Rhythm Room aims high and succeeds with "Circle of Souls"

BY RICK FOSTER

SUN CHRONICLE STAFF

Few musicians or composers would try to compress the story of rhythm and its influence on life and music into a single, live show or a CD.

But that's precisely what The Rhythm Room, percussion-based ensemble conceived by drummer and music educator Rick Morin, does in its new live show and indie CD titled "Circle of Souls." The result, which the band rolled out on stage Friday and Saturday at Rhode Island College, turns out to he far more than a collection of songs.

Circle of Souls, which tracks the beat of human experience through the blues, urban rhythms, African, native American and World Music, is a complete thematic experience that invokes soul, street beats, jazz, rock and even hip hop through 16 original - and memorable - tunes. Produced by multi-instrumentalist and all-around sound wizard George Dussault, the disc must qualify as one of the most significant works of art ever released by a local ensemble or soloist.

Morin, who hosts a North Attleboro cable TV music show also called The Rhythm Room, is the visionary who built the band over the course of several years from a cadre of former students and highly virtuosic friends. Morin himself either wrote or collaborated on more than half the songs.

Unlike other contemporary percussion groups, The Rhythm Room does more than drum on trash cans, plumbing and floorboards. They integrate guitars, synthesizers, horns and lush vocal harmonies to create a full- flavored melodic experience.

Vocalist Julie Marinucci, who co-wrote several of the songs, lights up the disc with her at-times soulful, at-times soaring voice. On "In The Beginning," which she wrote, Marinucci sets the scene with a sensitive preamble that leads into "One Voice," a powerful, optimistic anthem written by Dussault and Morin. Songs like "Beat Street," a collaboration with rapper D-Rhyme, capture the percussive energy of the streets. "Maka Sica," which Marinucci sings partly in Spanish, brings listeners ringside to what one imagines to be a Barcelona cabaret.

The influences and the genres roll on and on. But variety somehow reinforces rather than dilutes "Circle of Souls," a unified whole made from disparate but complementary pieces.

While The Rhythm Room is essentially a collaboration between nine musicians including Morin, guitarist-producer Dussault's influence is felt more than most on the tour de force disc. Dussault's piano and synth parts underpin a good part of the album, and his versatile guitar playing is prominently on display as well.

Dussault, a top-class studio producer who has worked with both local and national talents, also gives the new CD a 'live' feel by minimizing spacing between individual cuts and underlaying the recordings with a subtle background that simulates an expectant concert crowd.

Both the disc and the live show rely on a cast of highly- versatile musicians who must fill multiple roles. Morin, Harry Hagan, Micah Weaver and Dave Davignon provide the core of the Rhythm Room's percussion. Seth Antonis doubles on percussion and digeridoo. Alan Clavette plays trombone as well as performs keyboard and vocal parts, while Kait Clavette plays trumpet and euphonium as well as singing backing vocals and performing on keyboards, guitar and trumpet.

Tom Frederick sings as well as narrates and plays world percussion.

The Rhythm Room videotaped its performances last weekend for a future DVD that they can show to potential bookers. Morin is candid about his desire to promote a national tour for The Rhythm Room, and his confidence is not misplaced.

In a world of Celtic Woman, Celtic Thunder and River-dance, the world is ready for a live ensemble founded on something other than step-dancing, stage prop castles and hackneyed pub ballads.

George Dussault hooks Clokworx emcee AmsUno up with a beat that just rolls along. Dussault drops a cut similar to the production of Celph-Titled, so if you're into that steez, than cop this. The RI emcee drops sarcastic rhymes that not only make you think, but also bump to move heads. "Brimstone & Fire" is nice, so roll your pennies and buy this.

Rhode Island based duo Clokworx still remains as one of the most interesting up and coming acts of the indie hip-hop movement. And after blessing us with goodies (and near-classics) like the 1999 "Mental Flux" wax debut, Clokworx also delivered last year's dope "Preservatives" single on Cybertek which also held the favorite "Robots". Now it's time for one half of the duo, emcee Ams Uno, to attack on his own. We're getting "Your Brain On Ams" b/w "Brimstone & Fire" on a nice piece of 7" plastic, out on Commonwealth. And these gems are two pure bangers, really. Ams' own beat delivered in the title cut hear, is nothing put pure heat. Beat is standing out on its own (spiced with cuts from DJ Orator) but Ams Uno is also remarkable as a unique lyricist by all means. He's showing that on this wax (again). B-side selection "Brimstone & Fire" is a more of a straight laced banger by George Dussault. And while we're again getting the top notch beats we want, this track is another example of how dope Ams Uno really is when he's rollin with full throttle on the mic. Really dope, and we are just LOVING this record. For its upright honesty, and for its strict, basic hip-hop sound. Ams Uno will drop a full length somewhere this summer, but make sure you bang this record through-out the entire spring season. It IS that good.

"Special thanks to George Dussault, the producer/engineer, of Galilee Productions who made it possible for us to make this cd. Thanks." - Narcotic Bob

---

"George was not just an engineer or producer on our project. Rather, he was the fifth member of the band, someone who brought new ideas to the table. These ideas were fresh, new, and great suggestions that made our album more dynamic. We wouldn't choose another person to work with."

"George's ear for music is unparalleled. He knows what sounds right, and how to improve musical choices. He strives to make everything sound the best as possible and succeeds." - Acronym

"This is Ryan from the band Taunt The Jester. We recorded the "Out of the Box" e.p. with George all in one day, and it was incredible experience. The atmosphere was just simply something that made us as a band believe this is what its all about. We now have a substantial following thanks to the demo and we just wanna thank George and inform every band to go to George for the best quality and to learn about music industry in general. We also plan to record a full length album with George in December."
