MARCO SHUTTLE
COBALT DESERT OASIS
MARCO SHUTTLE'S THIRD ALBUM, COBALT DESERT OASIS, FEATURES A VARIED COLLECTION OF MUSIC RECORDED ACROSS A TWO YEAR PERIOD. OFTEN TRAVELING TO REMOTE DESTINATIONS, MARCO WOULD COME BACK TO BERLIN WITH FIELD RECORDINGS, IMAGES, AND OTHER INSPIRATIONS TO PROCESS IN HIS STUDIO AND TURN INTO SOUND.
THE ALBUM IS RICH IN COMPLEX RHYTHMICS, AND MORE THAN IN ANY OF HIS PREVIOUS WORK, HAS STRONG ACOUSTIC ELEMENTS. AMONGST OTHER PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS, MARCO USED THE TOMBAK, A TRADITIONAL PERSIAN HAND DRUM CAPABLE OF REACHING A VERY WIDE RANGE OF FREQUENCIES - FROM DEEP ROUND SUBBY TOMS, TO HIGH PITCHED SHARP RIMSHOTS, THROUGHOUT THE RECORD.
