GAISTER
GAISTER
Boomkat Product Review:
Sublime debut of waking dream ambient chamber craft by contemporary hyperconnector Coby Sey, soprano Olivia Salvadori, and Bo Ningen drummer Akihide Monna, aka Gaister, here binding in a suite of richly evocative, experimental sound sculpture and poetry for AD93 - RIYL Cucina Povera, Maja Ratkje, Shackleton, Francesco Cavaliere.
The key to Gaister’s first outing (of more to come) is in their made up moniker; a play on the german for ‘spirit’ (‘geist’), indicating a keening gist to the supernatural, flush with harder-to-explain, fleeting sensations that you just know when you feel it. Initially seeded as a duo of Sey / Salvatori with results registered on Osàre! Editions’ showcase of their Tutto Questo Sentire residency in Tuscany, Italy, Gaister’s mix of intimate poetry and expansive sound scaping is now given wings by Akihide Monna’s effervescent percussion in a definitive eponymous flight, recorded in Iceland, that steps off from notions of nature’s interrelatedness to a focus on voice and materials as pure sculptural elements.
Alternating their native Italian, English and Japanese in softly spoken, ululated, and growling tongues, Gaister embody a form of communication quietly conceived over the past 7 years or so; a mutable framework that allows for free-flowing expression. In relative newcomer Monna’s words, their approach prompted a sound which “spontaneously spun out as if we were pulling at each other's hearts and minds with a strange internal connection and sensation. Something pure was brought out.” That thread of logic guides their communion from the contracts of soft spun mantras and brittle drums on ‘Source’ thru glorious peaks of Salvadori’s operatic plumes in ‘Sento’, via soul-gripping harmonic discord recalling Shackleton & Heather Leigh’s outings in ‘Conscious Concentration’ and a beatific bliss-out ‘Solar’, that comes down to the holistic rustling of ceramics, sibilant whispers and poetry reminding of Wayne Phoenix’s diaristic outsider soul in centrepiece ‘Geist’.
In other hands, this formulation may have fallen too squarely into the avant realm, or washed away in the ambient drift, but the trio’s filigree consolidation, and unraveling, of an entheogenic spirit hits a sweetspot between that should see it travel, like mushies, to anyone that needs it.
