Tip! "With « A Bright Sun Shining Down Through All The Opaque & Toxic Layers Of The Underground », Tzii attempts a breakthrough in opacity. Close to emotional ambient, sometimes with slight touches of medieval trad («muxu» means kisses in Basque) and close to raw and mineral materials, Tzii rubs on airy atmospheres, in warm colors, looking for an altered state, almost gaseous.
Muffled harmonies, melodious drone, reverb melodies, modulated distorted voices from elsewhere sounding like liberating mantras, the tones come to tickle perceptions as pleasant bites. Contemplative layers, echoes, frictions, elements that wrinkle with the wind.... A mystical hallucinatory atmosphere emerges, like a sonic acupuncture, and a relief towards a feeling of comfort. Sometimes heavier sounds, muffled bass, an epic side that cuts through the vaporous air. Glittering blades. Forged metal. Consciousness moving towards variations, towards new perceptions. Brass instruments, screams, tinkling, distorted wind instruments like slow lamentations at the end of a misty night, city cries that recall the bustle... And closer, a strange train is to be taken en route ,towards another shore.
A more mental percussive side comes to enchant the mind, a rite in progress : incantations as invitations to explore the frenetic beats of the pulse of living in a bare environment. Some deformed archives call the old world always present, a background from which one can detach, or that one can appropriate, to change its codes. Finally, whispers in a cathedral celebrated by party-goers* at dawn, calling for communion with other voices. The light through the stained glass. A Dario Argento atmosphere for lovers hesitating between grief or absolute happiness...
«A Bright Sun Shining Down Through All The Opaque & Toxic Layers Of The Underground», it’s like living the mental stages of an acid-free evening, starting from the nocturnal party with the beloved people, up to the starry night that melds, to see a throbbing and hopeful dawn rise on a life-size landscape.
“Don’t be scared, there are must beautiful things in this chaos”... Tzii guides us to a benevolent and colorful refuge, to rest the soul of solicitations. In this ethereal parallel space, perhaps ephemeral? , everything is calm at dawn, the sun of the future shines timidly. “And everyone is happy now.” PS: Masterful feat with Radio Hito to be celebrated in a field around a crackling fire!" - Margot Coursaget
