Riven Inside by Carolyn Hillyer & Nigel Shaw

Description

Brand new. Opened only to make sound clips.

This album encompasses much of the softer dynamic of Nigel and Carolyn’s music. The tracks range from Nigel’s delicate flute pieces and Carolyn’s graceful and shadowy songs through to the strong tribal acoustic rhythms and unusual chants. The album is a strange and beautiful entanglement of soul-filled melodies and songs drawn from medieval, faerie, and ancient pagan worlds.

Instruments include wooden flutes, traditional whistles, voice, frame drum, djembe, dulcimer, piano, keyboards and percussion. Guest musicians are Brian Abbott on guitar and Domenic DeCicco (from Praying for the Rain) with additional vocals.
