Ulysses by Dionisaf
Ulysses is another name for the Odyssey. The album is based on Odysseus' story, considering James Joyce's rethinking of the epic in Ulysses. The recording actively uses the sounds of "non-musical" objects (sea shells, paper, foam, etc.). At different moments you can hear food sizzling in a pan or a cat purring. This collection of small elements of everyday life symbolizes the modest human feats we perform every day, as we strive toward our goals. Just as Odysseus strove home to Ithaca, overcoming difficulties, losing friends, and sometimes forgetting himself, but continuing his way, each person becomes the hero of their own Odyssey. Ulysses is a post-ambient album because ambient should be plotless, non-narrative, like wallpaper. But here we have the plot and connection with a lot of meanings.
