The Roswell Incident

The Roswell Incident transports the listener on a journey of sound exploration through Hang drum rhythms. Solo and layered Hang pieces weave through myriad moods ranging from simple and elegant to complex Tabla-like polyrhythms. Other songs employ additional instruments that complement the Hang including Randy's masterful Native American flute playing, Didgeridoo, Percussion, Vocal Harmonies and even a muscular Spoken Word reading on Dance at the Totem. Granger evokes new sounds from the Hang using alternative playing styles like using the bottom "Gu" side for a deep "Udu-like" bass trance beat and percussive finger work, even samba-like slides. The Roswell Incident is a sonic road trip through an inspired, mesmerizing landscape. Playful songs sit comfortably next to introspective meditations like Spiral in Beauty and Gu Groove. Powerful vocals, Didgeridoo and Flamenco rhythms make for a stunning blend on Mi Corazon and give the song a truly epic, cinematic quality. After your first abduction you'll volunteer for more journeys taking the listener to a deeper place again and again. - John Pascuzzi, www.oddmusic.com
