Bill Laswell + P.ST - Mount Analogue
Featuring Nils Petter Molvaer, Henry Kaiser, Anna Clementi, Dorian Cheah, Percy Howard, Graham Haynes, Hideo Yamaki, Peter Apfelbaum.
This musical journey pays tribute to René Daumal and his enchanting world of mysteries and magic.
The album shares its title with Daumal's novel, Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing, published posthumously in 1952, eight years after the author's untimely death.
Mount Analogue is a classic allegorical adventure novel.
The novel describes an expedition undertaken by a group of mountaineers to travel to and climb the titular Mount Analogue an enormous mountain on a surreal continent, that is invisible and inaccessible to the outside world and can be perceived only by the application of obscure knowledge.
The central theme of mountaineering is extensively explored through literary and philosophical lenses.
Daumal died before the novel was completed, providing an uncanny one-way quality to the story, which ends abruptly in the middle of a sentence.
