Product Description German composer, sound designer and touch-style guitarist Markus Reuter makes his Lotuspike debut with the psychoactive soundscape work, Trepanation. Echoing chords and voices half-heard contribute to the dreamlike state induced by Trepanation. The word itself refers to the practice of removing a piece of the skull to relieve pressure on the brain. This practice was used in times past to treat a number of psychological conditions; one might imagine the music on this release being a less invasive method to achieve similar goals. At times dense, others sparse; at times disturbing and others serene, Reuter lays a tonal foundation over which partially-intelligible voices and other effects contribute to the disconnected floating atmosphere of the subconscious state. Trepanation is Markus Reuter's first release with Lotuspike, and is a brilliant example of his unique compositional style and instrumental expertise. Trepanation shimmers with masterfully crafted layers and contrast, combining soft atmospheres and pulsing rhythmic guitar textures. TRACK LISTING: 1. The Key To Conscience (6:48) 2.

The call this kinda stuff Art
I heard a cut from this on my Pandora radio station called David Lanz, so this was a real departure, although after listening awhile I got how it was related. Its the kind of thing that is so fresh and different if you don't listen to it consciously, you won't get it. I liked it. It was challenging, refreshing, interesting, and provocative the way good art is supposed to be. It was really challenging to listen to, intriguing, mysterious. Worth a listen.
