Aum Ra from Aum Ra by Ksenia Fedorova

Aum Ra - maybe more better "Oom Ra"
Here the album's name is of direct importance; it also forms the basis of the artwork, shown above. The syllable "aum" in Hindu thought - as a monotone, singular vibration - represents the totally of universal creation and consciousness. It gives form to the notion of God, prior to language - which will only spoil that wholeness. In a world where noisy ravens and wet matches make romance, let alone trusting faith impossible, we should not be surprised that Fedorova is enchanted by attempts to deal with essential sounds, prior to any nervous runaround the dictionary.
Especially if God's watching.

Fedorova's technique is recognizable from a great distance, because of that incantational quality.
This is no penchant for baroque decoration, though; quite the opposite. It's an increasingly frantic chase for full and proper self-expression.
