Coyote Oldman - House Made Of Dawn

Review by Adrian Rogers

Coyote Oldman's album House Made Of Dawn is a mesmerizing blend of traditional Native American flute music and contemporary electronic soundscapes. The duo, consisting of Barry Stramp and Michael Graham Allen, creates a dreamlike atmosphere with their haunting melodies and ambient textures.

The album takes its name from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by N. Scott Momaday, and the music evokes the same sense of spiritual and cultural significance. The haunting flute melodies are accompanied by subtle electronic beats and atmospheric sound effects, creating a hypnotic and immersive listening experience.

Tracks like "The Long Trail" and "The Journey" showcase the duo's mastery of the flute, with Stramp and Allen weaving intricate melodies that dance and swirl around each other. Meanwhile, tracks like "Skywave" and "The First Rain" incorporate electronic elements that elevate the music to another level of ethereal beauty.
