Tracklist:

A2. Vakula x Mira - In Search of Ancient Civilization
B1. Vakula x Mira - In the wake of Trismegistus
C1. Vakula - Lemurian Balad
C2. Vakula x Nevertii (feat Olena) - OM NAMAH SHIVAYA
D1. Vakula x Nevertii (feat Olena) - The Message
D2. Vakula x Nevertii - New Civilization
D3. Vakula x Nevertii (feat Olena) - Sacred Forest


In Search of Ancient Civilization is an contemporary electronic work at its finest, although the tools used to shape its sound are linked to a folk tradition. For that matter the album features musicians from within Vakula's creative circle. Tracks that needed specific vocals and also rare instruments such as harp, fujara, tambourine have been produced in collaboration with Olena Nevertii and Yaroslav. The artist has sampled himself while throat singing along with field recordings in natural surroundings.

There's a message behind the carefully made-by-hand fantasy aesthetics of the production and its unconventional voice. Vakula's fascination with the Ancient world moved him through the history of humanity, to the point where his findings were insightful enough to warn the listener: "It's time to wake up".

In Search of Ancient Civilization is the 22nd release of Arma Records to be released on 23rd October 2020.

press text:
Ukrainian producer Vakula, whose name is linked to the early days of Arma, re-emerges with Techno Game. The double vinyl features seven confidently-carved tracks that reflect Vakula's current exploration of techno landscapes. As the cover suggests, it is a game. The author does little to nothing to explain the rules, throwing the listener into an elegantly structured space that feels alarmingly material. Featuring artwork by Juli Kozyr, the release date is set for the 25th of November.
