URUK
comes from the meeting in 2016 of two totally unclassifiable musicians:
Thighpaulsandra
and
Massimo Pupillo
. Thighpaulsandra has an impressive track record particularly playing on many
Coil
albums. Traces of this influence can be found in the keyboards used on
Mysterium Coniunctionis
. You could randomly pick such masterpieces as the two volumes of
Musick To Play In The Dark
(1999) and
Astral Disaster
(1999), records that were and still are among the best ambient albums ever made. He has also made several records in his own name (including the unpredictable
Double Vulgar
) and was a member of the
UUUU
project, which also featured a particularly creative
Graham Lewis
(
Wire
). Massimo Pupillo is well-known for having slammed a lot of ears as the bassist with the highly imposing Italian jazzcore trio
Zu
(those who saw them on stage will understand). 2009's
Carboniferous
or the more recent 2014 collaboration with
Eugene Robinson
(
Oxbow
) still resonate for a lot of listeners. In 2016, Massimo was in
Triple Sun
(no doubt a reference to the splendid song by Coil, again) alongside two well-known musicians at Ici D'ailleurs:
Raphaël Séguinier
and
David Chalmin
(
The Third Eye Foundation
). URUK also and especially brought out their first album in 2017:
I Leave A Silver Trail Through Blackness
. This is an imposing piece of dark ambient music in which the two musicians proved that they are more than just the sum their respective experiences. They are sound explorers obsessed by grasping the detail that shifts listeners from one world to another. Their second album,
Mysterium Coniunctionis
makes direct reference to the eponymous and testamentary work of the psychiatrist
Carl Jung
, subtitled
An Inquiry Into The Separation And Synthesis Of Psychic Opposites In Alchemy
. It clearly reflects the duo's intention to create particularly immersive and meaningful music from supposedly opposing materials -- in this case the meeting of electronic and organic sounds. The record is released as part of Ici D'ailleurs's Mind Travels collection.
