Recorded in a variety of locations, including Amsterdam, London and a remote cabin in Washington State; one can hear a melding of flavour and spirit from a cast of fine musicians. At the same time, illustrated throughout this theme, is a progression loosely intended to carry the listener from the opening chords to the closing notes.

 

MUSICIANS

Ah, this is nice... lots of improvising.

Michael Manring does it so fluidly with his unique style of fretless bass playing, as does the versatile Michael Moore, whilst speaking through various reeds (alto saxophone, Bb and bass clarinets).

Familiar faces of Simon McCarty (djembe, bougarabou), Chad Quist (electric guitar) and Jim Eagan (drums) return to further enrich the palette, along with steadfast support from Carl Dexter (guitars, harmonium, contrabass, tamboura and dumbek).

Ernst Glerum (contrabass), Harald Austbø (cello) and Storm Watson (fiddles, djembe, pota) selectively add their creative touches to the mix. Steven Byron Bentley's expressive drum energy and the eerie Tuvan throat singing and jews harp playing of Marhzimal Ondar completes the theme.

Similar to Sohre's other CD's, you'll hear her voice in several instruments.
