about

"Calls from a dimension beyond our understanding beckon our exploratory spirit in the opening moments of tuuljamuud. Haunted, formless echoes fade in and out of view like a liminal glow. This music feels ancient, something that has existed forever in between worlds, but was only extracted when eleOnora’s voice cracked it open. Duets with wind and the resonance inside a stairwell eschew the underlying bleakness to find beautiful expression in the face of nothingness. “Voice improv through jaw harp at home” in particular is imbued with an ancient sheen, the timbre of the jew harp adding a rough, well-worn edge to her vocal incantations. Melodies stretch beyond the horizon to entangle the world’s essence in an evaporating cosmic air. Incredible."

"Under her eleOnora moniker, Estonian-Latvian avant-garde vocalist Eleonora Kampe (also of Road To Saturn, Tencu/eleOnora and Ringhold) takes sound design to even more esoteric places on her first solo release, tuuljamuud.

Comprising of six compositions at 47 minutes, tuuljamuud is an abstract series of meditative voices conceived from the abyss. While the songs from this record are said to have been made years apart, it’s surprising just how coherent this record is, almost taking the listener on a new spiritual plane.

With a minimalist thread that runs all the way through tuuljamuud, it’s like a seance that summons the ghouls from afar. Along with fellow experimental purveyors Waterflower and Gvantsa Narim, eleOnora is another important thread to the Cruel Nature patchwork."

"'tuuljamuud' is a fascinating and slightly unsettling album of mesmerizing vocalizations and abstract ambient soundscapes. Klampe's heartfelt vocal performances, the atmospheric field recordings and minimalistic production makes for a very cathartic and immersive listening experience."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘tuuljamuud’ by eleOnora is an album with abstract meditative voice as its chore element. It is the artist’s first solo release which consists of improvisations from three different recording sessions made over the period of 13 years. Like the time range suggests this album is retrospective in its nature. Although the recordings were made many years apart from each other they display similarity in their mood. It is one of the moods that eleOnora has been developing in her work over the years - an idea of a statically flowing, slowly morphing, minimalistic voice holding space for the listeners.

eleOnora (Eleonora Kampe) is an Estonian-Latvian singer and avant-garde vocalist. She works both as a solo artist and in collaborative projects that include noise and ambience duo Road To Saturn, static abstractions project Tencu/eleOnora and an avant blues experiment Ringhold.
