new Cd release

The North American Embassy
Of Anaphoria Island

Dear friends of our island:
We here in North America are happy to announce the arrival of a new
shipment of music from our island, which we all so sorely miss. It is
hard for us to believe that it has been almost four years since such a
cargo has passed through our gates. Yet time moves differently there
than here as this live field recording can testify to. So here you have
it.

THE STOLEN STARS: AN ANAPHORIAN DANCE DRAMA.

Inside the CD you get the background and history of this ritualistic
drama, so we will refrain from repeating what is printed there. Instead
we include some comments on the music from one of Anaphoria's most
renowned ethnomusicologists, Lovogata Lubati, who not only suggested the
recording but also was instrumental in bringing it to completion:

"Musically this dance drama exploits the properties of one of
Anaphoria's most prized tunings with its capacity to create subtle
standing waves. The sound produced, while being totally acoustic,
resembles certain electronic effects. Phase shifting, beat patterns that
accumulate into their own complementary tempos, and the play on brain
wave patterns are all natural products inherent in the nature of the
tuning and instruments. Different tempos also unfold between the three
instrumental groups as they are separated at some distance to
accommodate the dance that requires an unusually large area. It is for
this reason it became ideal to use three different recording engineers
placed at optimum positions."
