Mathias Grassow - The Secrets Of Chartres
Review by Phil Gowling
The Secrets of Chartres by Mathias Grassow is an exceptional album that showcases the artist's mastery of ambient music. The album is a journey through the mystical and sacred spaces of the Chartres Cathedral, and it is evident that Grassow has put in a great deal of effort to capture the essence of this holy place.
The album comprises seven tracks, each of which is a unique representation of the cathedral's energy and atmosphere. Grassow's use of various instruments, including bells, chimes, and synthesizers, creates a soundscape that is both ethereal and haunting. The music is slow and deliberate, allowing the listener to immerse themselves in the ambiance of the cathedral.
The Secrets of Chartres is an album that demands attention and patience. It is not the kind of music that one can listen to while doing other things. Instead, it requires the listener to sit and absorb the sounds, allowing themselves to be transported to the sacred spaces of Chartres.

Notes
- The Cathedral of Chartres is a small wonder and certainly one of the most remarkable churches in the world. In addition to all kinds of inexplicable things, we also find such special features as the labyrinth embedded in the ground. Anyone who is able to get involved in the miracle of this church will be filled with the idea that grandeur and silence can go hand in hand with joy.
- The tracks are composed between 2012, with additions in 2019 - The complete mix and refreshing was done in may 2019.
- Based on ancient shamanic ceremonies and free live improvisation.
- A very gentle hand made the archaic sound audible without destroying it by sterility. The roughness and the impetuous analogue sound is exactly wanted so!
- Dedicated to NOTRE DAME de Paris.
- This album can be heard in direct connection with my "Harmonia mundi" :
- "As a part of the harmonia mundi journey, the 'Chartres' album once more explores the deep mystery of mystical space.The powerful effect of the cathedral is in the LIGHT, which fills the space of the cathedral like a rhythmic fluid, comparable to the dark-red-violet light of gothic domes....This evokes the cleansing of our hearts within their worlds of truth, wisdom and love."
