Dark Breeze

This compilation of home recordings is a follow-up to the previous "Spiderworks". The oldest tracks are from around 2001-2002. All the tunes played on Indian, Turkish, and Persian instruments are based on pure fantasy. These are from around 2018 up to the present. I urge you to go slowly and dive into the moment. The pairing of the words "dark" and "breeze" came from a Sumerian hymn praising the omnipotence of the goddess Inanna, queen of heaven and earth. The night wind is a great vehicle of inspiration. The dark breeze might also be an omen warning about the next financial crisis; the interpretation is your privilege.
