Music for the mind and body with: Ficmaro – Metaphysical #House #ProgHouse #Dreamscape
Electronic music has had long term interests in space both outer and inner. Perhaps it’s the drugs. But there’s more to it than that. A seeking after spiritualism and philosophical musings. Oh, and dancing your sock off. Obviously. Here’s Montreal-based Ficmaro to delve into questions of philosophy on Metaphysical.
Metaphysics examines the fundamental nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, between substance and attribute, and between potentiality and actuality. The word “metaphysics” comes from two Greek words that, together, literally mean “after or behind or among [the study of] the natural”. And that’s what the sample in Metaphysical focuses on time and space being all part of the the illusion. But it’s the music around that really gets this to fly.
The track has an almost early 90s quality. A bit like early The Shamen. It’s acid house in a dreamy way but with beats precise enough that it’s about psychedelic or lucid dreaming, not drifting off to sleep. Sounds ripple and swirl in an old school analogue but unselfconscious way. They make you part of them and your philosopher talks on endless. A tumble of words like sitting under a waterfall with them pitter patter on your head. They become the tune. It’s one of the best enlightened lo-fi tracks I’ve heard in ages.
