On THE GATE by Terra Ambient, electronic musician Jeff Kowal
leaves the ranks of his synthesizer absorbed brethren to relate
his personal musical story through performances on a range of
exotic acoustic instruments. With this move, Kowal does achieve
multi-instrumentalist status, but does not stray too far from the
technology associated with more overtly electronic sounding
mind-music. Kowal brings to this genre of "Forth World"
tribal-ambient soundscapes an enthusiasm and accessibility
that is demonstrated in his album's energetic melodic content
and virtuoso musicianship. The mood emanating from THE
GATE is ceremonial, primordial and enigmatic. Leading the
listener across a range of musical terrain, from minimal and
dark to powerful and celebratory, THE GATE is a dynamic
cerebral journey to an internal place defined by the individual.
