About this release

Amulet Records – AMT007 (US)

This CD is a compilation of spontaneously composed percussion recordings inspired as a musical adaptation to the spirit, visions, and stories of the great Oglala Sioux warrior and medicine man Black Elk. With the exception of "Stridulations" performed by the Komodo Whirligig Orchestra, each track consists of solo compositions. These formless forms are nature's seed to the mind.
