"Even without detecting in the figure of the refugee or exile the emblematic figure of our time, the loosening of the bonds with a place of origin is no longer rewarded by a search for a promised land. The loss of a deep-rootedness that would provide an identity is no longer perceived as a lack that needs to be filled. We strangers in our own land, and conversely we feel at home everywhere." ~Mario Perniola, Ritual Thinking (tr. Massimo Verdicchio). The Italian philosopher Mario Perniola, in his 2001 essay collection titled 'Ritual Thinking' cited above, dug deep into what it means to be on the go and somewhere in between. Transience becomes tangible. What was self-evident fades away without making room for new habits. Perniola's words run like a thread through 'A Basement Suite,' the longest work on this portrait album by Tim Mariën, and resonate throughout the Belgian composer's entire sound world. Mariën's music settles in Perniola's liminal world, between borders. Here too, musical self-evidences are called into question. Here too the listener can make a landscape of tones their own while listening and wandering.
