The composer and instrumentalist of
world music and kirtan known as Paul Best has released his latest LP
record, “No Boundarys.” The album contains eight original tracks
for an approximate total listening time of a full hour. It has been
proudly published on the Yatte Yattah Beat independent music label,
entirely without support from the corporate music industry.
Meditative, creative, calming and inspiring, “No Boundarys” is a
fulfilling listen for fans of New Age music, world music, and kirtan
music alike.
Known at home and abroad for playing
what is perhaps best described as world music, Paul Best cites as
main artistic influences mostly rock, such as that of Jimi Hendrix,
Led Zeppelin, the Cure, Radiohead, and Bob Dylan.
“I have always loved listening to
music,” writes the musician, who has been playing for more than
three decades. “My tastes have expanded over the years, taking in
many styles of music.”
This penchant for mixing his interests
and exploring new sonic territories is a key component of “No
Boundarys,” as the title succinctly communicates. Best's new LP
combines the traditional music styles of India with measured doses of
electronic instrumentation and innovative, unorthodox techniques.
Speaking of this, Best writes, “This
is an instrumental [record] that introduces sounds which most people
have never heard, i.e. sitar, and sitar played with a bow – which
turns it into a different instrument – combined with percussion and
keyboard.”
“No Boundarys” is the latest
addition to Paul Best's growing world-music and New-Age repertoire,
which contains eight CDs and DVDs. At different points his music has
contained elements of kirtan, reggae, pop, rock, jazz, and music for
meditation. He has performed as lead instrumentalist accompanying
most known instruments in the world, and continues to produce music
and background scores for film.
Hailing from the New South Wales area
of Australia, he has founded his own music studio where he provides a
low-pressure, high-tech recording service to small bands, as well as
facilitating the editing or transfer of old material (tapes, etc.) to
new mediums (CD, .MP3, etc.) [link provided below].
“Paul Best has created a relaxed
professional musical environment,” states the official bio for his
studio. “Being a particularly patient fellow, he caters to
musicians who are novices at the recording process.”
“No Boundarys” by Paul Best is
available online worldwide.
