STILL LIFE volume three (43'43") by Nelson Foltz + Tom Lynn
blurs the borders between eastern drone, jazz and ambient
music. One piece in three movements, STILL LIFE sustains a
mood of uneasy calm throughout its slow course. Murmuring
drones resonate and howl against each other as a subtle rhythm
gently propels this work. A probing lead melody mingles with
then emerges out of the dronescape. With the quality of a muted
horn the notes blow and snake through a dream of ancient rites,
modern omens, and extant hope. Stepping out of the endless
cycle of time as a voice from the now, the playing is lost in a
sense of the present. Foltz + Lynn realize their music as they play
it live, and are entirely taken over by the experience. Their STILL
LIFE series has risen out of a continual need for self-discovery -
as they stumble around in the dark of themselves.
Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from STILL LIFE
volume three by Nelson Foltz + Tom Lynn
