Sea of Sky |
||
![]() |
The
double CD set from Second Sufis, Sea of Sky, takes some significant departures
from past releases. Each disc in the set includes arranged rock compositions
to complement the loop-based improvisations. The compositions feature the
use of vintage Mesa Boogie guitar and bass amplifiers that, along wtih trap
drummer Eric Farantino and vocalist Jerome Pier, give the electric sound
more depth, presence and authenticity. Listen as a tidal wave of odd meter
tension crashes over you, a riptide of shredding sound. Sea of Sky also
includes some pieces featuring acoustic guitar with Chapman Stick. This
combination of instruments creates a rich palette of sounds that have not
really been heard before and produces an effect not unlike that of sunlight
reflecting off rippling water. Classic Second Sufis jamming is also featured.
Rhythmic grooves grow from a variety of exotic percussion including clay
jar drums, dhumbek, slit drum and tabla; over which exotic horns, didgeridoos
and a unique ceramic instrument called the horn-drum create
their evocative and mysterious textures. Over these, Les Paul and Chapman
stick complete a collection of impressionist soundscapes that range from
atmospheric to oceanic. Simply put, Sea of Sky is Second Sufis at their
zenith, including highly accessible tunes in the progressive rock, world
music, psychedelic, and ambient genres.

What's Second
Sufis' Pearl like? Consider the musical space between Jon Hassell's
fourth-world Possible Musics and the crimsonesque side of progressive rock
- with a complement of exotic percussion, horns, and other assorted world
music instruments
coexisting harmoniously within a synchronized multiple tape-loop framework.
