Episode Synopsis
Microcosmos Records presents Gati, a new album by Six Dead Bulgarians — a deep, ritualistic journey where ambient electronics, ethnic instrumentation, and archaic memory dissolve into one continuous flow.
The word Gati comes from Sanskrit and can be translated as movement, path, passage, destiny, the migration of the soul. It reflects a worldview where life unfolds as an endless current of transitions and rebirths. This idea resonates with the geography of the Russian North, where countless rivers carry names ending in "-ga" — Volga, Onega, Pinega, Vaga — as if echoing an ancient linguistic and cultural source.
Musically, Gati is dense yet meditative. Analog synthesizer drones pulse like slow breathing, while flutes, didgeridoo, trumpet, guitar, ethnic percussion, and deeply rooted folk vocals form a living, organic texture. Field recordings from the archives of Kenozero National Park add a documentary layer, grounding the album in real landscapes, voices, and time.
The album's concept revolves around the life and fate of a Russian woman during times of hardship — not as a narrative, but as a state of being. Each track feels like a fragment of memory: intimate, restrained, and quietly powerful. Despite its depth, Gati remains surprisingly accessible — music that can accompany daily life while subtly shifting perception.
