With "Music of Aurduin," Martin Ball showcases his unique world fusion style to bring to life the mythical landscapes, peoples, and events of Aurduin, the world of his "Tales of Aurduin" epic fantasy series.
In these all digital and all acoustic recordings, Martin combines such instruments as African talking drum, Australian didjeridu, Native American flute, Middle Eastern doumbek, guitar, mandolin, and more, to bring the world and characters of Aurduin to life.
This CD has several songs with Martin's intricate didjeridu playing, such as in "Festival of Waters" and "Orobai Sings the Ul'mult'ah."
It also highlights Martin's skill at melodic world fusion arrangements, such as in the haunting "Lasting Hope," or the delicate beauty of "Eagle Wings."
This album also features Martin's skill at Tuvan and Tibetan throat singing, such as in the esoteric "North Wind Spirits" and the strangely haunting "Prayer for Miraanni."...More >< Less
