An improvisation based on two Estonian runo-tunes, played by:
Ian Blake: soprano sax, voice
Bernard O'Neill: double bass
Andrew Cronshaw: marovantele, wind-wand, gong
and featuring the church bell at Kaustinen, Finland.
From the CD On the Shoulders of the Great Bear (Otavaisen Olkapäillä), recorded by Antti Rintamäki at Soiva Kivi studio in Kaustinen. The marovantele is a chimaeric instrument: half Madagascan marovany, half Finnish kantele, wholly hypnotic. A Cronshaw concept, it was made in Kaustinen by kanteluthier Kimmo Sarja.
