“In a recent article that dealt with music of the Ukrainian trio of Maryana Golovchenko/Anna Antipova/Kateryna Ziabliuk inspired and accompanied by the 1965 cinematic work “Shadow of Our Forgotten Ancestors” of Sergej Parajanov I wrote about folk music as mother of all music and the creation of deep ambient music in the adoption of Ukrainian folk music (from the Carpathians) by that Ukrainian trio. The cinematic work of Parajanov is a strong example of a deep artistic adoption (and recreation) of folk traditions and folk tales.
Folk music as the mother of all music can be translated and transformed in many ways, in original, raw authentic ways, in softening folksy ways, in the style of classical music, in ‘modernised’ styles or in adulterating manner as in turbo-folk etc.. Actually folk music sources and elements permeate all kinds of music without us realising it.
Both moments, folk music sources and ambient mode/style of music appear in the accompanying text of this Ensemble Ensemble album: the music is characterised as combination of Norwegian folk music heritage, electronic experimentation with improvised jazz.”
