PRODUCT DETAILS

Unbound opens with a single, trembling chord that rises anddescends before meeting a warm, beguiling voice, a voicesinging in a tradition that's been heard in this northern rivercountry for millennia. The music that follows is a soulfuldialogue between the ancient tradition of powwow singing anda contemporary musical palette. On Unbound, the powwowstyle of singing is entwined with synthesized voice modulation,and hand drumming is accented with electronic samples andbeats - the harmonies and resonances are equal parts culturaland musical.Geographically, Bizhiki is almost wholly a made-in-Wisconsinproject, a collaboration between Dylan Bizhikiins Jennings, JoeRainey and the multi-instrumentalist Sean Carey (S.

The open-endednessof the initial invitation and the "let's just do something together"spirit continues to inform Bizhiki's process.Recording steadily over the course of years - and betweenseveral projects from Bizhiki's members, including two soloalbums (Joe Rainey's Niineta and S. Carey's Break Me Open) -the trio chipped away at an expansive, ambitious and uniquerecord that sounds like no other music being made today.Unbound is a collaboration between a group of singers andmusicians at a particular time and place, exchanging ideas in anopen-ended dialogue deeply considering the resourc
