This music has so much movement, texture, and layering - every player masterfully owning their parts. They’re not merely playing the song, but feeling it, translating it into heart-felt expression - the vision is in full fruition!! 🫶🤗💕

I think the desert vibe comes from the legatos on the cello. But still every person imagines different things and that's why instrumental music is so cool

I lived in asheville, but I too got a desert image, primarily b/c the dulcimer had the santoor playing style going on, essentially same instrument. Plus the percussion.

This is incredible! I've heard a lot of dulcimer music, but nothing like this. Adding harp techniques in with the customer hammers added so much to the tone. I love how the cello and the bells were accented, and the drum kept everything moving. Stunning piece. Will definitely be investigating your music more.

Some guy downtown where I live was playing a hammered dulcimer and I had no clue what it was at first so I asked him and then forgot. Couple months later, 2 days ago, I see the same guy and ask him again and remember. First thing I do after is come home and google to find music, then I stumble across your channel and wow. This music is like nothing I've ever heard and I've been in such a need of new music. Sorry this is so long but thank you very much for the new musical experience and taking time to read this 😥 it's beautiful and inspiring me to write again. ~nya

When i hear this, i picture a lone adventurer rushing through a dense forest, leaping over thick brambles and roots to an unknown destination with great urgency. The sun fades swiftly, and the formerly bright atmosphere melds to a hazy blue dusk. He must make it to his destination before the evening envelopes his land, though i'm not sure why. This is the image, story, and feeling I get when i hear this song, and it makes me want to know the story of this person, What is the reason for such urgency so deep into the forest? I love how emotional your music is, i'll always be a strong supporter of your work!
