Ant Zen Act CD 212 Commentaire

packaging: large black heavy-cardboard box w/ silver print inlay and postcards limited edition of 600 copies the hegira trilogy (1997-2001) interest in this trilogy has not declined even though the last musical note of the hegira trilogy was made almost 6 years ago and the tracks from this period have not been played live in a very long time. perhaps it is because all three releases were extremely limited or perhaps it is because people want to know the origins of this morn' omina. for whatever reason, listeners now have a chance to get acquainted with the musical history of this morn' omina. it all started after a turbulent and extremely hot summer night (no sleep for days because of the heat) in 1996. this morn' omina was born the next day - the project title referred to that specific moment in time ("the morning of omens/portents"). the search for a new 'language' began shortly afterward - a language that consisted of nothing more than an md-player (used as a sampler!), tape deck, bass guitar and effect pedals, lowgrade drumpads (noisy!), a gm module and a 4-track cassette recorder). 1996 saw the production of three tape recordings which attracted the attention of magthea (hybryds) and this resulted in a compilation appearance (daft records). the first cd was released on old europa cafe in 1997 (nezeru enti sebauem neterxertet). the central theme was clear from the first recording session - i.e. 'hegira' also known as 'diaspora'. the never ending search for a 'new land' and a 'new language'. the concept of a trilogy was embraced and the writings of d. simmons, crowley and mythological/religious themes would eventually influence the work. however, no one ever expected the trilogy to be finished (including myself) - especially when you consider the chaos that surrounded the process. yes, these were the days of the first computer based sequencers and while promising these programs delivered nothing more than unwanted tempo changes and crashes - which resulted in more sleepless nights (nights in which recovering lost data was the priority). em sauf haa-heru (originally released on horus cyclic daemon) was the final result of this painstaking process and it is perhaps still one of my personal favourites. nevertheless, 'working' on a tmo track never felt like 'work' (and it still doesn't!) - it all flowed naturally from an idea/concept/theme to a piece of music. also in this period (frustrating technology was the impediment of creativity) a soundscape was made ("realtime old skool style") called 'the future has taken root in the present'. this was released after 'taiu' on tantric harmonies. a much needed break was needed and after a visit to the party island of ibiza, work on 'taiu' started (released in 2001 on horus cyclic daemon). i returned with a head full of fresh ideas and 'taiu' laid the basis for the later tmo-style. it was also the first time there was access to a real studio and new technologies that did not deter the creative mind. it all came together and the 'new land' (='taiu') / 'new language' was found. so here it is. a fully re-edited, remixed and re-mastered version of 'the hegira trilogy'. may you enjoy listening to it as much as i did while working on the re-release. m.goedrijk winter 2007 herewith you will find the entire hegira trilogy, presented in a beautiful boxset. when the original albums were initially released, they only caught the attention from a few insiders; now you have the opportunity to listen to all three already deleted single albums at once, showing the concept of the trilogy which took years to create, but also the progression of the outstanding belgian project. a proof that all musical characters of t.m.o. were already present right from the beginning: ritualistic ambience, tribal beats and catching samples - a powerful symbiosis of dark electro structures and sacred-ritual trance atmospheres. so enjoy the upgraded version of this morn' ominas early years!
