"Talented British multi-instrumentalist David Coulter creates a series of 13 somber, deeply resonant, sonic mediations. Coulter plays an array of instruments, including guitar, violin, ukulele, Theremin, mandolin, double bass/bass, didjeridu, mouth harp, musical saw, accordion, harmonium, and others. Mostly instrumental -- though sometimes accompanied by sung, narrated, or chanted vocals. Each piece has its own unique cinematic atmosphere, as if he's briefly tapped into an ongoing, transcendental stream of pre-existing sonic imagery. Low-key, low-tech, and intimate, Coulter's understated and organic music seems to search for something beyond itself-through the juxtaposition of colliding acoustic and electronic sounds, through the obsessively nuanced, ritualized grooves, and through the subtle interaction and improvisation of the wide assortment of players and collaborators. Intervention includes contributions from Marc Ribot, Steve Nieve (of Elvis Costello fame), Terry Edwards, Phil Minton and others."
