Paul Asbury Seaman Don't be put off by the academic description, or the New Age-sounding title. This is excellent music, spare and beautiful, and deserves a much wider audience. The Finnish kantele sounds variously like a harpsichord, harp, classical guitar, zither, even Japanese koto (one of my favorite instruments). Phippen's restrained, sometimes haunting flute playing helps this album avoid the emotionally-effusing blandness of much New Age music.

    "Improvisationalists Peter Phippen and Dr. Arja Kastinen musically fuse to create possibly the most serene,original collaboration of innovative music available today. A GRAMMY Award nominee, Peter Phippen is an innovative performer of world flutes. Researching the performance technique and history of his vast collection of antique and contemporary anthropological aerophones ultimately led him to bring this knowledge to concert stages, educational facilities and recordings.

    Dr. Arja Kastinen specializes in 19th century Karelian kantele improvisation. The kantele is a stringed instrument of the Karelian and Finnish peoples that is played by plucking the strings. Kastinen's performances are experimental journeys into the dim and distant past seeking to uphold tradition while creating new sounds."
