Review from Vital Weekly

BOBAN RISTEVSKI & OCCUPIED HEAD - THE SECRET TEACHERS (CDR by Attenuation Circuit)

Once upon a long time ago, Boban Ristevski used to write for Vital Weekly and occasionally release some music (if memory serves me well), and then he stopped writing, but also his music wasn't heard again. Maybe his releases were more to be found in the online world? Occupied Head hails from Hamburg and on this long-distance collaboration, with Ristevski being in Skopje, they take a look at "mystical traditions 'coming from the ancient world' as diverse as 'the law of three', which plays an important role in Wicca, and 'the experience of Ba while awake', which takes its cue from the ancient Egyptian cult of the dead where Ba is the name given to the mobility of the soul after death"; similar stuff as the Tibetan Book of The Dead that inspired Pierre Henry and Eliane Radigue. Musically they might have taken a few leaves out of the books of Radigue and Henry, but there is a modern-day twist to their musique concrète. It might, of course, be their inspirational sources here, but (obviously, I'd say), the music is quite dark. It doesn't concern itself with all the dark drone matter that it could also have but expands on the drone horizon with 'other' sounds. Maybe these are field recordings, or a drum machine in 'The Experience Of Ba While Awake', which remind us of their love for rhythmic music; a touch of ambient, not very house. There is a chill-out character to the music anyway, with some spacious synths, water dripping, a sparse beat/sequence and such like, but it all stays neatly on the more experimental side of things. If you decide to ignore the track titles, then it is just a damn fine album of experimental ambient music, nouveau concrete and a touch of cosmic magic (without the 'k' at the end). (FdW)

Boban Ristevski / Occupied Head / The Secret Teachers / Attenuation Circuit / 2021 CD Review

  Boban  Ristevski  is  a  solo  artist  from  Macedonia  and  Occupied  Head  is  a  solo  project  from  Germany  and  together  they  team  up  to  create  a  mixture  of  drone,  ambient,  psychedelic  and  electroacoustic  music  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2021  collaboration  album  "The  Secret  Teachers"  which  was  released  by  Attenuation  Circuit.

  Atmospheric  soundscapes  and  drones  start  off  the  album  while  the  music  also  adds  in  a  great  amount  of  field  recordings.  At  times  the  music  also  gets  very  avant  garde  and  experimental  sounding  along  with  the  music  being  all  instrumental  and  when  synths  are  utilized  they  also  bring  in  elements  of  ambient.

  Most  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length  while  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  programmed  beats.  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  great  amount  of  electroacoustic  sounds  along  with  each  song  also  sounding  very  different  from  each  other  and  the  music  also  has  its  psychedelic  moments.

  Boban  Ristevski  and  Occupied  head  team  up  together  and  bring  in a   mixture  of  avant  garde,  experimental,  ambient,  drone,  field  recordings,  electroacoustic  music  and  psychedelic  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  while  the  song  themes  focus  on  Wicca,  Alchemy,  Tibetan  and  Egyptian  Mysticism. 

  In  my  opinion  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  collaboration  between  Boban  Ristevski  and  Occupied  Head  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  avant  garde,  experimental,  ambient,  drone,  field  recordings,  electroacoustic  music  and  psychedelic.  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Experience  Of  The  Ba  While  Awake"  and  "What  Lies  Ahead  of  us".  8  out  of  10.
