Singapore Sling

A new recording partnership is revelled today in the guise of
Rhythm & Breeze, and their new
single entitled Singapore Sling, a
rich tapestry of colours from the ladies of flute and percussion known to us as
Sandi Horton and Debbie Brock.
Sandi employs the usage of an Indonesian Suling Bamboo Fipple Flute, whilst improvised electronic
percussion is gifted to this creation by the talents Debbie, this combination
is both creative and very enjoyable, in fact in my afternoon reverie, I have
now listened to this song several times and it has an incredibly addictive
quality and tone to its musical persona.
I am also a bit of fan of gin based cocktails, so this is a
doubly chilled moment of instrumental magic for me to drift with. Horton’s
flute is unique, until today I had not heard of it, but the tones that emanate
from its structure are both bliss filled and soothing.
The electronic percussion of Brock also offers a sensitive
pastiche of vibrations, subtle nuances and a sensual rhythmic beat is all offered
up to the listener here, this combination therefore is again quite unique and I
think the duet most assuredly have something mesmeric here, without doubt this
is going to be a big summer hit for the partnership of Rhythm & Breeze with
Singapore Sling.
