Michael Blake – The Silence of Patterns (CD MBED 003)

This album provides an overview of some of Michael Blake’s most popular works from the 1980s onward, mostly in live recordings. Several pieces have been used in films – notably Gautango from the 2006 cellphone movie SMS Sugar Man. 

Many of the pieces are from the composer’s African Journal, started in the 1970s and written for piano, percussion, guitar, string quartet, and other ensembles. 

These pieces draw on, or are influenced by, mbira or thumb piano music, one string uhadi bow music, kora, panpipe and xylophone music from several parts of Africa. The final track on the album, is provided by Rural Arias, unusually featuring the musical saw or singing saw.
