Shaman Ritual Series II: Golden Age
E.J. Gold
In the beginning was...the drum!
The Hi-Tech Shaman invokes his Golden Age in ritual, as clapping and footstamping rhythms give rise to percussion on sticks, rattles, re-kinto, congas, drum kit, tambourine, cymbals, brass bells.
In the studio ceremony, guitar, vibes and keyboard pick up the driving and mesmerizing formulas in sound.
This brand of magic lulls the rational mind, stills the body with sonic acupuncture, stirs the heart into unaccustomed co-operation.
If "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", then this recording of school music is a case of "choreography recapitulates historiography," allowing for a little macro-dimensional two-step by E.J. Gold
