When people talk about Organic Ambient
Music, they mean integration of electronic (computed sounds),
electric (electric guitar, bass) and acoustic (acoustic guitar)
sounds, for example.
Add to this the distinctive Ethnic Balkan
Instruments (Bouzouki, Tambura) and you have the Sound-Carpet for
Longing.
The first Volume of "The Journey – World of Music Quatrology", Longing takes the
traditional Ethnic Scales and Modes to develop its own Romantic
and Melancholic sound-vision of the Modern World we live in.
Touching the Minimalist and Neo-Classical
traditions, it represents an interesting Crossover between
Eastern Roots and Modern Western music.
Lyrical at heart, with some
soothing melodies, Longing sheds Mediterranean light into
inner-search and spiritual journey.
Christian in its outlook, it offers a
world of warm, thoughtful soundscapes, suitable to an Adult
Contemporary album.
