Frontiers by George Wallace

Frontiers is an experience of travel, of motion through time as well as space. This alluring collection of expansive aural environments is a fresh, atmospheric mixture of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, imbued with sparkling musical motifs, luminous textures and organic ambiences blended so artfully that we are not sure from moment to moment whether we’re hearing pure music…or the music of pure nature.

Throughout Frontiers there are the sounds of electric violin, bagpipes, tamboura, gentle percussions, and some not-so-gentle. We can hear at various times the influences of Jan Hammer, Wendy Carlos, Weather Report, and Bill Nelson, as well as renowned space musicians Jonn Serrie, Michael Stearns, and Steve Roach. Whether it be through the sounds of a jazz-tinged ensemble piece, shimmering, interstellar spacecraft, an orchestral passage in full-rejoice, or a simple piano melody played against a wall of stunningly beautiful harmonics, the soaring, visionary music of Frontiers promises to intrigue and enrich us.
