Tracks like &#8220;Black Temple,&#8221; the album&#8217;s centerpiece, encompass sonic extremes from delicate atmospheres to furious guitar passages supported by thunderous drumming.\n<p>Tibbetts&#8217; travels to Asia season his percussion with influences from Bali and Java. Increasingly, the guitarist joins in the drumming alonside his long-time percussionists, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcanderson.org\/the-urban-monk-project\">Marc Anderson<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcdailyplanet.net\/music-how-light-gets-dean-magraw-and-marcus-wise-merge-east-and-west\/\">Marcus Wise<\/a>. \u00a0A library of percussive and natural sounds sampled around the world ad intricacy and texture to the mix. \u00a0The perfectionists lavishes attention on even the minutest sonic details. \u00a0While Tibbetts&#8217; guitars have long been the focal point of his CDs, <em>A Man About A Horse<\/em> achieves a new balance between drums and strings.<\/p>\n<p>The blend of contemplation and catharsis is pretty much what you want and expect from Tibbetts. He calls it &#8220;post-modern neo-primitivism&#8221; with tongue presumably in cheek.<\/p>\n<p>-Jon Andrews<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A Man About A Horse embodies Tibbetts&#8217;
