Beautiful modern Mandinka music by John Haycock played on Kora, clarinet and electronics featuring percussionist/drummer Domi Chansorn on two songs. A fluid progression from ‘Didiymus’, Dorian Portrait is an elegantly composed work of sonic art. Haycock demonstrates his ability to establish a visceral experience with meditative flows that soothe the soul. Listen with a good pair of headphones.

This 20 minute beast of a track is one of those bits of audio that's so intense and striking that I can't tell whether or not I've heard it before. I remember the first time I heard Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape, I was convinced Akon's "wee-oohs" were a sample from some 60s Beach Boys-type rock group. Similarly, this Indonesian Monkey Chant feels straight out of a 2000s party anthem, you can almost hear Pitbull yelling "Mr. Worldwide!" Sometimes a song just hits you square on and blows past quaint notions like memory, history, time, space.
Listening to this in the car, my daughter asked what instrument they were using. It's vocals! The alpha and omega of instruments.
