ever imaginable despite providing an ever thickening maelstrom of sound which rather suddenly starts to decay and fade off into eternity. This... is a highly recommended trip into the inner mindsphere. Great stuff.
