Artist Info: Akpan

A project by the artist who also performs as Sva Battalion. Militant shamanistic dark-ambient / noise in which throat singing, khomus, percussion and wind instruments meet noises and gunshots. Feeling like a gathering of shaman-generals conjuring up their military business. According to the label, all instruments and voices are natural, not sampled. In general, quite vivacious and non-standard recording, qualitative and interesting. Recalls later 'early' SPK but not in an 'in your face' sort of way... very subtle. [read more...]
