Between June and September 2007 Qiipnm'id Yorgomnüg re-worked and ordered his personal sound-material to create his first recording ever. The complexity to organize – and fix on a recording – textures and patterns that are not supposed to be heard twice, forces him to dissect his own playing.

Made of shamanic-like sonorities (such as gongs, metal bells, deep frame drums...) viewed via a digital/analogic electronic prism using real-time treatments – A silica(te) replica presents for the first time on disc the peculiar language enigmatic figure Qiipnm'id Yorgomnüg.

N.B. "Monolith IV" cannot be heard on mediocre sound-systems. If using headphones, beware of high volume listening...
