“There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.”
Hermann Hesse

This album is a modest try of returning the spirit of Renaissance into the present age. ‘The Eclipse of Planet’s Beauty’ is about all of us – about extinction of nature and going deeper and deeper into the virtual world, about cruel wars and modern philosophy, humanism in nowadays perception and nuclear sunsets, ancient mythologies and cities of the future – the things we are facing often feeling strange or unanswered, but the things we are rushing toward like into the first summer rain. This artwork is some kind of reply to this so fast changing world, or maybe to our so morphing way of life. Sometimes the ages of past are much more closer than they appear and the delicate sculptures are much more alive than it may seem. The same as heavenly bodies change their orbits, slowly but insuperable, civilizations are moving round, some of them still afraid of themselves. It’s like seeing the moon in the sky by day through the gentle resistance of crystal ice, like watching the stars in the antique observatory lying in deep grass. It’s like a glass sphere in the storm, like an organ prelude passing through the waves of biosphere. Let the music describe all this feelings the best.

The album guides the listener into the impressive and psychedelic trips through the forests around the Baltic sea, through the leaves and lakes, through baroque forest lights, the stars and the shadows, where you will never feel alone, where all the way at warm summer nights and foggy autumn mornings is full of beautiful emotions and transparent feelings – the things, that are not changing with the centuries.

“Kur Zeme” is a project of Mahi Bukimi, started at 2003. Stylistic directions of it can be described in many ways – neoclassic, synth-ambient with the elements of nature music, as well as psychedelic improvisations, new age and impressionism. It is hard to define the feeling of roomy seas and forests, karmic emptiness and joy, gothic and infospace, if you are using the rational words Composer leaves this “task” to the listeners. “Kur Zeme” is a word play in Latvian. “Kurzeme“ is one of the historical districts of Latvia, but “kur zeme” means “where the land is”. Artist is looking for the balance in using modern equipment and feeling the nature, making an electronic music and composing in traditions of the baroque musician.
