Of the album, Ramble Records' road-runner extraordinaire writes:
"Prolific guitarist, composer, sound designer, field recordist Jeff Gburek’s Madhuwanti Dérives is an inspiring set of divine exploratory eastern-flavoured improvised compositions highlighting his deft fingerpicking and appreciation of music from South East Asia including Hindustani classical music, and Gamelan."
Thank you, Michael Sill, for all the support and kindness.
Of the album, Brazilian guitarist and composer George Chrsitian writes:
"Subtlety and spirituality that are very much needed for this crazy world of wars..."
For the readers and listeners: my album notes, written in June, 2024, touched up a bit:
"Can anyone or anything actually go astray? Go off course, lethally digress, take the wrong path, idly, faithlessly? Or like a stray cat, minding his or her own business, in the free roaming world of cats, is there perhaps freedom in going astray? Lost or found. Fernando Pessoa said that false or fake happiness, said Pessoa -- whose surname means "person" -- false or fake happiness is still a kind of happiness, a happiness better than none. Hypocritical love. Well, at least it was love. All paths are one and no one goes astray. Yippie i yo tie yay. Don't be sad, if you're sad, that expressions of love or solidarity don't add up. There is no way to convince anyone of anything unless it's already a true heart's desire. Expressions express themselves and as in a true metaphysical mirror with no sides the lovers come to no end entangled there over the event horizon. True expressions dissolve in this embrace. If love is only human then take a chance and become human. If love is divinity and you learn to see the divine in all things then the earth within you opens up and everything appears alive, in vibration. All problems disappear. Everything is clear. All the sufferings of the martyrs are completed and peace is upon you to share as you wish. Everything is written in nature and in the soul's code. It's all out there unscrolling itself out and then winding itself back up again..."
Such were the thoughts that coursed through my head as I ventured out into the faint birdsong mist on the morning I thought I was dead.
Madhu means honey and sweet in Sanskrit and it is the name of a raga Madhuwanti although this album went astray from the original. Madhu is a word that sometimes refers metaphorically to soma, a divine intoxicating wisdom mood concept cuisine. Divine wine. The word has lingering flavor and resonance in other languages the word for Polish, miód, Bulgarian/Russian, med, Greek methi and it's even been said that the word for mead derives from madhu. Madhu is the stuff bees make and are made to make and meet flowers to conjure in a mystic life-supporting electrochemical dance. This batch is for you whoever you may bee."
