About Me

This is an Eastern music project featuring two members now. The music features tribal drums along with Eastern guitars, including instruments such as the tambura, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and now recently to be added, a baglama saz. Percussion also ranges from bongos to Mayan drums etc. Vocals range from a chanting style to very guttural, and much of the material is instrumental. The music has become more and more Eastern with Egyptian, Arabic, and Indian influence, with fast sitar-style instrumentation and slow droning vibes.Myspace Graphics
