Yagya - Will I Dream During the Process

Yagya's name is a derivative of the Yajna ritual. Commonly practised in Vedic times, Hinduists would put sacrifices in a fire to celebrate and honour the cosmic creative principle that connects everything. I've heard music from all corners of the planet involving such dedication, nevertheless Yagya is very different.

I'm still trying to get my head around artists like Yagya, such as Biosphere and Pete Namlook. I reckon there's nothing to grasp about Yagya's music, though. Just listening to the music does what it needs to do. And it definitely takes you to places you haven't been before.

'Will I Dream' is a mix of gradually built-up both dark and enchanting ambient, typically supported by a steady 4/4 kick and a host of dubdelay-lay-lay noises and reverberating clicks. The serene and cosmic part is represented by the strings, synths and pads, playing minor chords throughout the album.

After all the dark, scenic, serene journeys, the last track of the album has a certain angelic quality. Tying Yagya's mental journeys together, this uplifting track is a bright epiphany in the story of 'Will I Dream During the Process'.

“Will I Dream During The Process? CD was released in 2006 on the Sending Orbs label. On first listen there will be the obvious Kaito and Ulrich Schnauss comparisons. No problem. When you take into consideration his subsequent 2009 Rigning CD one detects a more beat driven Basic Channel stirrings and recent Deepchord, Gas, and Vladislav Delay influences. All good and well.

This is all of those and more. It's more lush, exotic, definitely atmospheric, and ethereal with a hint of dub so one an stay away from the dubious 'beautiful' moniker. To say this music will send you is akin to asking where is the space capsule. No need. One listen and you are gone. The confines of an intergalactic vessel would only limit what is undefinable.

Suffice to say one very talented musician has opened the valves and let the the heavens pour in. Brusque enough to make one shudder. Enchanting enough to quell any storm. It's mighty and more. ”
