What if sound could carry not only rhythm, but identity? Universal Roots answers that question by weaving together five tracks that sound nothing alike, yet breathe the same air—an air filled with resistance, love, and expansive wonder.
go-Dratta’s “Lato Mare” begins the compilation with innocence as a compositional tool. The children’s voices are not decoration—they’re central. Their unpredictability contrasts the calm of the piano, like the sea tide against a lullaby. It feels spontaneous yet sacred.
“Lachin” by Magna Pia transitions us into the realm of memory. Here, the Uyghur folk melody is respectfully stripped back to its essence. The falcon doesn’t need wings; it flies through vibration. It’s a subtle but forceful act of preservation.
Then comes the roar. “I Roared My Justice” by Saba Alizadeh doesn’t whisper—it confronts. The voice sample in Farsi is a revelation. Surrounded by warping modular electronics and bowed Kamancheh, the message becomes both ghostly and powerful. This is not background music. It’s a call.
TON 618’s “Magnetar” introduces the perspective of the non-human. The use of real stellar data produces not just music, but a glimpse into the mechanics of the universe. Detached and cold, yet deeply beautiful—it’s a soundtrack for galaxies.
CNS closes with “Legacy,” a golden-toned exploration of lineage and triumph. It doesn’t rush. It builds with dignity, offering a sonic crown to the generations that shape us.
In Universal Roots, each artist becomes a node in a larger system. Different voices. One breath.
