Music of Silence
After 12 years, during which time I've been concentrating on writing my novel more than playing music, I have finally produced a new album, with strong Indian, Spanish, Hebrew, Russian and, of course, Armenian influences. In fact there was so much material waiting to come out that it was too much for a single album.

Cast Adrift on the Ocean

NB Tracks are linked with the sound of wind, waves, bell, drones and other sounds from nature, with the result that it may sound a bit disjointed if you listen to them out of sequence. If you download the tracks and burn them onto a disc, make sure you choose to create tracks with no gaps between them.
