mahbunzi nahgo pihndi: d ebando

Good Morning Tapes switch to vinyl for their latest. By Mahbunzi Nahgo Pihndi ('All the Healing Green Leaves of the Forest') aka Brian Close, one half of New York avant-garde duo Georgia: 'This record is an extension of a foray into trance ritual music. It is structured as a companion for film, meditation, vision seeking & sound rest. It is by nature a nature worship record, combining acoustic percussive improvisation, sensory foley, vocalized staccatos, and a specific brew of physical/metaphysical sound relations... mind hush/thought flush/spirit rush/sun rise. Inspired by an initiation ceremony of the Bwiti/Fang people of Gabon. This collection relays a fragmented branch of timings of this ceremony and proposes other paths for the sacred (Mougongo) instrument. Recoded + Restructured + Reflected as a time capsule, with fullest respect/blessings to breeze the Bwiti understandings through the current climate.
