INFO


Mark Barrott steps away from the Bal earic sound he's become synonymous with to take a journey back to the territory he first explored with Bepu N'Gali. The Pathways Of Our Lives is a joyous, life affirming piece of 70's Afro Soul with a modern twist, continuing Barrott's love affair with African Polyrhythms and 70's Philly Strings. It's also the first ti me since 2014's aforementioned Bepu N'Gali release that he has worked with a ful l band and sees The Grünewald Quartet return to string duties after collaboratin g on Barrott's Sketches from an Island 2 album last year.





The Bside, Music for Santoor, Bansuri, Tanpura y Sarod is another track recorded live during one of his spring meditation sessions in Northern Ibi za, with India's Vishnu Quartet performing a 2 hour piece with Barrott directing and later editing it down into the form you hear today.





After a busy and productive first half of 2017 in which Barrott rel eased his Music for Presence EP and two Talamanca System releases, this summer s ees Mark Barrott step into high gear with his work at La Torre in Ibiza, where h e is sunset resident and has compiled the second edition of their compilation

series (last year's debut charting high in best mixes of the year by Resident Advisor).





Pathways invites the listener inside Barrott's mystical world, where stillness and meditation are the foundations, non-attachment and non-judgement are the windows, and through the music he mindfully sketches a vista into the next chapter in his career.
