Bleep

The experimental and improv musician, author and music writer, David Toop, releases on the Sub Rosa label. Having released his first album back in 1975 on Brian Eno’s Obscure label, Toop has since curated a series of album such as Ocean Of Sound and Sugar & Poison and recorded a selection of solo albums including Screen Ceremonies and Music Of Fruit. Lost Shadows In Defence Of The Soul is a selection of recordings from 1978 when Toop travelled through the Amazon jungle to meet and records the last Yanomami shamen and features Yanomami ritual songs, shamanistic ceremonies and rainforest sounds.
