was originally released by Bruton Music on recording BRR 18. It was conceived after the production of DREAMHOUSE, a music performance created by percussionist / composer Jon Keliehor for the World Music Village, at London’s Commonwealth Institute in 1983.
Dream House was an event far beyond the realm of normal music performance, a forerunner to the revolution in music now termed World Music. It was a fantasy frontier of complex world-music sounds, rhythmic textures, performed by eight London based percussionists. Very much ahead of its time and a great deal more than a collection of world culture influences.
Jon Keliehor, Orlando Kimber, Eddy Sayer and Simon Tassano have realised an exceptional recording of new percussion based music. These individuals were working at the forefront of the sampling generation, and it would simply be an understatement to say that this music is unconventional. It is truly unique.
