3 stars Spirals Of Time has been recorded back in 1997 in an old farmhouse in Assisi (Central Italy). This album is the quintessential and the most representative effort from G Gasparetti. The performance provides an imaginative trip through the magical principles of traditional-sacred music from the east and drone ambient electronic experiments. Consequently the content is focused on extended lienar phrases, static-amorphous droning textures. The slow organic movements of sounds seem to relax the bodily tension, they grow up into a bodily performance. The instrumentation reaches mantric like proportions. The subject and the object are like intertwined in a common ritual due to the openness of the musical-metaphorical "shamanism" relation. Spirals of time develops an interesting approach on bodily dialogue in the symbolical musical field. However for current listeners can conceived this one as boring meditative voyage with too much low transtensity, with an innacurate protensity for usual listens. Others can perceive a medium of nonverbal communication. This album can also ravish fans of established ambient dronescapes released by Steve Roach, Alio Die, Vidna Obmana...
