about

A unique record of ten tracks featuring instruments from pre-history, antiquity and ancient surviving musical traditions. Whilst many of the tunes are played and recorded acoustically, some include up to date electronic additions to enhance the particular sounds of the instruments. Recordings took place in Connemara, Ireland, North Wales and Hamburg Germany. The collection may be described as a further exploration of instruments and sounds evolved since the inception of the band Reconciliation in 1991. Sound Engineer and producer Rod Callan Penylan Studios contributed hugely to this album through his great understanding of the ancient instrument collection and their musical potentials. Rod has worked with Reconciliation and Ancient Music Ireland since the early 1990s. His arrangements on some of the tracks on this album cross boundaries which results in a new inspirational sound.

Evocative musical combinations are realised as a result of live concerts and previous recordings combined with techniques gained by the players in their personal careers. Particular emphasis is placed on drone rhythms and instrumental overtone as well as new drumming methods on the Irish frame drum or bodhrán.

The new vibrant sound may be described as a definitive departure from more conventional music today. Yet, strong dance rhythms are complimented by complex tone and overtone manipulation. Great walls of acoustic complexity introduce an alternative view of the essence of music both as a rhythmic stimulant and an evocative mood enhancer. The music of Reconciliation is new in the world and yet takes its influences and origins from some the oldest instruments and traditions created by humanity.
