This is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…

Sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero. How about a bit more volume on the music and a bit less on the percussion? John.

I'm surprised I forgot to post this collaboration with Norm and Char. Char performs the reading Norm performs the percussion Chris did choir, sax, bass, FXs Poem - Edgar Allen Poe Annabel Lee It was many and many a year ago…

epic 20 min recording. Anyone who played in the 80's can see though the familiar low-fi tape contribution. Its almost, nostalgically better in a way...love the change ups at 5:20 - 6:10 etc.
