This album begins with soft jingling of bells and unhurried meditative
sounds of piano. Music of Richard Bone awakes you by its first accords and
involves you into its slightly strange, otherworldly, miraculous action.
It disorientates you, and you absolutely don't know what is going to happen,
and you just have to prepare to perceive the unavoidable.
And so it starts. Together with the uterine plangent sound rhythm appears,
and echo of a charming female voice in it. The rhythms are detective and
increasingly dramatic. The melody recalls more and more the music of Middle
East, but you are not listening a music of the past of this planet. You are
listening music of Cosmic East, full of mysteries, as if you turned to be
somewhere in the future, within the great Eurasian civilization. And then
you are planing in your imagination over the huge space of the Great Deserts
and giant megalopolises, changing voluntarily the direction of your flight,
not stopping for a moment. Your eyes are fixing green oases and dark brown
branches of mountains.
The name of the new album by Richard Bone - " Disorient" - is not occasional.
This music really makes you to drop all the expectations and the habitual
templates..
You have to be extremely flexible. And then your ear will not be deceived
by the sounds of a cosmic Shangri-La, full of chirrup of unknown birds they
are followed by a melody of passion. Now it is an intimate communication
of two lovers, an ecstasy, overflowing bliss of bodies and emotions.
Speaking about music of Richard Bone, I use the word " cosmic" expressly it has a vast inner space and depth. The musician reveals for you his universe
and you can see that it is shoreless. It scares a little and at the same
time excites you. This Infinity, which is behind the sounds of the arabesque
melodies of Richard Bone, stimulates your imagination and takes away your
whole somnolence.
Music of the album " Disorient" is harmonic in its unpredictability.
That is a reality of a higher rank. It belongs not to the world of the slave
civilizations, but to the world of spiritual beings. Richard Bone doesn't
afraid to change, and he is honest to his listeners. He is not going to replicate
the successful findings, but moves to the new and newer ideas.
And as always, reviewing the projects of Richard Bone, I can mark the
excellent, perfect sound design of his new album " Disorient" . This music
enshrouds you, and you forget about everything else.
" Disorient" is an hour of pleasure, a joy for a music gourmand, an
unbelievably juicy and fragrant exotic fruit, delivered with care from some
far lands, still unknown for the travelers.
I have not heard something comparative in respect of internal power
and greatness of impact for a long time.
It's time to drop our somnolence it's time to know us and to make clear
the things that are not understood yet. Change of the guidelines and breaking
of the conventional, established life. Bright colors outside you and new
horizons inside you. " Disorient" is the fantastic bliss of being alive...
