Joe
Townsend
and Martin Green have recorded an album of rare
music that walks through the hinterland of jazz, folk, and contemporary
music on violin, guitar, accordion, and an array of rarely heard
instruments such as Mongolian cello, octave violin, musical saw
and Fender Rhodes. Its influences draw from the raw power and mystery
of Duke Ellington and Romanian gypsy music, through the hypnotic
minimalism of John Adams and Steve Reich and into the darker regions
of English folk music. Through imaginative recording techniques
such as the placing of tiny microphones inside instruments, playing
the accordion through rotating speakers and using vintage keyboards
they have produced a unique voice which is constantly changing yet
somehow familiar. More info>>
