Singing Boundaries
bill tilland - alternative press - june,1997
more than anything else, the long title track on this cd recalls brian eno's on land. it evokes the same deep sense of place. the three members of his masters voice - randy grief, jeph jerman, and r. ktich are all veterans of the experimental music scene, and they are savvy enough the avoid the standard pseudo-ethnic formulas. yes, this music is sometimes tranquil, even pretty, and employs the commonly used hand percussion, flutes, synthesizers and modal scales. But just as often it also includes weird electronic scrabbling, rasping and chriping, plus the dry rattling of gourds and bones, and other indefinable but evocative messages from the spirit world. inspired by a yaqui indian legend involving four prophets, singing the boundaries has it's own ethnic center and manages to suggest the brooding, eerie stillness of the southwest desert and the presence of indigenous in habitants, human and beast, without ever reverting to a picturesque but generic musical travelogue. like the unjustly forgotten on land, and the best work of o yuki conjugate and jorge reyes, this communication from his masters voice inhabits the same physical and spiritual geography it descrbes.
