It mixes central Asian Sufi rhythms with acoustic guitar, saxophone, and Yamaha CS8- synths. Trippy music for people that like In a Silent Way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMKp6BI6zto08 May 2025 09:52 +0000at://did:plc:igttneokcdn76pc3cmdjuy3c/app.bsky.feed.post/3lonnc43q722rhttps://bsky.app/profile/dewmitchell.bsky.social/post/3lmrdk23pac2bMy new album launches today on Bandcamp (streaming services from 5 May).

I also got to hang with these and other Dolan musicians 20 or so years ago - something that would be impossible now. The form of the music is always the same, although the modes differ - sections in 3, 4, and 5 beats to the bar.
