PURCHASE INFORMATION

East Meets West reveals whole
new territories in thematic
percussion music. It is a
uniquely visual music existing
outside of conventional ideas
and genre.

East Meets West (1984) was originally released on Bruton

Music, BRR18, bringing the collaborative efforts of Jon

Keliehor, Orlando Kimber, Eddy Sayer and Simon Tassano

together after performances of Keliehor's "DreamHouse" at

the World Music Village Festival, Commonwealth Institute,

London in 1983.

 

The recordings are performance based. Enhanced by engineer

Tassano's sound designs, they display a potent collection of

music ideas, melodic rhythms from a large, world-based

collection of mainly percussion instruments. Working at the

forefron of the sampling generationthese individuals forged

music very much ahead of its time.
