Of The Branches

Of The Branches is a music project, an exploration, some seeds and a garden, something to share.

The songs have been created by Scott Peterson for a project called Liminal.

Selected Liminal songs are available via Creative Commons.

The mixes contain Liminal and Inversenet tracks as well as other bits and peices, found sounds and so on, and are layered by Morgan Maher.

Many of the Liminal songs available for download are found in the mixes.

Tuva

I am pleased to announce that I will be heading to the distant land of Tuva this summer, to perform solo bass compositions at the Utsuu-Khuree music festival and study Khoomei with master throat singers.

"Ustuu-Khuree – the mightiest Buddhist monastery of pre-revolutionary Tuva - was destroyed in the early 30's , and the priests and monks were subjected to persecution.
"The flame of the lamp of this khuree (Buddhist temple-monastery) has not gone out yet", said His Holiness the Dalai Lama XIV, when he visited Tuva in September 1992.
The festival of live music, Ustuu-Khuree, which takes place in Chadan, is dedicated to the rebuilding of the temple. This year, from 15th to 19th July, this will be a 10th anniversary festival "Ustuu-Khuree", "TuvaOnline was told by the director of the festival, Igor Dulush."
