François Couture - Qallunak

Drawing inspiration from Inuit throat singing and traditional music, Canadian François Couture has produced an album of ethnographic ambient

qallunak

Please note this is an old page and Fly Global Music has now moved. Please follow this link and search for the entry in the new site.

These gentle and affecting voices lift the album from the dull, barren wasteland that is ambient. François Couture provides subtle studio-produced music to carry the sounds of Inuit people along.

The result on the whole is a little less than compelling, somewhere between pleasing and interesting perhaps. It has its moments though and some tracks even display a sense of passion and urgency such as ‘Qikturriak / Counting’.

Not entirely my cup of tea but make your own mind up at www.boghei.com/Qallunak.htm
