Martial Solal
Locomotion

A mysterious sound aurora on the magical paths of the infinite universe of percussion, originally released in 1985 and then almost completley lost. The well-educated drummer Tiziano Tononi, together with David Searcy and Jonathan Scully, while working at the temple of classical music, Il Teatro alla Scala of Milano decides to realize a personal compendium of sounds using only purcussion instruments. The recording offers to us an amazing concert of sounds with acoustic purity, in perfect balance between wild rhythm and deep relaxation. Ecstatic elements of Japan ambient minimalism dialogue with contemporary musical solutions (Varese, Ligeti), in the stream of a harmonious fusion of ancient and modern. It’s a propitiatory ceremony of supernatural happenings that open portals of blissfulness, tribal and shamanic darkness, and,timeless jungles. Between amazon fires and African safaris, we float in the Asian rivers of meditation, lost in water games, echoes of caves and rocks in the night, synergies of frogs, birds, snakes, marimbas, chimes, gongs, and wooden drums.crédits

Represencing was Joshua Abrams' second album back in 2012, and it is still a collection of superb avant-jazz. ❤The record is filled with deeply involving grooves, pulsing energies and his tracks are rich with a kaleidoscopic interplay of sensory perceptions that mangle space and time. The album';s centre piece was once again the guimbri, a North African bass lute which the artist first started to play during the late 90s after a trip to Morocco. It makes for a record with healing qualities as it empties your mind of everything and places you in the here and now, the twisting and turning of Joshua's amazing rhythms.
