Description:
American anthropologist James Clifford once said, Cultures never sit still for their own portraits.' Believing this, Jaslyn Hall, one of Australia's most respected music broadcasters on the ABC/Radio National who selected the tracks for this compilation, has come to love the changes that new technology has added to traditional instrumentation and the collaborations between musicians of different races and diverse styles. She admires musicians' capacity to change and adapt to create the new feeling. Jaslyn looks at the world of music as a tree, with its roots and trunk made of classic and folk tradition from around the world. It is no surprise that the music tree has such strong roots, a large thick trunk and lush, abundant branches. Our need to grow and expand our cultural horizons makes the world of music an exciting and passionate place. Culture is an ever–changing phenomenon, with music being just one of its branches. The music of the Japanese koto, Australian indigenous didgeridoo, Thai kaen and Filipino bamboo jaw harp create a few of the branches that are the contemporary fusion often grounded in culturally rich rhythms and melodies. This release is a tribute to musicians and listeners of all ages who love change and shout in praise of the new feeling.'
