about

This album is an ode to the Yukon larges spaces and to the work of Jack London.

Cet album est une ode aux grands espaces glacés du Yukon et à l'oeuvre de Jack London.

"The Call of the Wild is a story that holds a bit of special significance for me as I read it myself when was young and then again when I was an adult to my then eight years old daughter. When I came across this album, I was curious to hear what ambient composer Mark Kowalski (a.k.a. Lack Jondon) had created from this inspiration. Wonderfully, this album did not disappoint in its approach to the source material.


Each track has a particular character imbued in it that persists throughout the album. It feels expansive, like a reverb that has no reflection. It is just a pure wide open space that perfectly captures the cold quality of the settings in which London's stories occur. This motif is established early on and then subverted ever so slightly by tracks such as "Setting Up The Camp" in which high piercing drones and soft oscillations are joined by sparse percussive hits that set such a vivid picture of standing in the snowy, icy cold trying to build a shelter for the cold night. But the true moment of this album for me was the next to last track "Call of the Wild," an almost twelve-minute epic that perfectly coalesces the entire album into one amazing extended moment lying somewhere between zen and turmoil."
