   Excerpt of "Fish Eyes Like Candy" by Leland Burr from
   their debut album Beeland Lure - back when Shane Shanahan was
   in Leland Burr (he's now with Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble)

 

Leland Burr is an improvisational trio formed by synthesist Larry Derdeyn. Percussionist/vocalist Geoffrey Brown (of the prog-rock group Paranoise) and vocalist Jim Cole round out the line up. Hover is their third collection of live improvs. This is a very organic sounding release. The electronics are kept to a minimum, with the players focusing on exotic acoustic timbres such as Tibetan singing bowls, steel cello, tamboura, kalimbas, etc. Minimal percussion loops snake in and out of the mix as the music draws into its ambient landscape....the beats are subtle, peaceful and understated.
