Martes Martes "Dragon cat fox cat son"
"Martes Martes" makes instrumental music about animal consciousness which consists of experimental yet wholesome and emotionally rich compositions performed with recorders, pan pipes, (auto/) harps, bells, and some guitar and keyboards. In addition, the last (hidden?) track of the album makes use of a fantastic string quartet. The lofi arrangements produce a humble contrast to the powerful song-writing which gives the music an authentic and grounded feel despite its lofty aspirations. According to their website their album "Dragon Cat Fox Cat Son " is intended to capture "all the joy, suffering and longing of all those creatures pushed aside by the relentless march of human 'progress.'" From what I can tell this is written with the utmost seriousness. In fact my bunny Nina has already attested to the creative integrity of their work. Their name is taken from an awe-inspiring European mammal commonly known as the marten. Here' some footage of the Pine Marten . I think I'd like to take the next two years off and make a nature documentary about the life cycle of Pine Martens set to this music. Dissertation possibility?last.fm. I highly recommend "city lights (tanuki song II)" and "martens at night."
