about

Sanctuary is an album of instrumental compositions that feature a variety of different instruments, may of which are distinctly ethnic. Stylistically, the closest category that it falls under is "world music/new age", though there are elements on the album that fall well outside of that range. A lot of the songs evoke the sounds of the South American Andes mountains, while other songs contain influences from Brazin, Mexico, Eastern Europe, and even the Middle East. On one hand, I have a deep appreciation for groove and feel, which is clearly represented on Sanctuary. However, there is a prevailing tapestry of lush harmonies and soaring melodies, giving every song an almost cinematic quality.
