Nova Materia - Xpujil Revisited (2022) [Hi-Res]

Last year, French/Chilean duo NOVA MATERIA released Xpujil, a unique, experimental ambient album which came out as part of Crammed Discs’ Made To Measure composers series.
A single, 40-minute immersive piece mixed in binaural, Xpujil (pronounced ex-poo-khil) takes the listener on a sonic journey through an organic and shifting world, and blurs the limits between music, field recording and psychoacoustic trance.
The album’s material derived from recordings made during a walking trip in the Mexican jungle (* more details below).Nova Materia have now asked three eminent artists to create tracks based on the rich material contained in the album:
Donato Dozzy: the enigmatic Italian master of experimental ambient creates a magical, trippy 18-min excursion into the supernatural world of the Xpujil jungle.
Lucrecia Dalt: the highly respected Colombian avantgarde musician’s affinities with mystery, storytelling, field recordings and poetry is reflected in her lovely, concise take on the piece.
Low Jack: mostly known as an electronic music artist, Honduras-born, Frenchman Philippe Hallais has also worked with ethnographic recordings in his Garifuna Variations (commissioned by the Quai Branly Museum). Asking him to rework Xpujil was therefore a natural choice for Nova Materia.
In addition to these three reworks, the Xpujil Revisited digital release includes a new presentation of the original album, in which the original 40-min piece is segmented into four separate parts, thus enabling a different listening experience.
