The substance of this extraordinary piece of music was developed from the actual sound of a spinning top, a melodic rhythmic pattern, and simple electronic fluxes. There is an inversion of traditional modes of musical composition. While the high-pitches and the rhythmic swing remain imperturbably constant which means it can be heard as minimalist variations (stressing, de-synchronisation, variations in density and mobility, etc.) create constant movement, turning the sound material into something virtually living, constantly reaffirming itself, always the same yet renewed. Out attention is caught in a sound nest, defined in the bass by a rolling pedal, and in the treble by uninterrupted cooing, voluble an iridescent, that continuously swells and falls off. But if this music is a lullaby, it is the lullaby of the tiger! This protection conceals ferocity and threat all the more powerful because it does not show itself in the light of day. It is only interrupted by big sounds of rubbing rolling arc, passing slowly, and sometime triggering electric outbursts rising in zigzags. During these sound rifts (which the author calls skies), the inexorable comes to an end and suddenly freedom and lightness surges forth. (Bayle)

![Farthest South - Spheres & Constellations [Excerpt] (2013)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u58CHUgKgVc/mqdefault.jpg "Farthest South - Spheres & Constellations [Excerpt] (2013)
On their sophomore album Spheres & Constellations, Israeli psychedelic improv group Farthest South sound like a completely different band. Whereas their debut Omens & Talismans generated a somewhat free-jazz meets electronica vibe, the new recording by the exploratory trio comes from a radically different aesthetic. With no rhythmic foundation to speak of, Spheres & Constellations instead treads a path of ambient synth washes, abstract harmonies, impressionistic melodic fragments, processed vocal samples and mystical drones. Influenced by a highly personal and spiritual experience shared by the band members during one long night spent in the Israeli desert, S&C is the culmination of a collective transformation on the most basic level.
Consisting of one nearly 35 minute long track, the album tells the story of a journey into inner space through 3 spheres of consciousness external, internal and eternal to the essence of Being, that place at the core of every human where time and space hold no meaning. This is an expedition to reach the archetypal home, the home we all carry within us, by navigating non-physical constellations not those which are formed by stars, but rather personal ones, the ones all individuals create for themselves and which stem from the very ability we all possess to choose our own destiny.
