PLANETS is not a band. These musicians have played together in various constellations for aeons. This is their first release.

Demonic invocation of the unseen world, PLANETS is a low music of the people, music of the earth. Spontaneously arising, it joins the subterranean roar with functional spells of protection, ancient hymns of resistance, parades, material rhythms, animal diction and cosmic noise. It opens the gates to nowhere.

Capturing that time when the planets aligned (January 2025) here five musical orbits converge, a parliament of musical histories, to fix that movement of change, each exerting its own gravitational pull. Now leading, now lending, rising, revolving, shadow and light, colliding and coinciding they go.

The listener, entering this ever-changing field of energies, makes the music happen. Each one composes a different line, visualizing spaces dark and voluminous, brilliant and airy, imagining the time elastic when ethereal sentiments grow suddenly ferocious, bringing, generating and transmitting each our own unique experience back into the music.
