Includes unlimited streaming of ripples via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Zel Zele are thrilled to announce the debut album of silhouwaves. ‘ripples’ is a solo project of London based Turkish multi-instrumentalist and producer Bora Dayanıklı. Ripples is a DIY, guitar led album performed using a combination of pedals, drum samples and Bora’s elevating poetic vocals. At its core silhouwaves loops his guitar into infinity and creates a sentimental space echoing the mysteries of space and time.

Ripples is inspired by 70s kraut, prog and psychedelic music. There are surprising eastern riffs throughout the album with kozmiche effects. Loops to ponder, edgy drum samples and perfectly produced modern vocal lines bring in a wow factor to the album. It feels like an old recording with a modern vocal edge.

“Sphere of light then returns back to its source, to that distant planet’s shore. All the while knowing it will forget everything it has experienced and only become one with that burning fire again. With it bringing the experience it has collected and inflaming this fire. This fire and this dance is on a forever loop, eternal.” - silhouwaves
