| This CD is a
musical reflection upon the cultural exchange between the Norse and the
various cultures they encountered in Europe, Asia and North America. |
David Rankine, Fernando
Villalobos and special friend
Daniela
Godina gather together their compositional skills and their extensive
knowledge of Hebridean, Irish, Scots, Orcadian, European and Indo-Persian
folk music and combine it with various contemporary idioms (fusion, rock,
jazz) to create a sonic voyage that takes the listener from East to West
and back again.
|
| The title speaks
of changes in perspective - the Norse experience in Vinland was also the
experience of the Native population was - a flow of
culture in two directions as indeed was the Norse experience in Europe and
Asia. |
