In both releases Fabrice Lefebvre and Gerard Chambellant play traditional Tibetan and Indian instruments such as the santoor, the yang t'chin, gongs and bells in a way that resembles ritualized devotional music, rather than actual songs. This is often discreetly embellished by synthesizer passages, and galvanic rhythmic patterns. Jeanne Lefebvre's marvelously operatic vocals sound like she's channeling the voices of spirits. You feel as if you are witnessing some clandestine, ancient ritual." ===== Craig L.

She's kicking off this season's "concerts under the stars" series (though chances are this one will be a "concert in the rain", but hey). woj, myself and JeffW will be there, probably as close to the front as possible since we'll be getting there way too early. ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 20:44:16 -0500 (CDT) From: "Mitchell A.

The show's website, www.midnightspecial.org, has a search engine that will list tracks of theirs (or of any other artist) that the show has played.
