Peter Kris - Everything Possuelo Brought To The Table
A river journey by paddle and human effort could be the most surreal way to experience the world. The pace is slow allowing details from the banks to be fully absorbed. A special quietness persists, there is no wind from moving to fast and the openness of the water seems to muffle everything beyond. Traveling down stream reduces the physical effort to a simple paddle as a rudder, increasing the ability to take in what rests on the waters edge. For this description, rapids are not present and within these conditions a true tranquility descends in our thoughts. Sydney Possuelo probably experienced this natural wonderment augmented by finding indigenous people using the river as a source of life. In his over sixty years of work, he spent a lot of time on the water. Exploration and return trips, the river bestows undisturbed evolution and the connection to who we all are.
The monstrous composition by Peter Kris is the aural equivalent to the preceding thoughts. After many engagements, deep within the twenty seven tracks, serenity filled with fascination continually surfaced. Peter Kris displays a magnitude of patience and reserve at the highest level. Guitar melodies possessing core beauty while being bent by the erosive forces time gives leeway to. At times the sparkling notes reflect in vast distances, then clouds and dark water, distant melancholy depths only heard from the surface. Maybe this relationship between gleaming magnificence above dark flowing currents is the truth about Sydney Possuelo's expeditions and countless explorers before him? For the most natural and untouched people and places to be discovered, they have to be disturbed. Like all the animals hit by cars, technology has no brakes. Peter Kris has captured this paradoxal affinity for the discovery of the unspoiled world around us and how evolution, though long periods of time, is run down. Fortunately Sydney Possuelo understands this and spends his life to preserve a way of life beyond our technological advancements. And while listening to Everything Possuelo Brought To The Table, music and thought have been beautifully intertwined by Peter Kris once again.
