Fuiczynski/Cappadocia

I do not often take to luring people with one thing and delivering another, which is why you will seldom read advertisements of any sort on this page. I will occasionally, however, point your eyes (or ears) in the direction of something that requires your attention.

I recently purchased a CD by David Fiuczynski (guitarist extraordinaire) and Rufus Cappadocia (electric 5-string cellist), entitled KiF. The best description of this material is probably "eastern-influenced music with a western jazz arrangement". My preferred, though more ambiguous description is, simply, "beautiful".

This is a truly special recording, full of untouchable musicianship and the sort of emotion that one can only feel in the heart and the soul. If the purpose of art is to bridge the gap between the sophisticated concrete and the primal abstract, Fiuczynski and Cappadocia are artists of the highest caliber, years ahead of what we would call their peers.

If you'd like to hear samples of their work, go to: http://screamingheadlesstorsos.com/Website/kif.html

That will give you a taste. I certainly hope that you'll find a mere taste to be insufficient. I know I did.
