Nyvva - Gypsy
by Tom Ojendyk
Nyvva is recording engineer Adam Clark who plays sitar and various electronics and mixes Indian classical music with electro-acoustic drones. Excellently produced and performed, these seven tracks have an East meets West vibe but with a modern touch. While the sitar is at the forefront with the melodies, the electronic undercurrent rhythmically guides the mesmerizing music through various sonic landscapes. The longer tracks like opener “Nomadic” and closer “Chrysalis” are particular highlights with the sitar perfectly aligned with the blissed-out drones. A very nice and impressive release.
