about

Strange and quirky instruments meet the latest in modern technology in this eclectic collection of instrumentals. Clarinets improvise over gravity-weighted shifting rhythms, drum machines accompany a flute crafted from a walnut, celtic flutes meet kalimbas and everything comes together in a range of styles that touch on classical, jazz, folk and electronica.
