Regarding Horizon, the third collaboration between Frore & Shane Morris, two things are for sure – 1: music is exceptionally powerful when it can evoke a clear sense of place, and 2: I never thought I would be part of a project that featured an Aztec Death Whistle – but here I am.

On Horizon, Frore (aka Paul Casper) and Shane Morris blend organic, electronic sounds and fuse together ambient synthesizers, tribal percussion and traditional instruments such as Navajo flute, fujara and the aforementioned Aztec death whistle. You can almost smell the dry, parched cracked earth of the petroglyph-dotted desert – at the horizon line where it meets the azure-blue sky.

It was my pleasure to collaborate with Paul and Shane once again on Horizon, creating artwork for physical CD, digital release and video pieces.

As tribal rhythms entrance the listener, ethereal synthesizers enrapture with the thrill of the unknown, with the promise of discovery—to capture perfectly the essence of the horizon: the place where earth meets the sky.
