The Mooncoin Album
Musical Instruments - those graceful
remnants of trees long cut, strung and banded with bright metal that was
scooped from deep underground and worked, have at least two kinds of
charm.
First there is the charm of shape, Inspiration, and kind. The harps,
pure straight strings resonating all over the ancient world, overtones
reaching through today, ring with majesty, while flutes shape breath to
tone, and pipes cry the name of every tribe. The fiddle laughs and
dances noun expanses of time and distance. All the history In each
Instrument - and then there is the charm of touch. Each players hands,
the feel of the wood on the skin, the breath, the concentration, the
sound - then the light deep within the sound, and the merging of the
inward eye and the heart. Musical Instruments - and the sound of
Mooncoin. - Kevin Carr
