Right to the Heart
Jamie Catto & Alex Forster
This evocative collaboration between Jamie Catto and Alex Forster reflects our deepest emotions—sadness and ecstasy, fear and courage—and the unchanging space in which they swirl. A compelling combination of electronic and organic world music, Internal brings us a powerful complement for movement or body-based practices.
Catto is a founding member of Faithless, whose greatest hits album was the fastest-selling dance album of all time in 2005. In 1999 he formed the double-Grammy nominated music and film project 1 Giant Leap. An audiovisual adventurer, Forster produces rich soundscapes that cross boundaries and fuse traditional acoustic and progressive electronic styles. Guest artists Lévon Minassian on duduk and Indian vocalists Revati Sakalkar and Nilesh Shinde enhance this top-notch recording. Underscoring the music is kinetic percussion, along with hang, sarod, lap steel guitar, sax, marimba, flute, clarinet and dulcimer.
The album began as music to discharge grief or pain and became an environment to contain us when we enter that dissolving space. Haunting, penetrating and ultimately freeing, it goes right to the heart through the opening of the emotional body. (Sounds True)
