The first three tracks function as establishing shots. They are textural compositions, reflective soundscapes that can be played as loops back to back to form a prolonged meditative audio space. Whereas the first half points to a feeling of nostalgia, positive feelings and a yearning to a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsolution\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the second half of the release brings us to a more poignant zone and points to uncertainty, threat, fear and the turmoil omnipresent in the middle east and epitomized in Claude-Joseph Vernet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s painting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Shipwreck\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (1772) \u00e2\u20ac\u201d set in an unidentified maritime landscape that very much resembles the port of Jaffa in Israel. This scene blends the sublime and the beautiful that can be found in a horror scenario, it is the background and the prime mover of Slavin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s music in these new\/old compositions. It is the region\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s omnipresent new\/old political tension and war that is reflected indirectly in the bittersweetness that flows from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Mediterranean Drift\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, an album that is yet another big step in Ran Slavin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s maturing work as a composer.<\/p>\n<p>You can download \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cronicaelectronica.org\/?p=049\">The Mediterranean Drift<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as high-quality MP3 or Apple Lossless files directly from Cr\u00c3\u00b3nica and free of charge.
