Frore & Shane Morris
Blood Moon (Spotted Peccary, 2015)
Blood Moon takes into the realm of ethno ambient music, the electronic music subgenre that brings together acoustic instruments, tribal rhythms and drifting layers of electronic sounds. This style was pioneered by Steve Roach and Robert Rich in the United States and now we have two new talents who have ventured into the world of mesmerizing music.
Frore is the artistic name of Paul Casper, a self-taught electronic musician from Virginia Beach, Virginia. He fell in love with electronic music sounds after a school trip to the planetarium. Frore plays keyboards, duduk, singing bowls, mandolin, Anasazi flute, cane flute, electronic percussion.
Shane Morris is a percussionist and synthesist who regularly at City Skies Planetarium, electronic music festivals and live on the Internet. Shane Morris plays didgeridoo, udu, frame drum, electronic percussion, shakers, chromatic flute, Navajo cedar flute, Absynth and reactor synthesizers.
Paul and Shane share a mutual love of what they describe as the rhythmic tribal ambient genre, both as fans and as composers. “We wanted to help keep that tradition of rhythmic, ethnic instrumentation, and trance-inducing ambient music alive and evolving,” says Morris.
Blood Moon brings together two musicians who are the forefront of the new wave of shamanic and tribal ambient music.
