    Rhythmically exciting, melodic, uplifting, earthy. This piece brings together tambora, tablas, didgeridoo, chants, strings and drums to move and inspire the spirit.
    Credits: Music, composed, performed and recorded by Derek Stokes. Didgeridoo performed by Jon Most.

    Story Behind the Song
    AS with most of my pieces, this one started out with a simple idea, then things just snowball after that. Layers of drumming and percussion were the main focus to really drive the piece and give it the energy it needed. Something else was missing though. I tried a pass at throughing in some vocals myself and walla! I've always been inspired by Aboriginal and African chants so I figured mixing the two with some didgeridoo, played by Jon Most, would be the perfect finish or icing if you will. In a world where there is so much turmoil, it's nice to escape with a small dusting of positive energy to cleanse the Spirit...
