“What do elephants dream of? Tuba trunks being played full blast, bursts of sonorous modesty, squawking – wooded poetry – rustling skins, reverberating cords, imaginary dancers, pulsation, blow, rubbing, blow, breathe, blow, pauze. What do elephants dream of? Of the jungle, of course. Duke’s jungle? The DJs’?
Ellington would never have abjured this dense, vital stickiness. Sound manipulators find their witching gear in it too. Digitised elephants’ Dreams add a new hue to the jazz spectrum, a desire for water and mist, a novel way of revitalising order from noise. Under the stones: Eden, the real thing, the other side of God’s graveyard: snaking rhythms, surging solitude, ritual ceremony, fissure, encompassing rhythm.
Poles apart from daily semantic rape and ivory dealers, such dreamlike and telluric interlacing yield a new virginity. Watering place for unhinged sounds. Visions of acoustic rave in the land of swinging baobabs. A scathing attack.” (Jean-Pol Schroeder)
