Press Reviews Review of Brian E. Paulson's CD'Endo Ecto Morphoby Kate Jenkins.http://bluemarble.net/kate/scene/ Brian E. Paulson is a multi-instrumentalist basedin Elwood Indiana. His new CD'Endo Ecto Morpho'depicts Lewy the Lump putting some redheaded kid ina headlock...To refer to Mr. Paulson as a multi-instrumentalist may be a bit of an understatement.The total number of instruments at his command was 230at last count.Included are Lakota flutes, Australian didgeridu,Middle Eastern Duduck,Hawaiian xaphone and others. The disc alsofeatures some stunning production and perfect musicianship.The result is future pop a jazz-influenced batch of instruments that borrowsfrom far too many genres to be easily classifiable. Ther are ocassional momentsof moody new age,poprock,tribal,proto-funk,and sci-fi.Such categories thoughare merely generalizations and can only hint at the variety within. In more rock moments of this CD, I was remindedof Toto in both musical Progressions and mix production-however we're talking Toto with a lot more texture and mood.I don't want too many comparisons though. I dowant to mention the guitar work if indeed that is a guitar in track2rock a sore assis breathtaking especiallywith volume cranked. Incidentally,this track was awinner in Keyboard Magazine's 20th anniversarykeyboard competition. My girlfriend made the comment a couple of times that some of the tracks would fit well into Rayman so perhaps that's worth mentioning(She's a Rayman fanatic so coming from her that's a huge compliment.) If any of this sounds intriguing to you, Check out Brian's web page.WWW.music-for-the-soul.com It features what he calls"personal attunement music"whose stated intention is to "remind ourselves of our connectionto a higher source and our need to heal and uplift theconsciousness of the Universe. Brian has producedmusic for a number of television and radio productions as diverse as Union Federal Savings Bank,Coca-Cola,and Curry Buick Cadillac. *Brian informs me the processed guitar tone is actually '" a multi-velocity sample of a strat(pure clean tone that morphoed intoa muted clean strat.)This was recorded in realtimethrough a RP-1 and a Morley volume-wah. The solo was a spontaneousfirst take(no loops and no overdubs.)
