GOSHEVEN - BIVAQ (full album) by Gosheven

"It is profoundly moving and as compelling as anything you’ll find around at the moment." (Brian Morton - The Wire)

Following his widely-acclaimed record Leaper, Gosheven leaps again and continues the never ending quest he started, to share the hidden treasures of alternate tunings. Bivaq is a natural continuation of Leaper: it is still an utterly personal record that places vulnerability in the heart of the things while it shares end-of-the-world spirits and creates unusual atmospheres of parallel universes. It is an imaginary shelter where one can feel comfortable, far from the maelstrom of the outside world, and can take a rest, collect the intuitive and creative powers while gazing at the Earth.

Almost half of the tunes were triggered by the extensive work with a group of contemporary dancers-choreographers and later became the score of the group's still running performance "Deeper". Not surprisingly the music served as an essential part of this ungraspable visionary work.

Featured tunings: Wendy Carlos super just tuning (#2, #3, #5, #7, #8), La Monte Young's The Well-Tuned Piano tuning (#1, #4, #11, #12), Michael Harrison's Revelation tuning (#9, #10), Ben Johnston's overtone tuning (#6)
