SHINKIRO - Stalaktos CD
Shinkiro (蜃気楼) is a dark ambient project from Japan, formed in 2003 by Manabu Hiramoto to express the inner landscapes of humanity.
The music can be described as a "soundtrack to the imaginary film with dark ambiance". Recently, his musical exploration has expanded not only into the meditative and deep zone but also into his personal terrain of Shinto and Buddhism.
Stalaktos is Shinkiro's latest offering, comprising of compositions made from 2016 to 2022 which is set to be a focused listening session from the beginning to the end, based on the gradual moment of caves through many centuries. The various elements and nomenclatures given to the different physical parts of the cave make the tracklisting of this album.
