Excited to share the latest (and last) single from my upcoming album.
How do you go about talking about a song you wrote so many years ago? “Gathering” has gone through various revisions and there’s even an early version of it with a different name lurking online somewhere.
It features Polyphonic Choirs from the region of Epirus which were the first element of Balkan traditional music that really caught my attention, and a gateway to discovering more folk music from the area.
Most importantly, Nicki Maher, an amazing clarinetist studying the music of Epirus extensively with her recent Phd thesis “The Crying Clarinet: Emotion and Music in Parakalamos” provided the lament performances that were used for the main motif as well as the general soundscape of the track.
