LDN Monos takes the sound of a ritualistic chant and places it in a swim of mechanistic beats and descending bell tones in the beginning of the single “Samsara.” And in the music video we see a swim team entering into their laps, plunging into the water and creating various circles individually and together with a fluid grace paralleled with the song itself which is structured in loops and a circular dynamic of its own. As the title suggests the Hindu/Buddhist concept of the cycle of death and rebirth as reflected in great works of art and music from that region and beyond can be heard in the music and in tandem with the visuals giving it a dimensional and conceptual meaning that into and expresses universal patterns of human behavior and cognition. LDN Monos obviously wouldn’t be the first person to harness this method of using music to convey layers of meaning, his own employment of sounds in crafting what might be considered a bit of an IDM track hits as playful and uplifting like an extended jingle with only benevolent intentions and root inspirations.
