KraftiM is a soundarchitect. He likes to play with own recordings, fieldrecordings, passing-by waves and mix and blend them together in his own crossrhythmic style.

It ain't paperwall, it ain't rock, you need to give it a listen cause the beauty only slowly emerges. Lets call it straight ambient, electronic and experimental. Look at the adventurous side of music, beyond the mainstream. Anxious to hear from you...

A nice review of etsitara, the raga   from the Finnish masterproducer/composer Doc:

I have had the pleasure to know KraftiM for the last few years and thereby to follow his artistic unfolding in the field of experimental electronica from a fairly close distance. Starting from his first single releases the key qualities of his music have been experimentation and a distinctively unique sound and atmosphere. It did not take long to see that he is a true experimentalist in his heart. Not in any forced fashion, so that he would be obsessed always to do things differently from what other artists have done, but rather in the way of a seasoned adventurer to whom it is a most natural joy to head off into uncharted territories, to carve his own path through whatever comes ahead and to enjoy the pristine views and atmospheres offered to a fearless explorer. His taste for the new is even reflected in the short and personal track names that have the peculiar 'KraftiM quality' to them.

This album could be broadly characterized as a fusion of East and West, Krita Yuga's beautiful sitar material providing a spiritual and meditative influence that mixes into KraftiM's modern 'western' electronic production and the occasional energetic rhythmic elements. However, in the emotional map we strangely do not end up into any geographic point between Holland and India but rather in some interesting new meta place that is hard to position precisely - it is a new place on an uncharted land. The brief intro with almost Hendrix-like undertones reveals only that something uncommon is ahead but from track 2 on the listener is taken to the real destination area of this adventure. Subtly, track by track, the spiritual, tradition-respecting sitar starts to expand into intricate delay patterns, as if the contemplating instrumentalist would be gently lifted into another sphere, another time and culture. When we come to part 4 of the kRaga, rhythm and energy arise from the background but in a pleasant, non-aggressive fashion. The sitar player may have been lifted into a waiting spaceship, and the spaceship may be gliding over a hypermodern civilization but he still holds his sitar and the raga continues, although taking slightly stranger and more alianeted tones towards the end, again with some hendrixian intimations in the outro. The last track, Sta River Sun, makes a beautiful, relaxing end to this excellent experimental album.

I am looking forward to the next sonic adventure from this Dutch artist. I have no idea where it will take us - it will probably be again something totally different, something from a fresh emotional place and context. This musical travel agency is specialized in surprise destinations.

Thank you Doc, and my best wishes to to you and Lena Selyanina, who's work i highly respect...
