BACKGROUND
Modern East meets Ancient West. None of these pieces are unknown but I think they are very special. Their obvious differences are drawn together through strong, melismatic melody lines. All are hypnotic, virtuosic, literally 'entrancing', opening doors to the listener allowing you to go a new place, do as you will.
