"The FIMAV performance is an extraordinary recording, an aural opportunity to hear the Ensemble exploring at length, stretching the contemporaneous studio documentation, but even with the Ensemble’s brilliant and transformative history, Sainkho Namtchylak’s spontaneous addition to Fixing is unique. Namtchylak’s intensity transcends the metaphoric. This performance is not folkloric. It is folklore. It is not shamanic. It is shamanism.
The ElectroAcoustic Ensemble (Evan Parker, Barry Guy, Paul Lytton, Phil Wachsmann, Marco Vecchi, Walter Prati + Sainkho Namtchylak) is one of the most significant events in the humanization of electronic music, in making it mobile and spontaneously responsive. Fluctuating, by the Ensemble itself, is more than a valuable document, it’s a major revelatory work".

Incredibly talented young group! They have achieved a perfect blend of Native American music with jazz. I highly recommend seeing/hearing them live! ccselavy
