Tristan Bath / THE QUIETUS:
«Tape scene stalwarts Somnoroase Păsărele dub their side, ‘CLAR’ as a medley, though it’s perhaps more of an abstract stream-of-consciousness, with leering bassy synth lines stirring beneath a slow-moving gale of bit-crushed tones, segueing from organ-like clouds, to chaotic dissonance, and ultimately moving out the other side of a black hole where a massive drone swallows everything whole. Give yourself over to ‘CLAR’ and you will be engulfed and destroyed. It’s an electronic suite with the same primitive technological feel that makes early tape music so compelling, but woven through with a much more tangible sense of drama that makes it a breezy, and affecting, listen.»

LOST IN A SEA OF SOUND:
«Somnoroase Păsărele turning the sonic kaleidoscope, an electronic multi dimensional bask in sublime energy. Aural radiation emulsifying the listening space, a slow burning imprint of a landscape still unknown. Romanian artist Gili Mocanu teeters on the impossible, both emitting an array of complex creativity and absorbing all thoughts from those who listen through. This composition titled CLAR flows with heavy undercurrents, while the sonic surface swirls in eddies and rippling turbulence. Like the delta at the river mouth, the six pieces within CLAR carry the same melodic attributes welling from the source.»
