Adamantine
Adamantine, the new album from Bill Forth, might best be described as post-modernist improvised music with balls. With touch points ranging from ambient to minimalist counterpoint, its spatial atmospheres and chiaroscuro textures stun, lull and amaze. Includes guest appearances by Pat Mastelotto (percussion) and Jeff Gauthier (violin). Produced by Ronan Chris Murphy. Track Listing: 1. Adamantine 2. Years Between The Great Wars 3. And Time Passed, Imperceptibly 4. We Are Dealing With Uncertainty 5. The Wide Sea , An Untamed Shore 6. The High Is Built By The Low 7. Mourning Doves 8. The Stream Of Our Life Forth is best known for his work with the modern progressive rock band, Ten Seconds. A duo comprised of Forth and composer/keyboardist/drummer Jeffrey Fayman, Ten Seconds released their eponymous debut album on Robert Fripp's Discipline Global Mobile label in 1996. Forth & Fayman's music has appeared in a wide range of media, from The Super Bowl to several movie trailers. Forth also is member of the ambient duo, Lives of the Saints, which includes Ronan Chris Murphy. In its review of Destroying Silence - An Introduction to Veneto West Records, L.A. Weekly commented that "Lives of the Saints hammers rusty nails into Eno ambient." In 2009, Forth appeared on Pomiedzy Cieniami (In Between the Shadows) a Polish release produced in collaboration with composer Radek Kordasiewicz, with poetry by Kasia Sokolowska. In addition to working with guitarist Peter Banks (Yes), Forth co-produced "Mark Craney - Something with a Pulse" featuring performances by James Taylor, Jethro Tull, Eric Burdon, Tower of Power, Ian Anderson, Fairport Convention, and others. In 2008, Forth published Maple Fudge and Booze, a chapbook of short pieces and poems. He is currently writing a longer work of fiction and performing solo concerts in support of Adamantine.
