These pieces that comprise his 26th album weave a tribal percussive perspective into his ethno-organic-ambient sound, drifting like a dream into his well loved drone-electronic soundscapes. The archetype becomes a symbol, the symbol becomes a ritual, the ritual becomes sound. A pulsating, primitive journey is the battle of a man in front of masked beings, in truth, only the mirror.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nJarguna says:<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nAfter my first album has passed another 25 and despite this being the 26th, it is a project that dates back to 1997, so the first of all, afterall, even before my debut, Introspective Course. The album describes an interior path that tries to tell the boundaries between us and the archetypes. The archetype becomes a symbol, the symbol becomes a ritual, the ritual becomes sound. The traces follow each other with some archetypes, beginning with Animus Anima, that is the female side that is in the man and the male side that is in the woman. There is also the Uroboro famous symbol of the snake (or dragon) that bites its tail, the meaning of cyclicity, death and rebirth; things transmute but do not cease to exist. Percussions are a fundamental basis of this album, in the ritual of the drum I want to disrupt the mental frame of preconceptions, conditioning and exposing the ego, a battle between fear and ecstasy. In this, I was inspired by a Japanese artist, Tomo Kuwahara of the band Vasilisk, that was my reference throughout the 90s to electronic ritual music. The percussive sequence evolves from uncertainty, sobbing, as if it does not know a precise direction, hindered by ethereal suspensions, until it falls into obsessive, overbearing, repeating plots, cadenced by an adrenaline atmosphere. A pulsating, primitive journey is the battle of a man in front of masked beings, in truth, only the mirror. Another inspiring muse is the lands and the peoples of where I work, especially in West Africa, like Burkina Faso, where the percussion and the song narrations are still a cornerstone of artistic communication.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nHe continues<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nI started my soundpath in the early nineties with simple synthesizers, in search of drones to assist meditation. Only after a trip to the Amazon in 2000 did I began to appreciate ritual music, ceremonial, always heard and deepened. With my first album (released in 2006), I began a personal journey, a magical-spiritual exploration. I do not follow any religion, dogmas, or philosophies (I feel very close Taoism) but I am intrinsically fascinated, especially I wonder what man is looking for in all of this. Over time I put aside rhythms, and as album followed album, it is only in 2018 that I picked up a very old work, started in 1997, let\u2019s say the first time I worked on music. Even if from that date now only the title remains, Archetypes.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nAn album that has a theme and a precise path, to understand what archetypes are, deeply linked to symbols, rituals and conditionings. The archetypes are transmuted into symbols, the symbols lead to the ritual and the ritual becomes sound, with this thought I have posited the idea that through the sound you can also reach an archetype, recognize it and become aware of it. You can get rid of your mental grid only if you know how to deal with what you have inside, especially fear.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nThe album begins with the double face of the first archetype, \u201cAnimus Anima,\u201d that is, the feminine inside the man and the masculine inside the woman (a vision also of Taoism), well described by the psychoanalyst C.G. Jung.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nThe second track, \u201cThousand Facets of a Memory,\u201d represents the distorted vision that is generated through all the imposed conditioning and only in some moments, your true self, discovered between the experiences of life. experiences often made of pains that fortify and awaken your conscience.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nIn \u201cDream Frog,\u201d the third track, consciousness falls into sleep and you do not understand where reality or illusion is anymore. I quote a short poem by ChuanZu that perfectly describes what I want to explain, \u2018I am an old man who sleeps and dreams of being a butterfly that flies, or, I am a butterfly that dreams of a man asleep\u2026\u2019 the truth can be hidden in many points of view. (see comment below)<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\n\u201cRitual Ground\u201d and \u201cOuroboros\u201d are closely linked tracks, the rhythm is the matrix of the trans that, unlike the first two tracks, the percussion is constant and cadenced, allowing to be transported on a binary without too many jolts. <\u2014 what do you mean by \u201ctrans\u201d ??? what do you mean by \u201ctransported on a binary\u201d ?? \n<BR><br \/>\n\u201cAtavic Fears\u201d is the apotheosis of percussive arrogance. In it, I want to express the fears we have inside with a hysterical ritual to evoke them and to exorcise them, through mysterious sounds made of wind instruments and harrowing screams of monkeys which I recorded in the forests of Guatemala.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nThe conclusion track, \u201cOut of Grid,\u201d is a long and completely rhythmless piece to express the exit of the patterns. Now we are an ethereal dimension, outside the matrix that took hold of us us. Rhythm, refrains can be interpreted as a mathematical function, and I do not want any reference here. and who knows &#8230;. maybe it&#8217;s better to go back where you are safe? \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nAlthough they teach us that the body is a machine with a simple motor and the DNA is a fixed fact that takes you from birth, experiences modify each of us in a subjective way and also transmit DNA. For some Atavic fear can be a trace from dance in the disco with a smile on the mouth, while for others it is distressing, as it might be distressing to go out of grid to a person used to patterns.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nThis is the experience that we carry inside, if you perceive uneasiness it is because you are restless. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/text-sharing-sexy.png\" alt=\"text-sharing-sexy\" \/> <div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00171%2F&t=jarguna%3A+Archetypes+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00171%2F&text=jarguna%3A+Archetypes+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00171%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARC00171.jpg&description=+\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00171%2F&title=jarguna%3A+Archetypes+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/archetypes\" TARGET=\"BLANK\"><IMG SRC=\"\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png\" width=\"129\"><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18943,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,50,135,556,49,732,103],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-18942","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-darkambient","product_cat-digital","product_cat-electronic","product_cat-jarguna","product_cat-space-rock-prog-rock","pa_artist-jarguna","pa_format-digital-only","pa_label-projekt-archive","pa_release-year-757","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-external","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18942"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=18942"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=18942"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=18942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
