about

I crossed the doorway of Sanjūsangen-dō and for the first time I felt my atheism hesitate: when I saw them all together, in that huge hall, those 1000 Kannon of gold, in their roaring silence, ordered an absolute respect. I felt those bodies moving and crawling with each other, that massive metal mass sounding all together, then voices looping and distant percussion sound. From the memory of those moments this record is born.

--About the sound
Samples from traditional japanize music and percussion recordings (Azzam Bells wooden box, gamelan, iron surfaces, taiko drums...) were meshed with a analog drum machine and analog Synths.

--Tracklist:
美月 (The beautiful moon)
観月 (I see the moon)
水木 (The water and the trees)
水月 (The water and the moon)
水城 (The water castle)
魅月 (The charm of the moon)

The titles are the 6 japanize translations for the sound “MZKY”

--About MZKY:
MZKY is the pseudonym under which lies Michelangelo Roberti, musician
already active in several projects (Garaliya, Serif 's, Udo Caramba) .
In MZKY converge electronic ambient atmospheres, obscure drones and
his passion for percussions, played, looped and modulated in real time.
A trip between the lands of the East and the depths of space.
