Product Description
Heavy Forest Air is a live spontaneous musical collaboration between Eugene Skeef and Rae Howell (Sunwrae). Recorded live by Jared Miller in the Rolston Recital Hall at The Banff Centre, Alberta Canada, it was an impulsive venture in this magnificent hall filled with percussion instruments, that began as an experiment following an intensive three month winter music residency. The three tracks are suitably bound by Eugene's stylish labyrinth of rhythms on all things percussive and Rae's minimalistic prowess on marimba and vibraphone. Their sound, coupled with Jared's keen ear for innovative recording techniques, makes this record a rare treat and an absolute delight to listen to. The artistic fellowship that binds these three maestros together has not waned in the seven years since their initial meeting; hence they are finally releasing this record of sublime colours, rich textures and intricate rhythms, for public airing. Rae says, Heavy Forest Air has been waiting for this moment for a long time and its something that we're all very proud of. After such a long time apart living in different countries, we thought it's about time to get it out there! Heavy Forest Air is a mellifluent sound world, unclassifiable, yet superbly ceremonious. Eugene serendipitously changes between udu, congas, gongs, water bowls and many other drums, providing solid, yet continuously surprising rhythmic backbones to Rae's creations on melodic percussion. It is perfected crafted, yet unexpected. I am delighted by this work~ it is comforting and uplifting, bringing the listener into the weave of music & stillness. Dave Ellwand, BBC Radio Merseyside "This music carries us into mystery and awe. It is music of peace and endurance, of strength and wisdom
Customer Reviews
HEAVY FOREST AIRI first encountered Rae’s work on YouTube, “Rae Howell on vibraphone plays Decipher the Crooked Ways” :[...]I was impressed with the complexity of her mallet work. I liked the tune so much I purchased the sheet music from her website: Digital Pill.[...]When Heavy Forest Air was released I couldn’t find any music samples. Eventually I went ahead and ordered the disc. My hesitation had been a concern that the music might be just high speed “look at how fast we can go!” I was VERY pleased with the pace of the rhythms that allow enough space between the notes for creativity to flow in. I like how the two artists give each other room to come forward and carry the music with interactive support. All three tracks work well for concentrated listening or for back ground music. Oh yes, don’t forget to turn on the sub woofer. There’s a rather large drum knocking about down below!Congratulations on your work to both of you.Excellent work Rae. Cheese! :)I encourage others to try this music and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
