Tom Rossi Salma Har CD (2005) Digipak
Call Of Nature: Wind Chimes album. Tom Rossi's multi-instrumental forays (he plays over a dozen instruments) link continents and nations in ways only music can achieve. The title track, "Salma Har," blends programmed loops with a cornucopia of exotic, often unidentifiable instruments. On this track and others, the synthetic mixes well with the acoustic since the electronics have a gritty, organic feel to them. The wordless vocals are central to this release's conception and realization. Songs such as "Resolutions" and "Agni" feature Rossi's own voice, which is set against a wealth of multicultural rhythms and penetrating chordal hues. Overall, this music is a remarkable blend of European, South American, and African modalities, together with a good dose of American pop and an unique flair for the ambient. This is a compelling set of tunes, if only because Rossi attempts to fuse together disparate musical traditions in a personal, often spiritual, fashion. ~ Eric Starr
