Guitarist Channels Meteors & Aymara Rites
9 Feb
Summary
- Album 'Anata' embraces un-mastered raw sound.
- Music inspired by Aymara ceremony and communal spirit.
- Features solo guitar with Bolivian instrumentation.

Joshua Crampton, known for his work with Los Thuthanaka, has released his latest solo album, 'Anata.' This collection proudly wears an "Un-Mastered" disclaimer, presenting music in its most elemental, in-the-red form. The album's raw, unvarnished texture is inspired by the ceremonies of the Aymara people, of which Crampton is a member.
'Anata' aims to capture the intensity of these ceremonies, mirroring how they might be perceived through a modern, flattened recording. Crampton cites a Bolivian critic who described his music as 'activated ceremonial music,' suitable for urban ceremonies. This approach highlights a spiritual truth found in the unpolished sounds of the post-analog era.
