Free Music Review: This is not another Dracula soundtrack wannabe.
Hit: 5 Stars
Phillip Glass is the newest name on the list of my favorite 3 composers of all time, Bach and John Coltrane being the other two. I must admit, some Phillip Glass can bore the life out of living entity. This album sounds natural and resonates tremendously more-so than any album made by modern/traditional orchestral instruments. The flutes are my favorite, they pierce the air with massive strength but also have a round, very natural, and very warm sound. This album definitely lets you know how the indigenous people feel about nature.
Aguas da Amazonia Poster
A new work by this instrumental group from Minas Gerais. All 10 pieces were composed by American minimalist composer Philip Glass. Inspired by the rivers of the Amazon.Uakti's Aguas de Amazona is a splendid suite of liquid light manifesting itself in nine riverlike tunes that splash, wend, trickle, and gush toward the fantastical changeling closer, "Metamorphosis." A Brazilian ensemble, Uakti (pronounced wah-keh-chee) weave a chordal interplay of strings, woodwinds, and homemade percussion pieces that create complex and exotic contrapuntal melodies evoking both wind chimes and dancing water. Fittingly, the group takes its name from a mythic Amazonian creature who, as legend tells, was an enormous entity with holes running through its body, and as it would run through the forest, the wind would pass through its orifices, creating a magically beautiful music. Adding to the great pleasure of this project is the group's collaboration with renowned composer Philip Glass, whose experimental and classical blend finds itself well met in the enchanting hands of Uakti. Highly recommended for fans of Moondog, Harry Partch, Paul Winter, the Kronos Quartet, and Glenn Branca. --Paige La Grone
