Lotus Feet from Playing With Fire by Deep Energy Orchestra

Playing With Fire is the first live recording by Deep Energy Orchestra. This supergroup showcases progphenom Trey Gunn (King Crimson) and Indian percussion master Selvaganesh (John McLaughlin, Masters of Percussion) teaming up with composer Jason Everett (Mister E) and a Seattlebased classical string ensemble. Performing the eclectic compositions of worldjazz bassist Jason Everett, this group of Indian, Prog Rock, and Classical musicians take the listener on a journey of exotic soundscapes. Jasons ability to weave Indianstyle melodies together with complex, funky, oddmeter grooves is deceptively natural. These performances were recorded live over a twoday recording session at the Jack Straw Cultural Center in Seattle, WA as part of an Artist Residency award. Everything was also captured on video with multiple cameras so that the unusual instruments (tabla, kanjira, sevenstring electric violin, Warr Guitar, and Selvaganeshs custom drum kit) can be seen as well as heard.
