A couple of years ago Robbie posted a multi-tracked percussion piece on a media site. Brian liked the piece and decided to play along with it, all of the time recording his ideas. Over the next year more material went back and forth using all of the instruments at their disposal

The music came together organically as neither musician had any preconceptions of how the parts would develop. Brian found himself walking on a musical path gently pushed by the music itself. Robbie felt free to meander as he created these paths, leaving space for Brian’s melodies to emerge 

They decided they needed one more creative contributor and that was Paul.
Over the next year the addition of bass cemented the percussive and melodic aspects of the music into one whole

Robbie re-imagined the original percussive scores to allow the soaring segments of flutes, whistles, voice and accordion and the equally exciting bass lines to create a cohesive trio

Brian Masterson’s mixing and mastering ensured a rich trio soundscape that fully accented the quality of musicianship

The title came about as one listener described it “Its like folk music but I’m not sure from which country”

These are motifs from the Blue Sphere.
