专辑简介

Deviant Shakti is an excursion into the depths of the imaginative territories of melody and percussion. The deep voice of the viola and its sonic territories covers a wide emotional spectrum, as it sings and flows over the articulate textures of masterful drumming and percussive backdrops. From Shamanic Guidance to Atomized Ascention, the music is rich and far reaching in it's elegant and understated virtuosity. Master musicians, these two, and combining a confederate to yankee sentamentality, the roots element of ethnic, folk, and classic marry to form a music sublime in color, pulse and melodic mission. LaDonna is an improvisational specialist in making the viola melt into transterrestrial explosions, as well as a melody master, from whence ribbons emotive phrasing exude from underground just the great rivers find the ocean. Evan's never misses a step, his articulate drumming, in a polyrhythmic landscape of crackles, sizzle, pop and punch kick the melodist into a duel of rebel autarchy and nomadic search, always arriving at higher ground. From the earthy sounds of wood, water, air and metal to the sonic vibrations of the theremin matched pitch to pitch with violin, the songstress meets the march, line for line in an intimate musical entertwining of spirit and soul. Beauty is a word to describe these free improvisations between playful per'cussing perfection and lovely southern warmth, a Shakti deviant!
