Mopti : createWOW 003

mopti
Create

This album was produced as part of the band's Year of the Artist residency at Bristol's Create Centre (the south-west's centre for sustainable development), and features material written in response to the Centre and its philosophies.

Loop-based improvisations (which unfold hypnotically in a kind of ambient slow-motion) alternate with atmospheric shorter compositions.

Review

"The evening was faultless. Watching them, you were drawn completely into their multimedia vision, totally focused yet lulled into a distant world. The musicianship was excellent...When they were done, it was a bit of a shock to find we were still in Hotwells on a chilly English evening."

(Venue Magazine, reviewing mopti's final gig of the Create Centre residency).

Release date: March 2002
