The Sami, also known as Lapps, are the indegenous people of Northern Scandinavia. Hailing from northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia (the Kola Peninsula), their lives and appearance have a lot in common with Native Americans. Their music is dominated by the unique and easily recognizable Joik (or Yoik) which again lends similarities to the chanting vocal styles of Native American music. It is often accompanied by a simple hand drum beat.
A varied track which goes through various movements; some serene and romantic - others dark and menacing. Japanese Taiko drums, Shinmue, Koto, and Waterphone. This track goes through many different sections of Japanese inspired music.
An exotic and atmospheric Indian track featuring authentic Sarod (similar to Sitar) and Indian flute over the soft, floating chords. Dreamy and slowly swaying rhythms with table, acoustic bass. Indian wood flute joins in the later parts of the track.
A simple, heartening solo piano melody. Reflective, mellow, sparse and impressionistic. Sweet and romantic, yet also wistful and thoughtful. Perhaps a little clarity 'Through the Forest' of our busy, hustle-bustle lives? Or a child in need of help - this track has many potential media uses.
A tender, nostalgic and wistful piano solo track. Perhaps dearly held memories, endless love or personal reflection. Beautiful and melodic, but also melancholic.
A beautiful and melancholic ambient piano track. A simple, nostalgic piano melody played with grace, finely balanced on top of a strange ambient background texture. Excellent for drama, film soundtrack work, or any sincere, thought provoking web site or film footage.
Sparse, raw and cut to the bone, country bluegrass performed on banjo and mandolin. Authentic folk/bluegrass style.
