*150 copies limited edition* Drawing on decades of musical studies (Indian classical music, archaic Appalachian fiddle music, Microtonality, and early electronic experimentation), David Wunder Brägger has woven together a minimalist and analog-driven “séance” of sounds through his uniquely assembled electronic devices and acoustic drone makers. The results are epic, strange, calming, and wondrous. An immersive and stunningly beautiful cosmic bath of sound, DW Bragger’s “The Saraswati Dreamcraft” is high-water mark in ambient and healing music, taking on a rigorous creative pursuit that pushes the boundaries of the listener’s comfort zone in ways rarely associated with those idioms.
This ambient recording also features the tape-manipulated and mutated vocals of Appalachian fiddler and classical vocalist Susan Platz. In addition to the mesmerizing multi-colored vinyl, the album features the collage work of outlier folk artist Howard Rains whose work has graced countless album covers. Each physical album also comes with a double-sided print of Rains’ surreal art.
