Hermann Bühler’s Earth Bound, based on Native American materials and inspirations, is a a 40 minute composition with graphic notation outlining a structure for improvisation, the composer manipulating in real-time the prerecorded tracks of voice and percussion in combination with the unfolding live performances, creating an undulating and layering which surrounds the listener in the warm pulse of earth's center. Earth Bound unites the enormous vocal abbilities of the American singer Bonie Barnett and the strong and differenciated percussion of Swiss drummer Fredy Studer to an interesting combination of improvisation and composition -
afflicting,
ecstatic, entrancing.
