CD BABY Reviews
***** Good recordings. Marque goes to the future of music! That is a good CD, and it is reasonable because it has two CDs and nice tracks. I like it - RYU
***** You gotta groove in your seat if you can't be on your feet. Marque Gilmore and the Drum FM collaborators have got it, are doing it, and are making it all happen on the Creation Step/Vortex Extension CDs. This is uplifting listening >> you gotta groove in your seat if you can't be on your feet, as the eclectic mix of world influences drift on through each track. Buy it, enjoy the tribal journey. - Kath L-B
DRUM-FM was conceived and created by musician/producer Marque Gilmore in the dawning of 1995 while transporting between the flats of East London and the streets of Downtown Brooklyn. The main influences for DRUM-FM are the UK pirate radio station and the primal energy of the 21st Century Rave. DRUM-FM fuses these elements with the impetus of the Jazz Musician (or rather the "Musical Alchemist") to create a "virtual" pirate station broadcasting directly to live audiences known as "Interactive Tribalistic Sessions." DRUM-FM was originally established as an "Interactive Jungle Club" in New York City as a means to expose the new musical movements from London, known as Drum & Bass/Jungle and Breakbeat Music in an interactive setting with the city's own special grooves. Letting loose the bounds of traditional artistic expression, this new musical platform allowed new talent, new music, and a new type of performance setting to co-exist alongside various creative disciplines (i.e., live band, DJs, poets, electronic musicians, and future-bound writers). DRUM-FM's performances expose the similarities of artists from various ethnic backgrounds through active collaboration. These collaborations are translated into what is known as "Tribal Broadcasts," creating new definitions for modern-day ritual and community. From 1995, the project's musical focus is on the collaborations with Malian musician and historian Cheick Tidiane Seck (long-time musical director, arranger, and producer for Salif Kieta, Mory Kante, Hank Jones, and many others). In the spring of 1999, musical director Marque Gilmore received grants from New Music Commissions, Combined Arts' International Initiatives Fund, and Creative Music Program from the Arts Council of England and London Arts. In October '99, Gilmore's compositions and Seck's original and West African repertoire culminated in the World Premiere multi-media performance of MILLENNIUM MIGRATION at London's legendary Hackney Empire followed by a DRUM-FM Quartet UK tour. This work then evolved to the "CREATION STEP" double-bill concert with the Art Ensemble of Chicago at The Barbican Centre in May 2001. In November 2002, DRUM-FM launched the Tribal Broadcast Recordings label and the 'drumfm.com' website and released the Hackney and Barbican concerts on the CD "CREATION STEP" and a special CD-EP "Vortex Extension."

"CREATION STEP" CONCERT INFO:
Marque Gilmore & DRUM-FM: "CREATION STEP"
@ The Barbican Centre, London - 18-May-2001
With The Art Ensemble of Chicago
THE CONCEPT:
CREATION STEP is the musical evolution of DRUM-FM's Millennium Migration concert performed at London's legendary Hackney Empire in October 1999. This production is the continuing story of migrations expressed through the reinterpretation and "re-interpolation" of ancient Mandeng songs, Caribbean rhythms, African dance, Afro-Beat rhythms, Jazz, Indian Baul singing, and Drum & Bass (UK). Musicians from Mali, London, New York, India, Nigeria, and Ghana congregate on stage to explore various routes of composition and improvisation celebrating the millennium with a progressive form of sound language. This performance, like MILLENNIUM MIGRATION, was a world premiere performance of these collaborations. CREATION STEP blends experimental dance music with ancestral sounds resulting in a sonic landscape representing the future of Neo-historical Black art-forms with a view of inclusiveness while serving both the 2nd Generation Diasporic communities in the UK and their lineage. Interactive projections accompany the music as it traces the history of the drum and voice over the Diaspora and the new-world continents. This performance is principally based on Marque Gilmore's future-tribal compositions (with his hybrid "Acousti-Lectric" Drumz) translating and morphing West African songs and arrangements brought forward by Cheick Tidiane Seck (vocals and keyboards) from their ongoing collaborations since 1996.

Africa: Black Music Ancient to Modern
Contributing to the Barbican Jazz's series of African concerts, where some of the most innovative musicians who have taken their inspiration from African music and stamped their own contemporary seal on it, are The Art Ensemble of Chicago and Marque Gilmore / DRUM-FM. In a special concert dedicated to the memory of the inspirational founder member Lester Bowie, The Art Ensemble of Chicago will be proving why they have been consistently considered one of the most extraordinary performing jazz ensembles in contemporary music over the past thirty years. Conceived in '67 as a political musical statement at a time of racial strife in the US, this unique co-operative group, have taken futuristic African culture, of the diaspora and homeland, and redefined the confines of 'black music'. Enabling its musicians to define their own role in music history and remain as innovative today as three decades ago. Kicking off the proceedings, Marque Gilmore brings his ongoing DRUM-FM project to the forum. Following Millennium Migration, at the Hackney Empire (Oct 1999). This event entitled CREATION STEP furthers the exploration into various routes of musical creation in composition and improvisation connecting the migrations of rhythm from Africa and India to the rest of the world by reinterpreting ancient musical forms alongside the newest music technology. This current musical focus re-unites DRUM-FM in a collaboration with Malian musician/historian Cheick Tidiane Seck (long-time musical director, arranger, and producer for Salif Kieta, Mory Kante, Hank Jones, and others) and
