Drag City
From out of the dark, the crackle of feed back birdsong signals a return to the land of sound environments exclusive to the music of Rafael Toral. A year and a half after his epochal electric guitar album, âSpectral Evolutionâ, âTraveling Lightâ finds him sharpening his focus, moving boldly from abstract forms to concrete compositions in the form of a set of jazz standards.
In every contour of âTraveling Lightââs path â arrangement, improvisation and production â the spring of the old pours through the new in an unstoppable flow. This is the sound of life, a nexus point for the music of the last century and the music ever unfurling toward the far horizons of the next century.
