about

A long mesmerizing track which exploits a soft and minimalist hypnotic approach, 'Turning Away' makes us travel in towards dreams of an exotic Arabic universe in the tales of 1001 nights.
The whole thing begins with a breath of sands which awakes a synth of which the twisted melody floats among bits of intermittent percussions and suave breezes whereas delicate sequences with tom-tom tones alternate their fine striking of tribal percussions. A soft cadence is settling down. Mesmerizing it crisscrosses a superb melody with arabesques serpentine of which a mellotron mist is wrapping all of the charm beneath the aegis of percussion at once felted and metallic. Quietly, Indra dresses 'Turning Away' with delicate synth solos which spin and wave with enchantment among spectral breezes, charming flutes and fine orchestral arrangements, like quixotic violins being caress by winds and oniric Middle-East choirs. Apart those sequenced tom-toms, which are the base of a bewitching minimalist structure, delicate intermittent percussion guide the fragile movement of Turning Away which offers subtle modulations in its evolution to reach a more ethereal passage around the 16th minute. A soft moment, more ambient and more introspective, where mellotron layers are entwining to create an odd motionless waltz which is moulding to more predominant flutes whereas, gradually, the charming world of INDRA takes back its shape with sequences which alternate with more mordant in a structure just as much oniric. That’s a very nice music piece which, in spite of its 28 minutes in the meter, rolls with all the finesse from the Rumanian synthesist’ compositions.
