Pseudo - Gnostic Guitar ii
The search for truth proceeds in endless sequels. In ambient music, an idea turns into a line of melody, a wash of drone or a moment of silence. Pseudo's previous release, Gnostic Guitar Vol I, was a live improvisation recording in a single audio track. This prior release sought to find the truths in an improvised moment.

Gnostic Guitar Vol II introduces a spirit of compositional commitment to the method. Here one finds layered sounds, rhythm patterns, melodic phrases sometimes, voice speaking and whispers. A guitar, effects, and a speaking voice give rise to a melange of sound.

Is there a “gnostic next step”in ambient language of guitar? Can one find new places within as a listener? Nothing is entirely new under the ambient sun, yet the spirit of minimal composition and the sense of transforming stasis has its virtues.

Gnosis and paradox go hand in hand. Song titles contradict themselves. Melodies are focused meditations, within aimless drones. We invite you to suspend your various disbeliefs, yet indulge your faithlessness, and find a release from Earth in these simple songs.

Lyrics to:
BOUND TO EARTH

All the love you could give
might be the less you'll receive
and the lands you may walk
and the people who talk
may breathe your own breath
may speak about depths

You should turn back your head
to what ancients been said

The spirit may fly
and drugs may take you high
all the gurus on earth
and the saints and their search
all this paths to the depths
make your soul feel upset

You could turn back your head
to what ancients been said

Bound to earth
bound to this earth
never frighten of depths
'couse depths here they are
