_______________________________________________________________________
Another remarkable recording by the quirky Oregon
composer/performer Richard Crandell, whose first delightful CD
for Tzadik Mbira Magic hit several Best Ten lists for 2004.
Adapting and retuning traditional Shona instruments, Crandell
draws upon the work of Steve Reich, Terry Riley and John Fahey
to create a hypnotic minimalist world through the use of
repetition, variation and phasing. Charming and original, this
is beautiful and subtle music from a recently rediscovered
maverick composer out of the early days of west coast
minimalism.
Personnel:
Cyro Baptista: Percussion
Richard Crandell: Mbira
