Evan Bartholomew seeks an elite audience. His work
represents a vast range of expression through which smart
listeners will follow. Widely known as the techno artist Bluetech,
as well as by way of the wonderfully detailed 'Borderlands" CD,
Bartholomew stretches out even further with CAVERNS OF TIME
(72'03") - creating a sonic vocabulary drawn directly from his
personal memories and experiences. Considered by some his
"drone" work, CAVERNS OF TIME radiates a calming
atmosphere as hypnotic waves of sound build and recede. The
six pieces move fluidly across the gentle arc of existence, yet are
quite detailed in their architecture. This release is all about
nuance and the many moods this artist needs to convey.
Throughout the disc choir-like pads emerge and breathe, the
delicate sound of running water moves steadily beneath slow
echoing tone droplets and full-throated syth melodies wander
around the room. The heady track titles may prompt
introspection, but better the music acts as guide to an inner
destination.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from CAVERNS
OF TIME by Evan Bartholomew
