This
collection of music is a beguiling interpretation of an age when
history was recorded on the walls of caves. With its loping percussion
rhythms and unhurried arrangement it perfectly recalls life when
time was marked by the sun and modern technology was a hand axe.
Each
track evokes an ancestral time of shaman and tribes respecting
and honoring their survival instincts and humanity through harsh
climates with all its physical dangers.
The
album captures Clark's love for organic elements and uncluttered
aesthetics. Traces of birdcalls, ancient instruments, and environmental
ambiance provide a natural texture to the music.
With The Man Who Painted Caves, David Antony Clark, the artist
and historian, continues to chronicle life and history - much
like the men who painted caves.
