He creates organic-ambient-electronic music in mandala-like hymns of richly enveloping ritual music.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Peter Thelen of <U>Expos\u00e9 Magazine<\/U> writes: Marco Billi released his first album using the name jarguna in 2006. (And) he has been one busy guy over the years. Since 2009 he\u2019s been averaging about four releases a year (some in collaboration with others), and the amazing thing is all of them are worthy of attention, especially for listeners who love ambient soundtracks. The sounds and textures that jarguna has assembled are soft, gentle, sparkling, and intensely beautiful, filled with lush tonal colors and powerful imagery, consisting of a mix of dreamy synthesizers, muted and processed acoustic instruments, found sounds, and studio magic as the glue that ties it all together. Yes, there is a lot of intensely powerful ambient music being produced these days, and (jarguna) ranks among the finest.<\/p>\n<p><BR>jarguna writes:<\/p>\n<p><BR>This collection of 50 tracks is meant to be a long journey immersed in my world, my worldview perceived through the music I produce.<\/p>\n<p><BR>As of 2023 I have released more than 49 albums, each with its own story, its own dreams, introspective journeys, but also many real journeys with on-the-spot recordings, tribal chants, ceremonies, and natural environments. The albums are a representation of my life, straddling modernity and contact with native people in search of origin\/inspiration\/foundation. <\/p>\n<p><BR>This compilation is a selection of tracks mainly with a soft and relaxing character with some passages with tribal, ritual, hypnotic hints.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Actually not all of my discography is based on relaxing music, often classified as New Age, rather, my journeys are often winding as it is, or as it should be an inner path. We can even call it spiritual. As the Bon of the pre-Buddhist Tibetan tradition say, &#8220;feed your demons.\u201d Only by learning to see them, recognize them and know how to control them can we overcome many obstacles that we self-inflict or have been inflicted on us by the environment (parents are also part of the environment).<\/p>\n<p><BR>Seven and a half hours of &#8230; jargonian atmospheres. This is a roundup of tracks selected since the first album in 2006, not very far in truth, but in these years I have been working hard to express what I had and have inside.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The unfolding of the tracks develops with a slow and rather &#8220;sleepy&#8221; beginning, full of collaborations, to arrive towards the middle with an increase of rhythmic, sonic impetuosity, a pulsating, energetic heart. After that we plunge into more slow and calm atmospheres, closing with the last 3 tracks again animated with melodic rhythms.<\/p>\n<p><BR>A kind of sine wave facilitates the brainwaves to enter states between Delta and Gamma waves, a cyclic alternation that can also help bring homeostasis into balance.<\/p>\n<p><BR>In many of these tracks there are several or even numerous artists who collaborated in the making of the tracks (see Chimera of a New World for example). Below you see in parentheses the name of the album and the chronological number of publication; then after the parenthesis the name of the artist who is part of the track.<\/p>\n<p><BR>I wish everyone a peaceful listening and that you can appreciate there is a lot of research and desire to spread good energy behind these sounds.<\/p>\n<p><TABLE><TR><TD> <span style=\"font-size:12px;\">Track (Album Name, Album Release #) guests:<br \/>\n<BR>01 Neogene (<strong>Neogene<\/strong> 40&deg;)<br \/>\n02 &Auml;lva (<strong>Tapestry Flow<\/strong> 33&deg;) with Henrik Meierkord cello<br \/>\n03 Lang-Tang (<strong>Trapped Vol1<\/strong> 22&deg;) with Alio Die Loop Bell<br \/>\n04 Sweet Awakening (<strong>Trapped Vol3<\/strong> 27&deg;) with Riccardo Dellocchio guitar and Francesco Schina sax<br \/>\n05 Winds of Sutra (<strong>Sogni di Sutra nei Vent<\/strong>i 21&deg;)<br \/>\n06 Playing for a Lullaby (<strong>Trapped Vol2<\/strong> 24&deg;) with Shane Morris vibraphone and Massimo di Nocera guitar<br \/>\n07 Reflex of a Kaleidoscope &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Prospettive Animiche<\/strong> 26&deg;)<br \/>\n08 Altoplano Index 3 &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Altoplano<\/strong> 4&deg;)<br \/>\n09 Dragon&#8217;s Tears (<strong>Kitsune<\/strong>&nbsp;39&deg;) Ryuzen Shakuhachi flute<br \/>\n10 My Temple &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>My Temple<\/strong> 32&deg;)<br \/>\n11 So Old (<strong>La Musica &egrave; Sacra<\/strong> 49&deg;)<br \/>\n12 On Top of the World (<strong>First Decade<\/strong> 20&deg;)<br \/>\n13 Nebula Part 1 (<strong>Nebula<\/strong> 9&deg;) with Seba Gongs and Tams<br \/>\n14 Soul of Ganga (<strong>Bansuri &#8211; Breath from Soul<\/strong> 2&deg;) with Lorenzo Squillari bansuri flute<br \/>\n15 Post Tenebris (<strong>Oscure Presenza<\/strong> 11&deg;) with Uzbazur Drones<br \/>\n16 Paranoia in Supermarket &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Paranoia in Supermarket<\/strong> 19&deg;)<br \/>\n17 Silicon Forest&nbsp;(<strong>Jupiter8<\/strong> 14&deg;)<br \/>\n18 Return to the Paganism (<strong>Pareidolia<\/strong> 23&deg;)<br \/>\n19 Bushland &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Bushland<\/strong> 15&deg;)<br \/>\n20 Ceremony of the Ayahuasca (<strong>Introspective Course<\/strong> 1&deg;)<br \/>\n21 Shuar Tales (<strong>Animas-k<\/strong> 36&deg;)<br \/>\n22 Mound Builders (<strong>Transmissions From Serpent Mound<\/strong> 41&deg;) with Chris Russell&nbsp;synth<br \/>\n23 Ouroboros (<strong>Archetypes<\/strong> 25&deg;)<br \/>\n24 Vietcong (<strong>Resistance<\/strong> 48&deg;)<br \/>\n25 Black Vapor (<strong>Sublimation<\/strong> 35&deg;) with Uzbazur Drones<br \/>\n26 The Labyrinth (<strong>Esoteric Garden<\/strong> 44&deg;)<br \/>\n27 A Land Burned by the Sun (<strong>Nouna<\/strong> 7&deg;)<br \/>\n28 Commutator (<strong>Waiting for a Call From the Unknown<\/strong> 8&deg;)<br \/>\n29 Fly Over Dunes (<strong>Explore form Satellite<\/strong> 3&deg;)<br \/>\n30 Lhasa River Circles the Fading Sunset Part 2 (<strong>Sunwashed Evening Fire<\/strong> 34&deg;) with Sam Rosenthal electronics<br \/>\n31 Geodes (<strong>Anat&egrave;xis<\/strong> 16&deg;)<br \/>\n32 Chimera of a New World &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Chimera of a New World<\/strong> 31&deg;)<br \/>\n33 The Forest Does Not Sleep (<strong>Amongst Jungles<\/strong> 45&deg;) with Nicola Serena synth<br \/>\n34 Puja in the Tamale of the Sound &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Puja in Temple of Sound <\/strong>38&deg;) with Sadishiva Kaargyra vocal technique and Chiara Salvadori vocal<br \/>\n35 Spirals of Rosemary (<strong>A Peaceful Granular Day<\/strong> 37&deg;)<br \/>\n36 My Temple 2 &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>My Temple<\/strong> <strong>2<\/strong> 43&deg;)<br \/>\n37 Durga Temple (<strong>Soundscape India Nepal<\/strong> 1997 12&deg;)<br \/>\n38 Ring of Life &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Ring of Life<\/strong> 5&deg;)<br \/>\n39 Fog Music &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Fog Music<\/strong> 17&deg;)<br \/>\n40 Sankalpa (<strong>Nidra<\/strong> 13&deg;) with Massimo di Nocera Guitar<br \/>\n41 Reeds Part 4 &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Reeds<\/strong> 28&deg;)<br \/>\n42 Reflex of a Reverberation &mdash; Excerpt (<strong>Reflex of a Reverberatio<\/strong>n 6&deg;)<br \/>\n43 It Goes Down with Stillness a Violet Light (<strong>Materia Lucida<\/strong> 10&deg;) with Kirill Platonkin Guitar and effect<br \/>\n44 Psilocybe (<strong>Explorations of the Unconscious<\/strong> 46&deg;)<br \/>\n45 Wisdom Without Eyes (<strong>Tales of Millennial Trees<\/strong> 29&deg;) with seetyca Synth and Drones<br \/>\n46 Gamma Grain (<strong>Granular Day in the Blue <\/strong>47&deg;)<br \/>\n47 Expansions of &#8230;..
