INCARNATION

citysavage Bandcamp Daily alerted me to Raoul Eden's Anima but I arrived to find that he also had a more recent album, Incarnation. Both are excellent, but of the two, I find Incarnation to be the more haunting and elegant. Extended guitar raga explorations and improvisations with a strong sense of place, never too long or indulgent. FFO John Fahey, Jack Rose, Gwenifer Raymond. Favorite track: Beat Your Head with Glorious Songs.

about

Instrumental odyssey, INCARNATION gives voice to 6 and 12 string guitars, lap steel dobro, guembri and modular drones; There converse strongly written pieces with languorous ranges of improvisation.

Recorded around the crackling of the hearth, in the coldness of the heights of the French Massif Central; INCARNATION offers to hear, even in the amplified rustle of the fire, the cosmic forces that organize and defeat, help and doom without any humanly understandable reason.
Conducive to meditation, INCARNATION sings of the terrible joys and the calm despairs of the soul as it journeys through its austere landscapes.

« Raoul Eden has singular influences, which he puts down to the crossroad position of his roots – between the eastern and western world, north and south. Arabic music has always been present around him. He has also modified his Guild D55 acoustic guitar with an extra fret that allows him to play microtonal embellishments like in Tuareg blues or Turkish saz. A lot of western classical music was played in the house where he grew up, and that could be another hidden influence in his style, that lyrical flow.Raoul Eden has a firm rooting in the spiritual world, from the transcendental materialism of the french philosopher Deleuze, which studies in detail, to the esoteric theosophy of Ibn Arabî the famous Sufi Master from Andalusia, or Master Eckart, the Dominican theologian.He tries to put a foot in the door of enlightenment by driving a vertical temporality out of history. With his guitar, he tries to fold time and space in intensivity. »

Raoul Eden Le Puy, France

Raoul Eden is an instrumental guitarist deeply influences by oriental music, Indian râga and classical lyricism but still rooted in dark primitive psychedelic blues.He develops structures that are both repetitive and ecstatic, melodies that are constructed and luminous, free forms that are violent and quasi-improvised; All bordering on an inner journey beyond reality. ... more
