Josie
Quick (violin) and Tom Carleno (guitar) are Perpetual Motion. That is their
band name however they are literally in perpetual motion from start to finish on
their upcoming release Rear View.
The combination of Josie’s progressive melodic violin
playing and the gentle, rhythmic and Latin influenced guitar provided by
partner Tom Carleno makes for sweet music.
The broad strokes of sound painted on their musical canvas is the
perfect marriage of sound, color, and vibrations. This all blends to become
soothing and mind and mood altering sounds. This is all natural with no
additives, it is acoustic world fusion with jazz added for spice and snap. So,
sit down and enjoy a homemade recipe of music straight from the magical fingers
of two very talented souls.
Every track covers an eclectic mix of sounds with jazzy
overtones placed in all the right spots. “Blind Man’s Bossa” is a good example
of intermingling of genres reaching a full boil then flowing over the sides but
oh does it taste so good. This is full of jazz tones and with addition of the
violin it sounds progressively familiar channeling some of the greats such as
Ponty and Ragsdale.
“Northern Lights” was another track that touched my senses
and gave me a shot of energy that was gladly accepted. The music made my heart
and soul smile with the distinct pleasure that only great music can provoke
from within, I knew that I was home again.
Perpetual Motion has a lot of albums to their credit and
this recording certainly has engaged me enough to explore their catalog further.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this is a duo, there is a lot going on in
their music and plenty of production and instruments tied into the two main
tools used to provide a listener with such blissful moments.
Have a look out your Rear
View and see what Perpetual Motion can offer you through their music. It is
sound and vision combined to form an artistic canvas that will surely be
appreciated by world, new age, jazz and mainly instrumental music fans that
require a refreshingly creative sound.
It is like a gypsy dance and celebration that comes alive
before your ears and mind’s eye. This is real music for real people so give it
a good listen then tell me if you weren’t tapping your feet or dancing?
