Ole Theill - Transparent - [Vinyl]

Formally, 'Transparent' was about three years in the making, the fruit of periodic dialogue between Ole and Brazillian-American composer Clarice Assad. For the 64-year-old Danish tabla-master, however, this is the album he's been composing in his mind for a lifetime. If Ole's tablas are the heart, providing the rhythmic drive and structure, then the string quartet is the nerve centre of the album. Arranged by Assad and performed by Danish collective Halvcirkel, they serve up compelling narratives of measured yet acrobatic motives. On 'Between Leaves', billowing like Egyptian cotton in mountain winds, or on 'Sunfoni', coiling like incense around the dancing tablas.
