Review

Will Clipman is clearly fluent in the language of rhythm and percussion. Pathfinder's 13 original compositions are a testimony to just how fluent he is. His four Grammy nominations for work in New Age and Native American music are a pretty good testimony, as well. Clipman's musical collages are layered with the sounds of instruments most of us have never heard or heard of, yet they seem as natural as a walk in the desert and as sacred as a hymn. This music may be called New Age, but it feels very old. Using the ocean drum, slit drum, water drum, djembe, spring drum, frame drum, Taos drum, gong, bellstick, berimbau, anklung, caxixis, ipu, bowl, cymbals, whistle, rainstick, songba, Cameroon bell, doumbek, claves, corn goddess whistle, balafon, catalpapod, bowed bowl, udu, triangle, tambourine, three-chambered ocarina, agogo, tingsha and his voice, Clipman takes us from 'Daybreak,' through the 'Bodhisattva,' 'Desert Rains,' and beyond. It is quite a journey into the mystical sounds of percussion. Better to be listened to with the body than the mind. --By Heidi Fosner - Victory Music / May 2008
