Tala Matrix

Released

Tala Matrix was the name bassist and producer Bill Laswell gave to his collaboration with percussionists Karsh Kale and Zakir Hussain. On the group’s debut album they’re joined by several other luminaries of the Indian subcontinent, including the legendary sarangi player Ustad Sultan Khan and Anglo-Indian percussionist Talvin Singh. Laswell provides bass, jungle breakbeats, and heavy dubwise production, and the resulting album floats and dives and echoes and rumbles and dances. I promise it’s like nothing else you’ve ever heard.
