Editorial Reviews
At the 6th World Wilderness Congress in Bangalore in October, 1998, a cross-cultural musical collaboration was arranged, between clarinetist David Rothenberg, also an environmentalist and writer, and the internationally celebrated Karnataka College of Percussion, under the direction of master drummer T.A.S. Mani and featuring is wife, R.A. Ramamani, on vocals. The group has had much experience performing world music fusions in Europe, with the German group Dissidenten and the American expat saxophonist, Charlie Mariano. They have previously recorded on the ECM and Intuition labels. Rothenberg has three previous CDs out, on the New Tone and Accurate labels. Jazziz named his 1995 release ON THE CLIFFS OF THE HEART one of the ten best CDs of the year, and Milo Miles has praised his "stunning virtuosity" on NPR's Fresh Air. BAND_MEMBERS: B.N.

Product Description
The rushing pulse of the thunderous drumming of South India. The mellifluous voice of R.A. Ramamani, the clarinet bending and sliding into a foreign world of sound. This is a mixture of global virtuosity, celebrating wildness in music and wilderness in the world.
File under: world music, global fusion, improvisation with a groove.
The CD includes a sixteen-page booklet with a detailed essay on the unique story behind the recording, and how music can make a difference in the environmental crisis.
The first three pieces are from the classical South Indian repertoire of the Karnataka College of Percussion. The second two present Rothenberg's own mixture of spoken word, electronics, ghatam rhythms and clarinet explorations. The final four pieces represent the heat of the musical melange, featuring a blend of rehearsal takes and live cuts from the standing-room only concert at the great hall of the Bangalore Hotel.
