Pelt - Ayahuasca (US free folk drone raga 2001)



derrière Pelt se cache Jack Rose (dont j'avais posté Kensington Blues, précédemment) et deux amis a lui, Mike Gangloff et Patrick Best. Véritables explorations soniques avec des instruments uniquement acoustiques, élaborant des drones naturels incroyables, une pure merveille pour voyagé au delà des portes de la perception.

Recorded over a period of more than two years at various live and studio sessions, this double-CD shows the heavily bearded Jack Rose, Mike Gangloff, and Patrick Best broadcasting from lesser-known and newly discovered corners of the drone-omniverse. Most striking about the record is the inclusion of several traditional tunes, arranged for the group's eclectic instrumentation. While Pelt have long performed acoustic material, Ayahuasca is the first release to fully explore this part of their repertoire. 'The Cuckoo' and 'Deep Sunny South' are traditional Appalachian numbers, played and sung with considerable skill and feeling. The sawing bowed acoustic guitar on the former and the rolling banjo and Tibetan bowl accompaniment on the latter draw a direct line between raw/folk traditions and the deep, visceral drone music that Pelt have specialized in over the past several years. Combining the two styles neatly, 'A Raga Called John' features Jack Rose's very fine country-blues/Fahey-influenced fingerstyle guitar over a shifting backdrop of hurdy-gurdy and concertina, before giving way to tanpuras overrun by fretless banjo. Of course, on top of all this easily comprehensible music there's plenty of ear-cleansing, ecstatic drone, from the two long floatation-inducing trios for bowed electrics and wall-shaking electric hurdy-gurdy mania of 'Bear Head Apparition.'
