Percy Howard's Meridiem explores uncomfortable corners of the human psyche, his soaring gospel-tinted classically trained voice threading through deeply etched improvisational textures with an intensity that borders on the psychotic. Robert Rich's surrealist sonic landscape wraps a velvet texture around Meridiem's shadowy pulsating heart. With contributions from Jarboe (Swans, Living Jarboe), Bill Laswell, Eraldo Bernocchi, Haroun Serang, Edo Castro, Ricky Carter, and many others, Meridiem's "A Scattering Time" rewards repeated listening with its unforgettable lingering mood. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Meridiem is Percy Howard with Robert Rich and: Eraldo Bernocchi, Jonathan Byerly, Ricky Carter, Edo Castro, Hans Christian, John Ettinger, Giovanna Flaggs, Kris Force, Jarboe, Bill Laswell, Andrew Luthringer, Spencer Murray, Renee Nelson, Haroun Serang, Steve Sullivan.
