SIDDHARTHA BARNHOORN \u2013 DUNE MEDITATIONS<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

My first association after seeing the title was that this album was inspired by Frank Herbert\u2019s books, or perhaps by the Dune movies. But I was wrong: the true inspiration came from walks in the Dutch dunes near Katwijk aan Zee. <\/p>\n

After some of his walks in the dunes, Siddharta Barnhoorn<\/a><\/em><\/strong> sat down playing his guitar. These spontaneous sessions were completed with synthesizers and singing bowls (and a spolum drum<\/a> on Meditation IV) and thus became this set of seven Meditations.<\/em> Those walks were obviously inspiring \u00e1nd relaxing \u2013 you can check the cover for an impression \u2013 because the music is, too. <\/p>\n

Siddharta Barnhoorn<\/em><\/strong> is a Dutch composer who has scored more than 70 films, documentaries, and games. His Bandcamp page<\/a> boasts no less than 50 titles. Apart from the work he produced on commission, he also (self-)released solo albums of ambient music \u2013 some of which were featured earlier on Ambientblog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With its seven meditations, Dune Meditations<\/em><\/strong> is an excellent addition to his already extensive catalogue. <\/p>\n
