This is the debut solo album released in 2024 by the promising Australian multi-instrumentalist, Adam Halliwell. Recorded over a four-week period in early 2020, this work is rooted in an epiphanic moment experienced while traversing the mountainous regions of Mexico. Utilizing trumpet and a plethora of ethnic percussion instruments, Halliwell creates a forceful fusion of ethno-tribal jazz, consolidating a powerful sensory experience of complete auditory, visual, and spiritual integrity into a series of musical movements. The profound influence of Jon Hassell is notably evident throughout the album. It's fantastic from start to finish and comes highly recommended. Released through a collaboration between the emerging Australian archive label Fresh Hold Releases and Elations Recordings.
