David Moufang/Pete Namlook – Move D/Namlook: Traveling the Silk Route (2CD)

Description

Recorded live at David’s reSource studio in Heidelberg Dave and Pete this time explore travelling the silk route in a journey through sound. Jazz, oriental sounds, enviromental ambient and innovative percussions relate to the silk route as a syno- nym for a trade and cultural transmission route winding through different civilizations as well as various landscapes connecting East and West Asia. The musical sequences are combined in a superb way, which portray the links of traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, nomads and urban dwellers traveling from China to the Mediterranean Sea during various periods of time on the route. The rich and inventive music is a union of cultural elements reflecting the Silk Road which was a signifi- cant factor in the development of the great civilizations and helped to lay the foundations for the modern world.
