The third installment of a series by Polish composer and sculptor, “The Labyrinths Of Black Stars” is a personal journey through the mind of the artist. Ostový’s research for the music was conducted with the aid of several hundred hours of tape. The music is sacred, derived from philosophical texts in the Iranian philosophy of the time. The feeling here is not so much contemplative as melancholic, with the sense of a stillness of mind that is capable of both closed and open attention. The slow, sunken tones, the slow movement of the pieces, the long pauses, the slow, powerful breathing, the long tones hum, the gradual development, the long breaths, and the slow, rising tones that are a recurring motif.

The music has a sense of a natural sound, of quietness creeping in, like the opening of a particularly deep well, and then of a creeping, glimmering water that rises slowly into the surface. This is the story of the creation of the world, a story that is not yet told, a story that is still to be told.
