The zither playing legend of ambient and drone music Laraaji takes us towards a new astral plane in his newest collection of sounds for Splice. In his words,
“I am hoping to be surprised, inspired, and encouraged to reach into other directions with the electric zither as a result of listening to what creative composers and musicians will be doing with this. I’ll be able to sit back and listen to this music in fresh new patterns and contexts. This is exciting for me. I look forward to it. It’s something I do with synthesizers. Musicians design wonderful voices and sounds for synthesizers, and then I come along, take the synthesizer, and use their creations to channel my own creations, so it’s something I’ve always been doing and I am open to others doing it with my sounds ... Film, relaxation, dance, jazz, healing, jam sessions, having creative fun like I’m having with my career.” - Laraaji
