Light as a feather, dreaming like an angel in the wind… Very slow music for relaxation, meditation, yoga, and day dreaming |
From Despair to Ecstasy: Poems originally written between 1964 and 2010 (but mostly 70s), and accompanied by Ariel’s music. Made with a Revox (plus sound on sound technique) – Several forgotten archives on analog tapes, then digitalized and remastered Du desepoir a l’extase... Ces poemes furent ecrits entre 1964 et 2010 (principalement annees 70s) et mises en musique d’Ariel, partant parfois d’un simple Revox (avec re-re) – Archives oubliees en bandes analogues pendant 40 ans, puis digitaliser et remasteriser… |

| Magical 80s | Space - Time Out | |
No wonder I was called a Flying Boy: I barely touched the ground… composing Space Music, living frugally, and participating or assisting Human Potential workshops between Paris and everywhere else! |

| Music To Dream 2 | Odd Ones | |
When we go inside, un-hurried, when frequencies heal instead of agitate, when melodies harmonise with our soul, instruments and voice seem to tune to each other, buffering our life with peace and quiet. |
Ariel is a sound lover: he gets sounds effects from anything: a generator, a keyboard, a flute or a sophisticated synth, he carves mysterious universes where anything is possible! |

| Reflections in a Cathedral | Magical 70s | |
New York 1976 – Life gave me Trust - India gave me the foundation. Electronics the means. Reflection quietness. Jazz the freedom, Rock the guts. Those early recordings show progress and hiccups in my drone and repetitive keyboard skills …! |
A lot happened during my formative 70s: improvising in churches, alt-rock bands, 74-75 India by land, a cathedral, Studios GRM. I was quietly recording my compositions, stored for 45 years on analog ¼” tapes, then digitized and remastered. What a journey! |

Ariel spent much time on Maui with family and friends, playing jazz, reggae, and after buying studio equipment, recording for himself. Music was not released until much later from Australia. |

French Archives 1977 - 80 (4-LP box)
...... French Archives 1977 – 1980, the lavish four LP box set, now emerging in the hands of Black Sweat, draws from previously unreleased recordings from one of Ariel Kalma’s most creatively rich periods. Divided under four headings – Sarasvati Planet Ariel, Planet Air, Ascend Descend and Astral Cathedral, the represented body of work was conceived as autonomous works, sculpting distinct sonic environments, as well as for applications within group therapy sessions for healing, trance and relaxation.
When viewed as a single body emerging from the shadows of time, these lost recordings offer a remarkable revelation into the diversity of Kalma’s practice. With their ambiences, extended tones, and repetitive rippling melodies, most of the composer’s previously know work has offered easy connections to the efforts of the New Age Movement and to Minimalists like Terry Riley, La Monte Young, and Jon Hassell.
The works contained within French Archives 1977 – 1980, display an even more diverse range – all so engrossing and of such a remarkable quality, that it’s an unquestionable sin that they have remained unheard for so long.
