With its origins in ancient lore, and my experiences among the First Nation people of the enchanted Bella Coola Valley in British Columbia, the Salmon Spring is a flowing musical river of sound -- guideposts on your meditative journey to the Given Wisdom.

Long ago and worlds apart. Summer Solstice.
Trips over the mountain. Old Stories for the New Age. New Music for the Old Paths.
Singing metals, bamboo flutes, organics and electronics.
Composed and recorded 'twixt Beltane and Lammas 2010
