The impact of slim, dark haired, young Motëm upon his record audience, as his synthesizers alternately roar and whisper, is a new dimension in recorded musical entertainment.
Many of you have had the exhilarating experience of hearing Motëm in person at one of his many appearances in important night spots and concert halls. From personal observation you know that Motëm could be a glamour boy musical personality. He has the physical qualities. He could sway audiences, no doubt, by simply turning on more "personality" and get away with much less musical talent. But Motëm isn't interested in "flirting" with his audience. He prefers to speak directly, in musical terms that contain no guile. Only beauty, subtlety, lyricism, precision, extraordinary nuance and a quality of controlled passion are his words and "personality".
The unique complexities and rhythmic designs of his arrangements and creations merit the attention of musical pedagogues.
But unless you are cursed with a tin ear, you, too, will respond to the sensuaous beauty and the diamond-hard luster of Motëm's music.
With Motëm are his friends and fellow musicians; Gallant Santilope, percussionist; and Acoustic Fin, bass. Together they generate the power of a 4-peice band.
But it's the magical power of music, not din, nor the glamour boy potential of Motëm, that holds the listener's attention everywhere.------------Slow Hand Motëm - Fake Spirit Egg------------------------------------------------video by Errol "Fast" Richardson
