Jon Durant/Anatomy of a Wish
ArtShop
On our Alchemy Records page <http://www.artist-shop.com/alchemy> we
have a new release from the Alchemy Records founder, Jon Durant,
called Anatomy of a Wish. Anatomy of a Wish is the third, and most
evolved of Durant’s CDs as a leader.
Building on the foundations begun with Silent Extinction Beyond the
Zero, Durant has climbed to new levels of compositional and
improvisational creativity. Working more closely with his percussion
counterpart, Vinny Sabatino, JD created a series of spaces which are
at times breathtakingly beautiful, darkly disturbing, and visually
arresting. The percussive work was the result of many hours spent
exploring the sonic possibilities of a wide range of percussive
instruments, and building complex rhythm tracks by layering these
instruments together.
Durant’s guitar playing continues to play a dominant role, exploring
sonic realms that few guitarists have trekked before. Further aided by
master bassists Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Liquid
Tension Experiment, and many many others) and Michael Manring, Durant
has created an innovative soundscape that is unlike any other music on
the planet.
The music on Anatomy of a Wish straddles jazz, new age, progressive
rock, and ambient without ever firmly landing in one spot. This cross
fertilization leads to confusion when trying to label the music, but
is the hook that grabs the listeners’ attention and takes them along
for a mesmerizing trip.
