Master Musicians Of Bukkake biography
Master Musicians of Bukkake began in the fertile music scene of the Pacific Northwest in 2003. Founded as the result of the album Lesser Angel of Failure by John Schuller, the Master Musicians of Bukkake are a loose-knit posse of Seattle-based musicians performing collective ceremonial music, far removed from category and pushing well beyond the outsider fashions of those willing to settle for less.

The Master Musicians is a motley assemble of 20 blokes who generally perform lysergically poisoned impressions of Southeast Asian ceremonial music. Alan Bishop and Charlie Gocher of ethnodelic greats the Sun City Girls add some drums and Burmese banjo in there.

In 2005 they released "Visible Sign Of the Invisible Order" a recording of improvised ritualistic musical gatherings by the collective. Recorded mostly outside deep in the Cascade Mountains and in large ensemble sessions at Aleph Studios, Visible is best heard in one sitting as it follows a narrative from wearied peace to phantasmagoric horror to entrance to heaven. On this debut release, Schuller is joined by core members Randall Dunn, Brad Mowen, Don McGreevy, James Davis and the mysterious Milk N' Cookies.

Violinist Eyvind Kang also appears on the record and has said of the Master Musicians of Bukkake: It is illegal music..it's criminal what they are doing..you'll see! (Kang is NOT referring to the 9 MM being fired repeatedly on track 13: one of a number of tracks recorded outdoors at undisclosed coastal/forested locales with the balance recorded in the studio).Also noted as performing on various tracks are Alan Bishop/Charlie Gocher (Sun City Girls), Eryn Young, Shahzad Ismaily, Hammy, Branden Harper, Evan Schiller, Paul Moore, Olli Klomp, Javier Gallegos, Andrew McInnis, Benjamin Kennedy, and Luke LaPlante.

Released on the Sun City Girls' label, their second album shares a certain free-for-all sensibility with the work of their mentors, with its rambling psych-folk instrumentals. The Seattle group refers full description to their sound as ceremonial music, and indeed the songs suggest mind-expanding peyote sessions, group visions, and the smell of a ritual fire.

"Totem One" ,a part of a Northwest trilogy, marks an evolution from their first record "Visible Sign Of the Invisible order" (Abduction records 2005). MMOB has now solidified into a 7 piece cosmic psyche force. Like a reverse dark side of the New Age sound, on the Totem series Master Musicians of Bukkake...read more

Review by Rivertree

4 stars This stuff will guide you into a special trance mood - in the case that you really take your time. Ideally you put the headphones on, relax and open up your mind when listening. MASTER MUSICIANS OF BUKKAKE have created a new age drug here, still legal yet, but who knows ... Probably it makes addicted, but I couldn't detect side effects so far. This album sounds as if they've been to the most isolated regions of Indonesia for a year or so and then came back deeply inspired by Gamelan and diverse ritual dances demonstrated by native inhabitants.

This does not mean you should expect tracks reduced on ethno/world impressions alone. This is all decorated with many synthesizer goodies and electric respectively acoustic guitars here and there, which turns it all to a modern outfit. I recommend to listen in one go anyway. They offer a dark mooded, maybe even slightly creepy start with multiple chimes, tribal percussion/drums, subtle spacey synth patterns - a preview of the mantra-like, hypnotic album content which will wrap you up if you're in the right mood - promised.

Don't know what equipment they used in particular. Later they add more hallucinatory coloured oriental impressions, Saz and as for the flute it sounds like Nay or Nagasvaram. Guitar drones are leading over to People Of The Drifting Houses with vocals by Alan Bishop from the 'Sun City Girls', a band which was specialized on gigs with a mystic performance art including weird costumes and make-up in the same way. Schism Prism is a killer track which contains a halting repetitive (Turkish?) dance rhythm. Coming towards the end it all loses structure, glides into a weird cosmic flow and then leads into a fantastic furious finale - wow!

And then the wonderfully charming Cascade Cathedral gives you time to relax afterwards featuring flute and acoustic guitars. It took some time for me to make friends with 'Totem One' - in some way similar to Dragontears as for the trancey behaviour, but surely more out of touch with things. Additionally I would count the Russian band Kalutaliksuak when it comes to a comparison. The ethno flavour they present appears surprisingly authentic. This album deserves some appreciation due to the courageous approach ... so much the more because it's successful in the end.
