Salvador Ferreras, a Canadian percussionist/composer with Puerto Rican/Venezuelan roots. He is probably best known for "To Drive In L.A.", which combines stateless beat improvisation and electronics. This is his next work, released in 1992, which returns to Latin/Carribean music and includes sessions and live recordings with local Vancouver musicians. Total 12 tracks include primitive session of "East of Eaton's” with Peking Opera brass gongs and Filipino cowbells that resulted from an acoustic expedition combining box drums and string bass, a track that depicts an imaginary trip to Olinda, a coastal town in Brazil, with a large number of percussion instruments, and improvised Afro-Latin jazz "The Tropic of Casual" with transitions. The style of this work is different from previous work, but it seems to show his bare sensibility. Cassette edition.
プエルトリコ/ベネズエラのルーツを持つカナダ人打楽器奏者/コンポーザーSalvador Ferreras。驚きを持って発掘された電子音響と打楽器を組み合わせた”To Drive In L.A.”で大きく知られましたが、本作は次作に当たるラテンに回帰しながら地元バンクーバーのミュージシャンとのセッションやライブ音源を交えた92年リリース作品。ボックスドラムと弦ベースを組み合わせる音響探検から辿り着いた北京オペラ金管ゴングとフィリピンのカウベルによるプリミティブなセッションの記録”East of Eaton's”、大量の打楽器諸々を持ち込みブラジル沿岸の街Olindaへのイマージナルトリップを描いた楽曲からトランジションを交えた即興アフロラテンジャズまで全12曲を収録。前作とは趣向が違いますが彼の剥き出しの感性が現れた音源集。カセット版にて入荷しました。
