Painting Petals On Planet Ghost + Mykel Boyd [coll] – [Somnimage]

humana   11/5/2009   7-inch, A Library

Side A is a lovely descent into peacefulness with Ramona Ponzini providing vocals, Japanese bells and wind chimes, Maurizio Opallo offering acoustic guitar, and Roberto Opallo supplying outer space. Highly relaxing and indeed aptly titled “Losing Consciousness.” On Side B Mykel Boyd manipulates sounds using field recordings from a cemetary in the snow–it’s very quiet and I’d suggest mixing but it has beauty alone, as “Silence Takes the Simpler Form.”
