In 1992 Nigel travelled to the USA to find his first Native American wooden flute and this album marks the beginning of his subsequent long and joyful journey with these sacred instruments. This music tracks a course around an ancient circle of ceremonial stones, each holding the key to a place within the circle of life and representing a foundation stone of our human experience. The composition is formal, featuring seven defined movements, each formed from richly interwoven melodies and rhythms, created on cedar flute, keyboards, drums, a range of sampled sounds and Carolyn’s voice.
