about

On May 7th, 2013 Raāg's first album of demos, "ॐ (Aum)", was released, featuring the best acoustic covers and compositions I recorded between 2011 and 2013. A few of thoses tracks would be re-recorded and would eventually end-up on the album "Visions From Past Lives" a few years later.

To celebrate Raāg's tenth anniversary, here are a couple of tracks recorded in 2013-2014 and reworked in 2023.

"Hhaï - Ouverture" was recorded during the sessions for our second album of demos, "Psychonaut", but would not be reworked for "Visions...". It is now updated, remixed with newly recorded vocals and instruments. It is a re-imagining of the track composed by Christian Vander for Magma's "Ëmëhntëhtt-Rê" suite. Themes quoted are from "Ëmëhntëhtt-Rê n°2". 'Hhaï' means "alive" in Kobaïan.
Featuring: Lari Mevimann (4-hands piano) & Dora Lussiana (viola)

"Tendiih-Loï (Reprise)" was recorded during the sessions for "Raāgnarök" but was dropped off the album. The track was re-recorded in 2018 for the album "Raāg Against The Machines". Here is the 2014 version remixed with new vocals.
Featuring: Lari Mevimann (Piano, drums) & Adélaïde Calais (Flute).

"Îmaahẁalüî" and "Khôtdazürr" are taken from the album "Ra​ā​gnar​ö​k". Remixed with discrete new overdubs and featuring unused drums part from 2014 for "Khôtdazürr".
Featuring: Lari Mevimann (drums, percussions, keyboards), Adélaïde Calais (flute) & Dora Lussiana (viola).

All other instruments played by Finrod Artîwelë.

about

Raāg image

Raāg Paris, France

Raāg is a vision - a cry from within; the voice of an ancient, tribal past coming back to life. Raāg is the need to reach back to old magick, while constantly evolving, and changing its musical shape.

The music: Psychedelic sounds, folk instruments, chanting in tongues and murmurs of dark incantations and mantras. A blend of influences; from jazz to traditional world music, psychedelic & ambient ... more
