While there are references to Galician, Euskadi, French and other folk musical cultures, this is a purely contemporary, creative work performed by an ensemble of musicians of renowned skills; primarily acoustic ensembles of guitars, percussion, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, strings, flutes, harp, zither (from our good friend Andrew Cronshaw) and piano weave a variety of moody, melodic and ambient pieces, each unique; some taut and restrained, some simply pleasing, others quite daring.
Think of it as a semi-classical folk ballad, somewhere in the realm of Satie, perhaps.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
