about

BEST CLASSICAL ALBUM 2001

Includes a bonus CD featuring 9 field recordings made by Jack Body that served as the source material for the compositions on Pulse.

Jack Body travelled to remote locations across the Pacific Rim and beyond documenting living folk music traditions. In the footsteps of such masters as Bartok, he recorded, collected, transcribed, then recreated his experiences in a Western musical context.

The original sources are revealed fully on a bonus disc. The composer’s transcriptions reflect the varieties of rhythm, melody, colour, and that fundamental life-force, pulse, which unites all musics, all people, all life.
