Alan Sondheim - Myk Freedman: Julu Twine

Using an arsenal of acoustic instruments including zither, antique classical guitars, tenor banjo and parlor guitar, Alan Sondheim brings these traditional sounding instruments into the realm of improvisation along with Myk Freedman whose lap steel playing adds an air of serenity to these astonishingly crafted songs. From frantic playing to oddly moving songs, "Julu Twine" moves through a wide range of emotions while firmly declaring a singular vision. The music on "Julu Twine" is best described as improvised folk music with leanings toward the experimental.
