***CARLOS NINO’s latest electroaccoustic work, a beautiful album on a ambient / LIFE FORCE TRIO tip. Sublime stuff. High With A Little Help started production after the completion of The Life Force Trio Living Room. It was then, in early 2006, that Nino got to work on new tracks with members of BUILD AN ARK and his other ensembles, (including TLFT.) Over the last couple years, he kept a collection of these pieces, knowing that they were comprising a whole idea that he wanted to express. One of the main things the album features are samples from a variety of live and studio recordings he made. The concept, that the source of many of these works, was based on moments captured from sessions for other projects, was very interesting to him. On High With A Little Help, he shows the continuum of his work as an organizer, producer, arranger, composer, and musician by mixing it all up into one hearty stew. With African rhythms, ambient, experimental and funk based electronic sounds, string arrangements, freak flag flying folk flavors, improvisational soul-jazz, and cinematic score cues, Nino has woven a masterful quilt of influence and inspiration.
