John McCabe - Piano Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

My Morning Jacket has sold over a million albums in the US alone. Their latest album debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200. REGIONS OF LIGHT AND SOUND OF GOD was written, produced and all instruments performed by Jim James (with the exception of strings and percussion) in Lousiville, KY. The music on the album Is inspired by life and the novel in woodcuts GODS MAN by Lynd Ward.

Good Medicine - what we strive for our music to be. The natural reverberations of earth and sky. From time before time humans have been creating music for healing To balance psycho - emotional pathways, to harmonize the cellular vibrations of the body, to expand consciousness itself. This way of wisdom was shared with US by the elders of this music as the essential approach to creativity. The mix - bands of tin are wrapped around the tongue keys of the thumb piano, the metal sarsara rattle is inserted into the end of the Gnawa sintir, a gut string is strung across the skin of the brekete drum. Throughout much of Africa musician-healers have used these and other methods to alter the voice of their instruments so when played, a parallel Inchshadow lineInch of sound is heard. These rhythm overtones are sometimes called Inchthe voice of the ancestorsInch and are linked to the transcendent quality of the music. In recent years, artists like Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and Congotronics used newer technologies for this. The music on this recording was mixed with this idea in mind. The sounds of the instruments are allowed to resonate into deep space, creating a shadow world of harmonic colors. As the music unfolds each instrumental voice sings into this space adding to the dance of orchestration and form.
