about

Aural Films continues the epic project to document the Japanese Zodiac (Junishi) Animal Time with 24 hours of ambient music in a series of releases that will reflect all twelve of the signs.

The 9th release of our Junishi series is dedicated to 'SARU- Monkey' and reigns over 15-17 o'clock in Japanese horology.. 'Saru is calculating and intelligent, mischievous, vain and restless. Skin to the human spirit and passions', as a specialist in the matter, Mark Schumacher, states in his excellent www.onmarkproductions.com. Moreover, Saru is thought to be protector against evil spirits in Japan, and serving as such as messenger of the mountain god of mount Hiei, one of the most sacred places in Shinto belief. Maybe even our famous three monkeys ('hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil') may have originated from an ancient belief as guardians of sacred places... ward off evil spirits - listening to 'Saru'.
