Akusmi :: Terra Incognita

On his second album as Akusmi, Pascal Bideau mostly jettisons the short interlocking patterns of his earlier work for a wealth of wider, more colorful and free-ranging compositions. Working with several international musicians and a staggering array of eclectic instruments, Bideau has made a wide-ranging, expertly blended and comfortably eccentric album of streamlined world jazz. The territory he's exploring might not be totally unknown, but the unfamiliar and unexpected has never sounded so approachable.
