Voice of Eye
Voice of Eye is a Taos, New Mexico based experimental ambient music duo whose members are Bonnie McNaim and Jim Wilson.[1] Formed in 1991 in Houston, Texas, their sound is one that blends electronic soundscapes, drones, and world music, particularly with Middle Eastern overtones, and tends to evoke an atmospheric or shamanistic quality. Many of the instruments used are home-made or heavily modified. Using this "odd palette of instrumentation," their music has been described as "largely indescribable, but totally inviting."[2]
A 10 year musical hiatus began in 1997 as the duo shifted their focus from music to building an off-the-grid sustainable home and studio in New Mexico. They returned to touring and recording music in 2007.[3]
