Phil Thornton - Shaman

Seemingly from nowhere, heralded only by the distant howling of wolves and the dramatic crack of thunder, the Shaman appears. In a moment his dance of divine destiny has begun, slowly at first as a single drum helps him pick out the path of ancient footsteps. Soon the rhythm swells as the drumbeat deepens in intensity and the medicine man is lost in trance. This is Phil Thornton's homage to the arcane powers of these mysterious priests.Phil Thornton (recorders, keyboards, chicken flute, percussion loops, beanpod, rainstick, bamboo pipe), Darren Green (didgeridoos), Mike Rogers (Tibetan thigh bone), David Roberts (percussion).Tracks: The Healing Circle (18.12) / Cloak Of Darkness (6.24) / Animal Guides (25.49)
