Figura venture into areas of what may
be termed trance, house, acid, hypno-ethnic cross variations of sonic
underpinnings, reminiscent of the great acts of the 20th century that
had the vision & guts to travel the uncharted pathways of art that stood
to breakthrough the all too familiar formats of safety Combining elements of eastern tradition
in percussive & wind derivative sound, Figura forge a reflection surrounded
in mystery & shrouded in cerebral musings that hint of history & cultural
anthropomorphic roots. Their sound hits you in a sub conscience & visceral
manner The dreamscape & habitats that Figura
occupy, defy label classification or any feeble attempt at said, so we
won’t even go in that direction in our analysis. The keen mixture of acoustic
& electronic synthesis is many times haunting & picturesque as in the
work "Food Of Paradise" from the CD "Abduction Of Europe".
This work could be said to be mesmerizing & ground breaking in it’s sonic
vision The juncture of the hedonistic & nihilistic
tendencies of man versus his oversoul in the vast ocean of the unknown
beyond the boundaries of the three-dimensional mind, lead one to wonder
as to the travesty visited upon us by our cultures; Of the areas of compassion
& the conqueror. Of the passions of the delight of the earth, or the mirror
to the cosmos Figura explore the mythos in music
of the predator & the prey. To say that these artists are cerebral & scintillating
would be accurate; A tip of the maze of the mind & spirit that fuse the
artists works with some eternal & perplexing questions Only true visionaries
like Figura have the courage to ask these questions |
