Rooting Rites [रूटिंग संस्कार] by Jarguna & Tim Norton

A new sun dawns with "Rooting Rites," which explores a series of rhythms and atmospheres within a ceremony of the meeting of fires and winds.

Jarguna and Tim Norton take us on a new journey toward our consciousness and reflection.

The style of this album has the feel of a few decades ago, where tribal
percussion blended with electronic textures, synthetic loops, and
introspective effects.
It was a way to highlight the ritualistic emphasis of some native
peoples. It seems to have gone out of fashion, but I admit my
disappointment, because I believe it's a style that can connect the
people of this era to an era that apparently no longer belongs to us.

But as always, don't care about trends and continue to do what I feel.
I believe this music beautifully combines the old with the new, but as I
always try to do, it gives voice to the people.

Organic rhythms, at times fluid, at others rigid, like hitting a wooden
plank, evoking the raw, a primitive form of communication with a beating
heart that longs to align with its own deep vibrations, a ritual of
grounding.

Listening to this album is like immersing yourself in a remote village
in some forest, prairie, or savannah, among dwellings immersed in
nature, made of nature, mud walls and thatched roofs.
We must imagine a simple life, farming, hunting, making tools, all with
our own hands, and completely dependent on time and events.

With this album, have a very specific visualization: a film from the
1980s called "Emerald Forest," a masterpiece that, seen today, is still
relevant. I recommend seeing it.

Moments of joy, sadness, life and death alternating, there are no
distractions, life is real, period.

Initiation ceremonies, mystical trials, delving into one's own
unconscious to speak with the ancestors and find answers.

An album full of introspection, but also meant to be enjoyed as if it
were a film soundtrack. While listening, try to immerse yourself in the
wild landscapes and the people within them, without too much
distinction.

संस्कार (Rites) is an intimate concept based on the union of nature and being human through connection rites focused in the ambient meditative, experimental, tribal and ritual sounds of the world.

A journey in the form of music through the different states that make up the initiation rites: Samskāra, dīkṣā, and āśrama
