MICHAEL THOMAS BERKLEY

"ARCTIC"

Numinous Records

A wonderful work, this album by Michael Thomas Berkley. In it he has sculpted music inspired in the Arctic. Through the eleven themes of the CD, the listener can easily re-create in his imagination the desolate landscapes of the North Pole, the adventures, sometimes tragic, that its explorers experienced, and the atmosphere of this region, definitely as fascinating as it is hostile. By skilfully utilizing synthesizers, he creates icy textures, mysterious, near to cosmic Ambient, in the most unsettling parts of the work. Other themes could be labelled within the New Instrumental Music. There also are some touches of Classical Music and Jazz. To record "Arctic", the artist has been accompanied by a chamber music sextet from the Middlebury College conducted by Evan Bennett, besides Mike Freitas (percussion), Ari Langer (electronic violin) and Wayne Bennett (clarinet).
