Electronic musician Erik Wollo joins tribal-trance
percussionist Byron Metcalf for an elegant album
weaving melodic, vibrant soundscapes with subtle,
grounding rhythms.
Earth Luminous stirs the memory on an outing through
luminescent electronic ambient music where the ethereal
is anchored and activated by steady, tactile frame
drums and percussive patterns. Byron's
tight-to-the-grid substratum pulse serves as a conduit
to Erik's lush, emotive and expansive atmospheres.
Together, the two sonic explorers find a meeting place
where vapor trails and glowing man-made cityscapes
reveal that we, the modern humans, are the ones who
bring into existence the enlightened earth: our
explorations illuminate to bring cascading insight.
Erik and Byron met at SoundQuest Fest 2010 hosted by
Steve Roach in Tucson, AZ. Although they did not have
the opportunity to perform together, they were
impressed with each other's sets and discussed the idea
of collaborating on an album. After five years working
on their own solo music, the duo reconnected to record
this hybrid collaboration between continents and
cultures. The pieces bring together a vast selection of
synthesizers and electric guitars mixed with various
acoustic hand drums and percussion instruments. Seven
of the eight tracks were composed via audio files
exchanged from Norway to Arizona and back again; while
"Linked Stars," the final and most spacious track, was
recorded live in Byron's studio in Arizona.
Erik says: "My original vision with this project was to
combine my etheric elements with grounded and
reality-oriented rhythmic grooves (or patterns) as the
basic foundation for the music; a sound flowing freely
along with the currents all the time balancing the dark
with the light. I have worked with many drummers over
the years, but with Byron everything fell into the
right place. He's been a professional musician for over
five decades and has worked with some of the best
players you can imagine. One of his real strengths is
his ability to create the absolute right solutions for
any melodic or rhythmical texture, making the
arrangements complete. I noticed very quickly that he
has a certain skill of playing towards and supporting a
leading melody - a skill only an experienced drummer
can understand."
The dramatic images of the album cover reflect the
music's contemplative and timeless perception of our
planet. Seeing the world from above from an airplane's
cockpit (in photos taken by pilot Ian Dutton) reveals
reflective perspectives of the earth below: a
magnificent visual confluence of the sky and the
glittering nighttime urban city lights.
Earth Luminous' lustrous soaring themes, moving
electronic drones, and bedrock rhythmic patterns drift
and unfold in a lush electronic treatment of modern
instrumental music. Cycles of layered synthesizers,
harmonies, introspective slow-motion soundscaping,
vibrant acoustic percussion, and illuminated electric
guitar produce expansive and fluid tracks. The results
are deeply thoughtful, seductive musings upon a radiant
earth.
