Chapter 13 is based on a fragment of Naqsh-e Râst, an Iranian-Ottoman piece attributed to Abd ol-Qâder Marâghi, the 15th-century Iranian composer and theorist. 

This track is performed by Amir Eslami (ney), Nilufar Habibian (qanun) and Saeid Kord Mafi (santur and daff).

Phoenix of Persia Chapter 13

A tune written while playing a tin whistle as I was wading down a river. Every now and then I'd catch up to a duck, eventually getting fairly close as I continued to wade and whistle, then once I was quite near it, the duck would fly further down the river. This pattern continued for a little while and it seemed I was accidentally slowly chasing the duck. Which is where the name arose from. 

Instruments:
Kentucky mandolin, Killarney D tin whistle

Velocipede - Quail is a Pretty Bird

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
